The Heritage of the genuine Swiss Watch Tradition 10 Greatness in Details Discovering Craftsmanship and High end details Paul Picot resolutely relies on quality not only for the materials and design but also the level of its personnel. The friendly and welcoming building housing the manufacturing facility in Le Noirmont is populated by the very best in the profession. When you hold such an exceptional watch in your hand, you cannot fail to be aware of the personal commitment of its creators and the profound affinity that links them to the timepieces they develop. Each detail has, for the brand, a fundamental importance and perfection of the final product can only be archived through the exelence of each single component. You may begin to feel the waves on the bridges decorated with “cotes de Geneve” and be tempted to dive into the delicate hand guilloche dials. Each one of these details embodies the soul of a Paul Picot timepieces. You will realize it immediately and you will fall in love with it at once. Humans instinctively recognize beauty and truth and they cannot conceal real passion. 11 13 15 34 Atelier TOURBILLON 35 3389.RG.7203.L001 CASE REF. 3389.RG Calibre: PP 2200, manual-winding movement, - 28.800 vibrations/h – 42 hour power reserve – 30 rubies Functions: hour, minute, hacking seconds tourbillon at 9 o’clock.

Forever The Perpetual Calendar is one of the most fascinating mechanical movement in the watch industry. Elegance and mechanical craftsmanship are blended to produce on of the most beautiful Paul Picot model. Most watches that contain a calendar function require constant adjustment to ensure the correct date is displayed. These watches will reset after completing 31 full month cycles. Since the perpetual calendar contains leap years and an irregular number of days per month, watchmakers developed two advanced complications to set the movement more accurately so that the date doesn’t have to be adjusted every month. As long as the timepiece is wound and running, the calendar complication will be functional and accurate. Only one dial available with applied Arabic numbers. Limited edition of 25 pieces in rose gold. 43 ATELIER 42MM QUANTIEME PERPETUEL 45 3323.RG.7204.L001 CASE REF. 3323.RG Calibre: PP 1510, self-winding perpetual calendar movement, moon-phase - 28.800 vibrations/h – 42 hour power reserve – 30 rubies Functions: month and leap year subdial at 12 o’clock, moon phase subdial at 6 o’clock, day at 9 and date at 3 o’clock.

The GMT function is amazingly user friendly: the 24-hour hand (red arrow) indicates the home time. About the local time in all different counties you set simply pressing on the push-buttons at 2 and 4 o’clock. By this way you are able to adjust the 12-hour hand and quickly look the local time in your current location. The pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock move clock wise or opposite direction the 12 hour hand. The enamel is care- fully prepared and vitrified at 850 degrees Celsius. These Paul Picot Masterpieces reflect the watchmaker’s art at its most refined. 89 Specifications and Exclusive Details 92 The world map serves as the background of this new Paul Picot model where the colours of the continents and oceans create the perfect choreography for 24-hour function. Around the globe, we see the cities that correspond to the 12 hours of day or night. The calculation system is straightforward: just press the buttons up or down and the GMT hand goes forward or back immediately; this will be particularly appreciated by globetrotters who need to adjust their timepieces at every destination. Protected by a 42mm diameter case, the self-winding Paul Picot movement shares the distinctive features of the very finest watch mechanisms. It is fitted with its exclusive “Megarotor” oversized rotor which reduces the time the movement takes to wind by 20% compared to a standard automatic watch, thus improving accuracy. This exclusive rotor is made of heavy tungsten alloy and it is decorated with an 18K gold plate.

The TECHNOGRAPH is the latest example of a particularly successful marriage between supreme mastery of watchmaking techniques and their impressive implementation in design which lies at the very heart a novel way of reading the time. Teamwork accordingly enables Paul Picot to assert its identity and specialization in exclusive mechanical watches. The TECHNOGRAPH was developed on the basis of the classic and traditional chrono movement. A clever system of two superimposed dials matches for a perfectly clear display of the hours and minutes in the centre of the reading zone, to the exclusion of all other indications, while the small seconds hand, the chronometer minute counter, the calendar and 300 division minute-circle are located in a peripheral zone on the lower dial. 163 163 TECHNOGRAPH DISCOTIME - HIDE and SEEK 165 3434Q.SG.3022.3402 CASE REF. 3434.SG 3434Q.SG.3022.3401 CASE REF. 3434.SG Calibre: PP 1360, self-winding chronograph – 28.800 vibrations/h – 46 hour power reserve – 27 rubies Functions: exclusive Paul Picot movement with seconds and chronograph functions by rotating discs. “Magic” date at 6 o’clock (always jump on red) - Chronograph: central seconds hand Dial: made in 2 different floor, 1st for watch indications and ground floor for perpetual seconds and chrono subdial.

After undergoing several tests, it appears that the MEGAROTOR reduce 20% of the winding up time compared to a traditional automatic watch. The new rotor was produced with a tungsten heavy alloy and is decorated with a 18ct rose gold plate. This is due to its particular dimension as well as materials that we could get an increase in speed winding of the movement. Hand-finishing movement and case back in sapphire crystal.

The Firshire Power Reserve is truly one of the most original watches to be introduced in recent years. The idea of the “encoche” at 9 o’clock position was viewed as an incredibly ingenious design in the art of watch making. In 1994, at Basel exhibition, this unique timepiece was recognized with a special award. The “Grand Tonneau” shape of this prestigious complicated timepiece immediately catches the eye. All aesthetic details are revealing: solid silver dials decorated on 5 different levels using a wide choice of guilloche design. Solid gold rotor guilloche finished.

Since 1987 its “Pure Design” remains unchanged. One line, One circle, One concept and a Design watch become a classic between the professional diver instruments, far away from the usual forms. Plongeur and Yachtman, a dressier version, both offer a wide selection of sizes, movements and colors to face the taste of the new sporty trend. The TITANIUM version is available in Chrono 48mm, Tricompass (COSC) or Helium Valve DayDate (no COSC). 236 240 PLONGEUR 48 TITANIUM CLASSIC and HELIUM VALVE Benefiting from the innovative design and features which have ensured the international success of its predecessors since 1987 ( the A-Type and B-Type ) the Le Plongeur C-Type models will appeal to an exacting clientele who are adepts of the active life and attracted by high end design objects. Plongeur line is a kind of watch dedicated to customers who appreciate meticulously thought-out functional features and have a sure feeling for aesthetic quality down to the last detail.

Made in total full titanium match the high tech performing material as the carbon fiber for a part of the dial. 241 245 PLONGEUR 48 - 43 - 38 - 32 THE PURE LINE 246 Since 1987, the evolution of a pure line. Plongeurs saga began in 1987 with A-Type: Case diameter 38mm, steel bezel with engraved black numbers, a self-winding movement C.O.S.C. certified. Its basic design is developed on pure drawing elements: A circle line and straight lines. In 1989, B-type was on the market, best seller of the brand at that time. Its sapphire turning bezel and its sapphire crystal made quite a unique piece. The version in steeland gold with black dial and bezel became a real cult. The Plongeur B-Type was on the wrist of Paul Picot Off-shore team during the world championship for 7 years. In 2000, C-type gave a stronger identity to Plongeurs line and a new area began: polished bezel, innovative dial with its oversized number 12 and its original square indexes, and especially the chess-like, designed on the dial and the rubber strap, patented n.DM/048255. The chrono version launched in 2003 was a turning point and the Carré (square) version introduced in 2006 became a real Concept Watch! In 2008, thanks to its over size case in titanium, a new icon appeared: C-Type 48mm. Two new versions were launched in 2010: Helium valve 48mm and a limited edition incooperation with Ben Spies the American Superbike World Champion. 1987 - A TYPE 1989 - B TYPE 2000 - C TYPE 2010 - C TYPE 48 To be continued...
