Stepping up in Jacques du Manoir's range
The Inspiration Active sits in an interesting gap — a Swiss-made quartz piece with the proportions of a dress watch but a colour story borrowed from sport. The green sunray dial and matching fixed bezel read as a single bold gesture, and the silver case acts as a clean frame rather than a distraction from it. What makes the bracelet worth noting is that it does not simply match: the five-link construction runs in two-tone silver and gold, which introduces warmth against the cooler dial without breaking the coherence of the piece. At 33mm it is genuinely compact, and that taper from 16mm at the lug down to 12mm at the deployment clasp gives the wrist a tidy finish. The butterfly clasp keeps the underside flush, so nothing catches on a sleeve. The movement is a Ronda calibre — Swiss, accurate, and built to run for years without attention, which is exactly what a watch at this level of daily use should ask of its owner.

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?
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.
