Jacques du Manoir JWL01801 Inspiration Passion Bracelet Watch - W3060
Ref. JWL01801
Sits in Jacques du Manoir’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Jacques du Manoir watches we list, which start at £150.
Price range £150 to £199 across 15 Jacques du Manoir watches in stock.The Inspiration Passion line is Jacques du Manoir's case for dress-watch classicism done in Swiss quartz — unhurried, precise, and built to be worn rather than displayed. The guilloché wave pattern on the white dial is the decision that separates this from a plain-faced equivalent: at 34mm the dial is not large, and the texture gives it depth and movement without demanding scale to read well. Gold-tone baton indices, matching hands and a fluted gold-tone bezel sit in close agreement, so the whole face reads as composed rather than assembled. At 9mm thick it disappears under a cuff in the way a dress watch should, and the two-tone bracelet — brushed and polished links in silver and gold — carries through the dial's own tonal mix so nothing feels added as an afterthought. The butterfly clasp closes flush against the underside of the wrist, which matters on a bracelet that adjusts across a range wide enough to suit most wrists. The Ronda 505 inside is a Swiss movement with a reputation for running quietly and correctly for years; on a single battery cell it will go roughly 45 months between changes.

Learn more about Jacques du Manoir
Jacques du Manoir is a Swiss-made brand sold largely through independent jewellers in Britain and Ireland. Its watches are conventional in the best sense — legible dials, restrained cases, Swiss movements — and priced well below what "Swiss made" usually costs.
The company keeps a low public profile and publishes little about its own history, so there is not much that can be said here with confidence. What can be said is that the watches are made to the Swiss labelling standard, which sets minimum requirements for where a movement is assembled and inspected.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
19mm. 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 women's, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
