Lebois & Co unveils the Heritage Atelier Chronograph Bleu sur Blanc, a restrained two-register chronograph that puts Grand Feu enamel and a decimal scale at center stage. The enamel dial pairs a warm off-white main surface with deep blue registers, yielding calm contrast and crisp legibility without noise.
Made in a three-piece construction with a subtly domed enamel main plate, the dial is fired in successive layers for depth and permanence. The tone sits between eggshell and clinical white, unmistakably enamel as light rolls over the surface. The decimal track around the periphery divides each minute into 100 units, favoring straightforward calculation over automotive bravado. It asks you to look twice, then rewards you with clarity.
The steel case measures 39 mm in diameter, 14.3 mm thick (10.9 mm without crystal), with a 47.35 mm lug to lug and 20 mm lug width. A double-domed sapphire with internal anti-reflective coating, screwed caseback, and 5 ATM water resistance keep things practical. The proportions should wear compact, the kind of chronograph that disappears until you need it.
Inside is the hand-wound LC-450, a column-wheel chronograph running at 28,800 vph with 60 hours of power reserve and 23 jewels. It is a traditional choice that suits the dial’s purpose-first ethos. No tachymeter, no telemeter – just time measured cleanly to the hundredth of a minute.
First presentation is set for Time to Watches, Geneva, 14 to 19 April 2026, alongside images from the enamel workshop and a short film on the craft at Donzé Cadrans. Orders open on 14 April, with initial deliveries expected from October 2026. Production is limited to pieces made in 2026 only, priced at EUR 9,800 incl. VAT or USD 11,950.
