Jacques du Manoir NRO.20 Inspiration Bracelet Watch - W3051
Ref. NRO.20
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.A compact dress watch from a Swiss maker, built around the kind of two-tone finishing that takes more care to execute than either plain steel or full gold plating — the boundary between the metals has to read as intentional, not accidental. Here it does, carried consistently from the case through to the bracelet so that the two read as a single object rather than mismatched parts. At 26mm it sits close to the wrist with minimal projection, suiting a narrower wrist without feeling undersized on others. The black dial throws the gold-toned hands and crystal-set hour markers into immediate contrast, which means it reads cleanly in low light without depending on lume.

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.

This watch appears in Watches Under 37mm (1,300), Women's Watches (1,210), Back in Stock (1,176) and Two-Tone Watches (371).

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