Jacques du Manoir is a Swiss watch brand headquartered in Mendrisio, Switzerland. The company traces its origins back to 1904, when Louis Schwab established a watchmaking business in Moutier, Switzerland. Building on this family legacy, his grandson Jacques Boegli launched the brand in 1993, while owner Christian Frommherz later acquired the marque in 2018.
Enthusiasts appreciate Jacques du Manoir for its Swiss-made precision, accessible luxury pricing, and versatile aesthetic options ranging from classic, understated designs to vibrant, modern color palettes. The timepieces predominantly utilize reliable Swiss quartz movements housed in durable stainless steel cases.
The brand’s catalog is organized around several key collections. The hallmark Inspiration series features classic design elements such as fluted bezels, magnified date windows, and jubilee-style bracelets, with specialized sub-lines including the Inspiration Business, Inspiration Glamour, and Inspiration Passion. For underwater functionality, the Pro Scuba line delivers dive-ready features with high water resistance and unidirectional rotating bezels. Additionally, the Horizon collection caters to enthusiasts seeking modern, minimalist dials.
