...and bravo to the 2 investors that saved Pequignet from bankruptcy in 2012!
I agree...that Calibre Royal is an exquisite, beautiful and amazingly designed calibre, and the crown jewel of the brand for sure IMO.
Very impressive power reserve too at 88 hours...wow!
(nothing to sneeze at for sure, except when comparing it to stratospheric movements from the likes of Lang & Sohne with their crazy long main springs to achieve unheard of power reserves). Heck, even the legendary Spring Drive calibre used on Seiko's killer GS line achieves something like 72 hours of power reserve if I'm remembering correctly.That is quite an achievement! Loving that Calibre Royal movement...very cool stuff!
