Petermann-Bédat 1826 Limited Edition for The Hour Glass Japan hits the spotlight with a Fresh, Compact Design

The watchmaking duo of Gaël Petermann and Florian Bédat are at it again, this time presenting a cause for delight for all the sophisticated watch enthusiasts in Japan. The Petermann-Bédat 1826 Limited Edition, crafted exclusively for The Hour Glass in Japan, is an exquisite masterpiece that conveys grandeur in a compact design.

The marvellous new piece follows on the heels of the Petermann-Bédat 1825, a brilliant creation which was unveiled in 2025. While the new arrival retains all the charm of its predecessor, it stands apart in one distinctive way - the size, or lack thereof. Having downsized from the erstwhile 38mm case to a compact 36mm case, the 1826 edition has a certain allure that’s uniquely spellbinding and aptly catered towards the Japanese market.

From the unique melding of personalities between Petermann and Bédat, a literal dynamic duo of horology, to their keen understanding of their market, the brand remains an unstoppable force in the luxury watch industry. Colour options in this 36mm case include both white and rose gold, further enhancing their appeal. The launch of the Petermann-Bédat 1826 Limited Edition is indeed a beacon of what to anticipate in the world of horology as Petermann and Bédat take the watch enthusiasts on an exciting journey.
