42 mm dialLeather strap

With La Discrète, elegance is a whisper. This minimalist watch knows how to be unobtrusive on your wrist while matching every one of your outfits. Its thin, polished silver case frames a highly pure 42 mm dial: simple stick indices, two tapered hands, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. Nothing more, and that is precisely the point. Turn it over, and it reveals its secret: a transparent case back exposes the gears of the mechanism, a spectacle reserved for the one wearing it. La Discrète comes in three versions: white dial with black leather strap, white dial with brown leather strap, or black edition with black dial and black strap. Each leather strap, highlighted by stitching, measures 22 cm long and 2 cm wide, closing with a silver pin buckle. A dress watch, timeless, which easily slips under a shirt cuff.

Three versions

Black Edition

The silver case and transparent case back are common to all three versions. The Black Edition stands out with its black dial for a more pronounced contrast.

The transparent case back

A mechanism to discover on the back

The back of La Discrète features a transparent case back. Through it, one can see the gears, bridges, and pieces of the mechanism, openworked and finely crafted. It is a nod to watchmaking tradition, which loves to show what makes a watch beat.

This contrast is intentional: a sober dial on the front, a visible mechanism on the back. The watch remains discreet to others, but reveals its complexity to the one who turns it over.

The art of sobriety

La Discrète is part of the tradition of dress watches: a slim case, a clean dial, a leather strap. No date, no numbers, no heavy bezel: only the essentials, perfectly proportioned.

The small seconds sub-dial, placed at 6 o'clock, provides just enough movement. The white version evokes classic watchmaking, while the Black Edition gives it a more contemporary and nocturnal look.

Frequently asked questions

What are the differences between the three versions?
All three versions share the same silver case, the same transparent case back, and the same 42 mm dial. The Brown version combines a white dial with a brown leather strap, for a warm look. The Black version keeps the white dial with a black leather strap, which is more formal. Finally, the Black Edition adopts a black dial and a black strap, for a more contemporary and contrasted result. Choose according to your wardrobe and the style you wish to project.
What is the size of La Discrète?
La Discrète has a 42 mm dial, a balanced diameter that suits most wrists. Its slim case allows it to slide easily under a shirt cuff, making it a true dress watch. The leather strap is 22 cm long and 2 cm wide; it is adjustable thanks to its pin buckle and adjustment holes. It is one of the most balanced models in our range, ideal for a slim to medium wrist.
What can be seen through the transparent case back?
The back of La Discrète is equipped with a transparent case back that reveals the watch's mechanism: gears, openworked bridges, and finely crafted metallic parts. This is a detail that recalls watchmaking tradition, where one loves to show what powers a watch. This spectacle remains reserved for the person wearing it: on the front, the watch retains its perfectly sober dial. You only need to turn it over to discover the underside, a little surprise always appreciated when gifting it to a loved one.
Why is there no date?
La Discrète was designed with a minimalist spirit. Its dial keeps only the essentials: the hours, the minutes, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. The absence of a date window preserves the symmetry and purity of the dial, a characteristic typical of dress watches. If you want a watch with a date display, other models in our range are equipped with one, such as La Mercure, La Jupiter, or La Classique. La Discrète relies entirely on the elegance of simplicity.
How do I set the time?
Setting is done using the crown, located on the right side of the case. Pull it gently to the setting notch, turn it to set the hands to the desired time, then push it back to the initial position. Always handle it without forcing so as not to damage it. The small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock allows you to verify at a glance that the watch is working. For any questions regarding the mechanism's operation, the manual provided with the watch details each step.
Can I wear La Discrète in the shower or for sports?
No, we advise against it. Do not wear your watch during sports or in the shower: water, steam, and sweat can damage it. The leather strap is particularly sensitive to moisture, which can deform and stain it. Also avoid impacts, to which a watch with a slim case and transparent back should not be exposed. Simply remove it before these activities: La Discrète is made to accompany your workdays, dinners, and appointments.
How do I maintain the leather strap?
Regularly wipe the strap with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and sweat traces. Let it breathe after a hot day by laying the watch flat. Avoid perfume, creams, and prolonged sun exposure, which dry out the leather and can alter its color, especially on the brown strap. Once or twice a year, a colorless cream for smooth leather, applied in a thin layer, maintains its suppleness. The leather will take on a beautiful patina over time.
