What to know

Pequignet’s Royale Paris Chrono BPM, reference 9120343, turns a mechanical chronograph into a tempo tool. Start the central hand, count 30 beats and the outer scale translates the interval into beats per minute. Its black-to-electric-blue gradient dial recalls late-night club lighting, while graphic bars near 12 o’clock reference the level display of a mixing desk.

The 39.5mm steel case is 12.7mm thick, spans 47mm lug to lug and is water resistant to 50 metres. Pequignet’s cam-operated Calibre Initial Chronograph drives central seconds, a 30-minute counter and small seconds. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback; the aligned crown and pushers rely on an offset-stem construction.
