Price range £150 to £189 across 13 Jacques du Manoir watches in stock.

The Inspiration Business sits within Jacques du Manoir's dress watch line, drawing its proportions and character from classical luxury references — the barrel-shaped mid-case, the fluted bezel, and the cyclops lens over the date window are all deliberate nods to that tradition, rendered here in a unified gold-tone finish across case and bracelet. At 40mm with a 9.5mm profile, it wears close to the cuff rather than proud of it, and the sunburst dial catches directional light in a way that reads richer than a flat gold surface would. The Swiss-made Ronda 515 movement inside is a calibre that repairers know well and that keeps time reliably over years without demanding attention — sensible engineering underneath a dressy exterior. The butterfly clasp closes flush against the underside of the wrist and gives the bracelet a continuous, uninterrupted line when worn. Link adjustment here uses standard pins rather than a tool-free system, so sizing is a job for a jeweller rather than the owner, but once set it sits squarely and moves cleanly.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.

Will the glass scratch?

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

What size strap does it take?

21mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
