A New Chapter In Classic Watchmaking: The Lebois & Co Heritage Small Seconds Collection

MRSTATELESS LEBOIS & CO, NEW RELEASES 2025, Small Seconds 0

Lebois & Co revive the spirit of classic mechanical watchmaking with the launch of the Heritage Small Seconds collection — a refined series of three-hand timepieces that blend vintage proportions with modern precision. Available in Script, Baton, and Numeral versions, this new line showcases the brand’s dedication to timeless design and certified chronometric performance.

A Return to Elegant Simplicity

Following its successful chronograph releases in recent years, Lebois & Co now focuses on understated sophistication with this three-hand collection. Each Heritage Small Seconds model features a 37.80 mm stainless steel case that captures the balance of mid-century design, complemented by a slim 8 mm profile (10.50 mm including the domed sapphire crystals front and back). These dimensions make the watch both contemporary and true to vintage proportions, offering comfort and presence on the wrist.

Three Distinct Dials, One Refined Spirit

Each reference presents a distinct dial execution, carefully designed to reflect the character of the original Lebois timepieces from the mid-20th century. Despite their differences, all models share two central leaf-shaped hands and a railroad-style minute track, subtle details that enhance legibility and lend a classic touch to the overall design.

The Heritage Small Seconds Baton stands out with its blue galvanic dial featuring a sunray finish and polished applied baton markers, resulting in a clean, modern aesthetic. The Heritage Small Seconds Script adopts a more traditional character with a silver galvanic dial adorned with applied Breguet-style numerals, combining refined elegance with vintage flair. Meanwhile, the Heritage Small Seconds Numeral introduces a sportier, more casual personality through its black sandblasted dial and printed Arabic numerals, staying faithful to Lebois’s historical designs.

All three models feature a small seconds subdial positioned at 6 o’clock, adding a touch of visual balance and serving as a nod to traditional watchmaking layouts that emphasize symmetry and clarity.

Swiss Precision Inside

Powering the Heritage Small Seconds collection is the Swiss-made LC-350 automatic movement, based on the proven Sellita SW300 series. Each watch is COSC-certified, ensuring exceptional accuracy and reliability that meet the highest chronometric standards. The movement delivers a 56-hour power reserve, representing a perfect balance between traditional mechanics and modern performance.

A Contemporary Launch for Collectors

The Founder’s Launch marks the first production run of 100 units for each variant. While not limited editions, these first-release models come with exclusive extras: a Fixoflex stretch bracelet and a Chronomètre Lebois & Co sweater, both included with early pre-orders. The collection is priced at € 2,200, with pre-orders open until November 28th, 2025, and deliveries scheduled for spring 2026.

Reviving a Legacy

Originally founded in 1934 by Raymond Dodane of the renowned Dodane watchmaking family, Lebois & Co disappeared from the market in the early 1970s. The brand was revived in 2014 by Dutch entrepreneur Tom van Wijlick, who continues to honor its heritage through designs that merge Swiss craftsmanship with modern elegance.

With the Heritage Small Seconds collection, Lebois & Co strengthens its place among the new generation of revived European watch brands — dedicated to preserving timeless design while embracing today’s standards of precision and quality.
