Jacques du Manoir JWN01704 Inspiration Business Bracelet Watch - W3064
Ref. JWN01704
Sits in Jacques du Manoir’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Jacques du Manoir watches we list, which start at £150.
Price range £150 to £199 across 15 Jacques du Manoir watches in stock.Swiss Made provenance at 40mm puts this squarely in the middle ground the Inspiration Business collection is built around — professional enough for a desk, straightforward enough to wear past it. The two-tone case and matching bracelet keep the champagne dial from reading too plain, with the gold-tone accents drawing the two materials together rather than leaving them at odds. The date function does its job without complicating the dial, and 50m water resistance handles rain and the occasional splash without pretending to be something it is not.

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 3 collections
This watch appears in Back in Stock (4,405), Two-Tone Watches (446) and Champagne & Cream Dial Watches (160).

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 unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
