It\u2019s a testament to the inventive richness for which he is recognised today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some watchmaking concepts attempt to make a link between the design of a watch case and that of a car body. The masterful approach taken by Stellantis Design Studio was to draw inspiration from the automotive world while extending it to the broader Pecqueur Motorists universe of mechanical arts in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Differential of this watchmaking complication has been reimagined and used in a different way from what we typically see in a watch. The Differential acts as an interface, an access code to the engine of the watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By adjusting the destination time in relation to local time, the Differential also minimises the impact on the watch\u2019s timekeeping. This means improved precision and reliability over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the Differential plays a central role in the dial design of the Pecqueur Motorists watch. It occupies prime real estate, right at the centre of the seven different levels of the dial, where it creates a kind of platform, a place where your eyes can rest, take in the mechanics and appreciate the genius of its inventor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What fuels my passion for watchmaking is its history \u2013 the challenges it has faced and the remarkable innovations driven by legions of artisan watchmakers. Most of all, I\u2019m fascinated by the relationship between past, present and future, which is what makes this history so perennially relevant. The Pecqueur Motorists watch provides a perfect illustration of this relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The creative genius of On\u00e9siphore Pecqueur can be seen in this interconnection between different fields that sometimes have nothing to do with each other.
