Noir Élance
Watch
A rectangular watch with a dark dial on a chain bracelet with leather woven through it. Four colourways.
Water resistant to 3 metres, with a scratch-resistant crystal.
The bracelet is the watch
A flat chain with a leather strip threaded through every link is a bag-strap idea worn on the wrist. The bracelet has two materials and two textures where most watches have one, and it is the reason this reads as an accessory rather than as a timepiece with a band.
Photographed in rose gold with a black dial. Four colourways are offered.
Rectangular case, chain and leather
The case is a small rectangle with a squared bezel and a dark dial, roughly 22 mm across by 30 mm tall. The crown is tucked at the side so the outline stays clean.
The bracelet is a flat chain with a leather strip woven through the links along its whole length, fastening at a folding clasp. It sits closer to a chain bracelet than to a watch band, which is exactly the intention.
It carries water resistance to 3 metres, a scratch-resistant crystal and a 23 cm bracelet.
How it wears
- A small rectangular case, roughly 22 mm by 30 mm
- Chain and leather give the bracelet two textures rather than one
- A dark dial keeps the case quiet against a busy bracelet
- Sits well stacked with pearls and chain bracelets
- Reads as jewellery rather than as an instrument
The product
Water resistance to 3 metres, a scratch-resistant crystal over the dial, and a 23 cm bracelet. Three metres covers rain and hand-washing; leather in particular should be kept dry, so take it off before washing up.
Four colourways
Listed at checkout as Rose Silver, Gold, Rose and Gold Silver. The case and woven chain are shared; the metal tone and the dial are what change.
Why it costs what it costs
Threading leather through a chain by hand is slow work, and it has to sit flat through every link or the bracelet twists on the wrist. That is where the cost of this one sits, not in the case.
We sell direct. There is no shop floor between this watch and you and no distributor taking a cut on the way, so the retail margin that normally sits on top of a piece like this is simply not in the price.

How big is the case?
Roughly 22 mm across by 30 mm tall.
Can I swim in it?
No. Three metres covers rain and hand-washing, and the leather in the bracelet should be kept dry.
Can the bracelet be shortened?
It is a chain with a folding clasp, so a watch shop can take out links — the leather is re-threaded through the shortened length.
Does the leather wear?
It softens and darkens where it sits against the skin, which is what leather does. It does not come loose from the links.
Does it come in a box?
Yes — a gift box with a protective cushion.
How should it be cleaned?
A dry cloth on the case and chain. Keep water and creams off the leather.
Four colourways, held in a small run
A hand-woven bracelet is slow to make, so this is stocked in small quantities rather than carried continuously.
Pick your colourway above and add it to the bag. If it is not right on your wrist, send it back.
