Explore Jacques Lemans

Jacques Lemans takes a broad view of what belongs on a wrist: a steel chronograph with a busy dial, a restrained dress watch, or a ceramic design that makes material part of the composition. Founded in Switzerland in 1975, the brand has built a catalogue around that variety rather than a single signature watch. Quartz movements feature prominently, alongside mechanical options for those who prefer a balance wheel to a battery.

The Liverpool collection is a useful place to get acquainted. Its chronographs lean into familiar sporting cues: contrasting subdials, substantial cases, and timing scales that give the dial a purposeful frame. Elsewhere, simpler three-hand designs trade that density for clear hour markers and quieter proportions. There is no need to mistake one approach for the other; both belong here.

High Tech Ceramic brings a different emphasis, with ceramic cases and bracelets moving attention from dial detail to surface and silhouette. The solar-powered Eco Power range, meanwhile, puts the movement’s energy source at the center of the story.
