Stepping up in Jacques du Manoir's range
The Inspiration Active sits at the practical end of Jacques du Manoir's women's range — a Swiss-made piece built around a Ronda movement and intended for daily wear rather than occasion dressing. At 33mm it finds a size that reads as modern without demanding wrist space, and the blue sunray dial against a matching fixed bezel gives it more visual coherence than the case alone might suggest. At 80 grams it wears lighter than a solid bracelet watch at this size often does, and 9mm of case thickness means it slides under a cuff without the slight snagging that catches thicker sport-adjacent designs. The deployant clasp keeps the exterior line clean and removes the bracelet's tendency to gap when opened — which, combined with the 50m water resistance, means it survives daily life, including rain and a careless moment at the sink, without ceremony.

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.
Also in 5 collections
This watch appears in Back in Stock (5,241), Stainless Steel Watches (3,391), Watches Under 37mm (1,830), Women's Watches (1,754) and Blue Dial Watches (950).

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?
16mm. 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.
