42 mm dialBlack leather strap
The Jupiter Black is defined by a sophisticated and modern design, where everything is about nuance. The case and dial feature a deep matte black, with no unnecessary reflections. On this backdrop, three slightly rimmed sub-dials and a date window form a balanced composition, while the hands are accented with a touch of chrome blue that immediately catches the eye. This colorful detail, used sparingly, gives the watch a fresh and stylish look, midway between the rigor of black and the vibrancy of blue. The 42 mm dial offers a versatile format that is present without being imposing. The black leather strap, with its matte finish, extends the sobriety of the case: 24 cm long and 2 cm wide, it adjusts to fit any wrist. The Jupiter Black is the ideal accessory to accompany you during your events, from a dinner with friends to a more formal evening, and it pairs effortlessly with a white shirt or a dark suit.
The color
Matte black, revealed by blue
A matte black absorbs light instead of reflecting it. On a watch, it provides a sense of depth and modernity, while erasing superfluous details. This is the choice made for the Jupiter Black's case as well as its dial.
In this dark universe, even the slightest color takes on a particular strength. The touches of chrome blue on the hands and sub-dials thus become the focal point of the dial, guiding the eye toward what matters: the time.

The perfect contrast
The Jupiter Black is based on a simple idea: a black monochrome awakened by a single color. This approach gives it a very contemporary elegance, close to the world of design and minimalist objects.
The sub-dials, thin indices, and date window remain tone-on-tone; only the blue stands out. The result is a sophisticated, easy-to-wear watch that stands out through its coherence rather than its shine.

Also available in Sand version: The Jupiter comes with a sand-colored leather strap for a lighter and more casual look. The matte black case, 42 mm dial, and touches of chrome blue are identical on both models.
Style tip: the matte black of the Jupiter Black pairs particularly well with black leather accessories with a matte finish: belts, wallets, or bags. Avoid wearing it next to very shiny jewelry, which would break its sober effect.

Frequently asked questions
What is the special feature of The Jupiter Black?
The Jupiter Black is distinguished by its full matte black, awakened by a touch of chrome blue. The case, dial, and leather strap are black, without any unnecessary reflections, while the hands and certain details of the sub-dials adopt a vibrant blue. This unique contrast draws the eye to the essentials and gives the watch a fresh, modern, and sophisticated look. It is a watch with a highly coherent style, ideal for those who like minimalist objects with a signature detail.
What is the size of the watch?
The Jupiter Black features a 42 mm dial, a versatile diameter that suits most wrists. It is very present without being imposing, making it easy to wear daily as well as in the evening. The black leather strap is 24 cm long and 2 cm wide and adjusts to all wrist sizes. If you prefer a larger model, La Classique and La Hubot measure 45 mm, while La Mercure offers 43 mm.
What is the difference with The Jupiter Sand?
Both watches share exactly the same matte black case, 42 mm dial, sub-dials, date, and touches of chrome blue. Only the strap changes. The Jupiter Black is equipped with a black leather strap, for a monochrome, sober, and formal look. The Jupiter Sand features a lighter, sand-colored leather strap with stitching, which creates a more casual contrast. Choose the Black for formal outfits and evening settings.
What do the sub-dials on the dial represent?
The dial of The Jupiter Black includes three sub-dials arranged around the center and a date window around 4:30. This composition follows the codes of chronograph-type watches and adds depth to the dial without hindering its legibility. For the precise function of each sub-dial and pusher, refer to the manual provided with the watch. The time can be read at a glance thanks to the hands accented with chrome blue, which stand out clearly from the matte black background.
How do I set the time and date?
Setting is done using the crown, on the right side of the case. Pull it out one click to set the date, then a second click to set the time, before gently pushing it back to its initial position. Never force the crown. It is recommended to avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, a period during which the date-change mechanism is often in progress. The manual provided with the watch specifies the function of each element, including the pushers.
Can I wear it 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 perspiration can damage it. The leather strap is particularly sensitive, as humidity can deform and stain it. If your watch gets wet despite this, wipe it with a soft cloth and let the strap air dry, away from any heat source. These few precautions will preserve the matte look and elegance of your Jupiter Black for a long time.
Is the Jupiter Black a good gift idea?
Yes, it is an elegant gift that is easy to give. Its matte black goes well with any wardrobe, and its touch of chrome blue brings an originality that distinguishes it from classic black watches. It is perfectly suited for a birthday, graduation, Father's Day, or a first job. It is the ideal accessory to accompany events, from dinners to formal evenings. For a more complete gift, pair it with a matching black leather piece, also with a matte finish.
