Price range £150 to £199 across 15 Jacques du Manoir watches in stock.

The Emily collection is Jacques du Manoir's case for a rectangular dress watch worn close to the wrist — at 19mm wide and 8mm deep, it sits beneath a cuff without bulk, reading more as a piece of jewellery than as an instrument. Crystals set vertically along the case edges catch light from the side, which gives the watch more presence than its compact footprint would suggest, while blue hands against the white dial introduce just enough contrast to be immediately legible. The movement inside is a Ronda calibre, Swiss-made and the sensible choice for a watch whose job is to disappear on the wrist rather than attract attention for its mechanics.

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?

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.

Water resistance explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

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.
