Lebois & Co has begun delivering the first Founder’s Launch pieces of its Heritage Small Seconds, while opening reservations for the 2027 production run. The trio – Baton, Script and Numeral – now appears in official photography as finished watches rather than promise.
The case keeps to civilised proportions at 37.8 mm in 316L steel, 10.5 mm thick, with a double-domed sapphire up top and a screw-down display back. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which is honest for a dress-leaning daily wearer.
The three dials split personalities with care: Baton (Ref. 641.480) in sunburst blue with elongated pointed indexes; Script (Ref. 641.407) in silver with Breguet-style numerals created with designer Matthieu Allègre; Numeral (Ref. 641.500) in black with full Arabic numerals, a nod to the vintage piece that sparked the brand’s revival. All carry the Chronomètre line on the dial.
Inside beats the automatic LC-350, COSC-certified, running at 4 Hz with a 56-hour power reserve and small seconds. Functions are spare – hours, minutes, seconds – which suits the brief. No fireworks, just measured timekeeping.
Reservations for the 2027 production open on 20 October 2026 through the brand’s site, with estimated delivery in early summer 2027. Pricing is set at EUR 2650 including VAT or USD 3050.
Lebois & Co frames the Heritage Small Seconds as a platform: this 37.8 mm architecture already underpins the Atelier editions like Clous de Paris and Stroopwafel. Sensibly, the core model stays restrained, letting typography and surface do the talking. A small seconds done small – and done right – is harder than it looks.
Key specifications: 37.8 mm case, 45.5 mm lug to lug, 20 mm lug width, 10.5 mm thickness, double-domed sapphire with internal AR, display back, 5 ATM. Calibre LC-350, COSC, 31 jewels, 28,800 vph, 56-hour reserve.
