A tremendously talented new independent watchmaker on the scene, Pascal Coyon’s Chronometre Series 1 sold out nearly immediately — then took 4 years to deliver! The lucky (and patient!) owners were treated to one of the all-time best values in independent watchmaking. Now trading at multiples of the original price, the CS1 is still a bargain for the foundational piece of an up and coming star. The stainless steel case with the white lacquer dial makes for a watch that will be as at-home with a dress shirt as jeans and a t-shirt.

This example features the red 12 and blue Breguet-style hands with the gorgeous gilded movement and is complete with box and papers.
