Refined. Certified. Timeless.

In the 1940s and 50s, Lebois & Co created a surprising range of elegant small seconds watches — each defined by balance, character, and precision. The Heritage Small Seconds collection brings that legacy into the present, with Swiss-made cases, COSC chronometer-certified movements, and classic proportions.

Stories behind

Baton

Named for its slim, pointed indexes, the Baton draws on two rare Lebois watches from the 1930s. Sharp hour markers and a recessed small seconds give it a calm, timeless rhythm. A pure dress watch: slim, quiet and enduring.

Script

Born at a Monaco auction in 2018, where a vintage chronograph with Breguet-style numerals caught our eye. Reinterpreted with designer Matthieu Allègre, Script pairs calligraphic grace with a delicate “Chronomètre” signature. Formal, poetic and precise.

Numeral

Inspired by the Christie’s watch that sparked the revival of Lebois & Co., once pinned to Tom van Wijlick’s fridge as a daily reminder of a dream. Precisely printed Arabic numerals make it bold, legible and full of soul.

COSC

Officially Chronometer Certified

Each Heritage Small Seconds timepiece is certified by COSC — the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres — Switzerland’s independent institute for chronometer testing.

To earn this distinction, every movement must meet exacting standards of mechanical precision, tested over multiple days in five positions and three temperatures. It’s a certification few watches receive.

Several original Lebois & Co watches from the mid-century era proudly bore the word “Chronomètre” on their dials. We’ve brought that tradition back, not as decoration, but as a mark of verified performance.

Publications
