Stepping up in Jacques du Manoir's range
At 22mm, the Mini Inspiration sits closer to a bangle than a conventional watch — which is clearly the intent. Jacques du Manoir designed it as something that disappears into a bracelet stack or reads as jewellery on its own, and the fluted bezel, iridescent black mother-of-pearl dial and concealed push-button clasp all serve that ambition rather than announcing themselves as watch components. The Ronda movement inside runs to an 84-month battery life and includes a hacking seconds hand for precise setting — more considered mechanically than the case size might suggest. Two hands on a shifting, light-sensitive dial keeps the face uncluttered, and at this scale, anything more would crowd it.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
