What to know
Beaubleu’s La Pièce No.2 Argent brings the Monnaie de Paris into watchmaking through a monobloc dial struck like a coin. Its radial grooves and integrated hour markers emerge directly from the metal rather than being assembled separately. Beaubleu’s floating circular seconds hand crosses that sculpted silver surface, while a concealed crown keeps the 39mm case visually symmetrical.
The 316L steel case is 10.2mm thick, 45mm lug to lug and water-resistant to 50 metres beneath a domed sapphire crystal. A French-made France Ebauches FE automatic movement provides 46 hours of power reserve and is visible through the back. Each colour is limited to 888 pieces. The silver model is listed at €1,890 on its steel bracelet.
