== History == In 1973, Emile Pequignet, designer and founder of a watchmaking concern, set up his own business in Morteau, France. As a native of Haut-Doubs, he was a horse breeder and a recognized horseman; he took part in many national riding events and invested thirty percent of his communications budget in equestrian sponsorship. The Emile Pequignet brand was associated with the world of horseriding and in 1980 was presented an “Equitation” line of wristwatches, whose dials represent horses' heads engraved on a coin. Another inspiration that Emile Pequignet took was exotic countries. This is seen in the collections MOOREA (inspired by the island in French Polynesia), SAKKARA (the most ancient pyramid in Egypt) and MASSAI (name of an African tribe).
