Stepping up in Jacques du Manoir's range
A Swiss-made rectangular dress watch from a brand that has occupied this particular niche — small-cased, jewellery-adjacent, built in Switzerland — for decades. The Emily is the kind of thing Jacques du Manoir does well: a case at 19mm that sits closer to a bracelet link than a sport watch, powered by a Renata 371 cell, which is a reliable Swiss quartz battery with a strong track record for consistent timekeeping over several years without attention. The rectangular case runs just 8mm thick and 22mm lug to lug, so it lies very flat against the wrist and disappears under a cuff. At 70 grams complete with bracelet, it wears without presence in the physical sense. The white dial carries Roman numerals in black with blue hands — a contrast that reads clearly without turning clinical — and the fully polished solid-link bracelet integrates flush with the case lines rather than meeting them at an angle, which is what keeps the whole thing reading as one piece of jewellery.

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.

This watch appears in Stainless Steel Watches (2,605), Back in Stock (1,908), Watches Under 37mm (1,359), Women's Watches (1,249) and Rectangular & Square Watches (354).

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
