The Watch

The La Pièce N°1 - Bleu Empire watch by Beaubleu is the perfect embodiment of French elegance and watchmaking expertise. A limited edition of 888 pieces created in collaboration with the Monnaie de Paris, this timepiece is made in France and features a round case with a diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of 10.2 mm, crafted from 316L stainless steel. The brushed matte and polished finishes give it a refined, contemporary look. The screwed transparent caseback lets you admire the mechanical beauty of the automatic movement with its rotor. The single crown makes setting the time effortlessly intuitive.

The Dial

The one-piece dial of this watch is a true work of watchmaking artistry, exuding sophistication through its deep blue hue. It features architecturally precise concentric circles, enriched by silver Roman hour markers that bring clarity and distinction to the eye. This classic composition is brought to life by the sweep of the flying seconds hand, which appears to orbit the dial in weightless motion. Protected by a domed sapphire crystal, the dial is not only shielded from scratches but also plays with light in a way that adds a magical quality to its character. The double-circle finish crafted by the Monnaie de Paris puts the final touch on this one-of-a-kind piece, confirming the exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship.

The Movement

Inside, this watch is powered by a French-designed automatic movement manufactured by France Ébauches. This caliber delivers outstanding precision and reliability, with a power reserve of 46 hours. The movement is fully visible through the transparent caseback, making every tick a pleasure to observe. It displays the essential timekeeping functions - hours, minutes, and seconds - via circular hands.

The Strap

This watch comes with several strap options to effortlessly complement any style or occasion. Choose a stainless steel strap with a silver finish, fitted with a sliding buckle for a simple, precise wrist fit. It's also available with grained leather straps in blue or black for a timeless, elegant look. Two additional versions in black leather and blue caiman-embossed leather round out the collection, adding a bolder, more sophisticated edge. All leather models feature an ardillon buckle for a secure hold and all-day comfort.

Water Resistance

The Beaubleu Bleu Empire Watch features water resistance up to 5 ATM, protecting it against moisture and water splashes. This rating allows for limited immersion - ideal for everyday use like washing your hands or a quick shower, and it holds up just fine in light rain or an afternoon by the pool.
