Watch Beaubleu La Pièce n°1 - Olive Green

Born from a collaboration with the historic Monnaie de Paris , one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the world, La Pièce represents a new chapter in the story of the Beaubleu brand.

For more than twelve centuries, the Monnaie de Paris has mastered the art of metal stamping – shaping coins and medals with exceptional precision. But until now, this craftsmanship has never been applied to watchmaking. La Pièce is a world premiere, created in the heart of Paris at the capital’s last major active mint.

Combining centuries of metalworking craftsmanship with Beaubleu’s unique design language , La Pièce pushes the boundaries of the traditional watch face. Using a coin-stamping technique, the material itself is shaped into relief. Surfaces are raised, deepened and catch the light in a way rarely seen in watchmaking. Every detail is created directly in the metal – not applied to it, but naturally emerges from it.

A true collaboration of "four hands", struck in the heart of Paris.

Designed as if cut from a single solid block of paper, La Pièce No. 1 unfolds through a series of off-center circles that evoke the movement of light from sunrise to sunset.

An allegory of the passing of the day, its finely powdered relief recalls the soft texture of paper. The printed hour markers catch the light with a subtle moiré effect, creating subtle changes in tone as the dial moves.

Above all this, a levitating seconds hand floats with natural ease.
