Chaumet is not a name that immediately conjures watches — founded in 1780 on Place Vendôme, the Parisian maison built its reputation over two centuries of haute joaillerie for royalty and aristocracy. Yet when Chaumet does turn its attention to watchmaking, the results are quietly remarkable. The ref. 12A, produced in the 1990s, is precisely that kind of piece: understated, beautifully resolved, and almost entirely under the radar.

The 36mm white gold case earns its "pebble" nickname honestly — its softly curved, tapered form has the organic quality of a stone worn smooth by a river, heavy and satisfying in the hand. Inside beats an ETA 2892-2, 21 jewels, with a signed white gold rotor. The white dial is a study in restraint: a single Roman numeral XII at 12 o'clock, blue baton indices on a peripheral railroad track, blued steel hands, and a discreet power reserve arc at 6 o'clock graduated 0-24-48 hours — the watch's only complication, delivered with perfect Parisian composure.

This example presents in very good condition, on its original bracelet with the original white gold buckle. The white gold version is considerably rarer than the yellow gold — a detail that won't be lost on those who know this reference.

Chaumet

Few names in French luxury carry the weight of Chaumet. Founded in Paris in 1780 by Marie-Étienne Nitot — jeweller to Napoleon Bonaparte himself — the house has been synonymous with the finest Place Vendôme craftsmanship for over two centuries. Nitot's intimate ties to the imperial court set the tone for everything that followed: precision, elegance, and an uncompromising approach to materials.
Watchmaking entered Chaumet's vocabulary as a natural extension of its jewellery expertise. The house has long understood that a watch worn by a Chaumet client must meet the same standard as a tiara or a diamond ring — which is why their timepieces have always leaned toward refinement over complication, beauty over technical showmanship.
Their most celebrated watch collections — Liens, Dandy, and Khésis among them — reflect this philosophy clearly. Cases are beautifully proportioned, dials conceived as jewellery pieces in their own right, and bracelet integration treated with the same attention given to a high jewellery setting.
Today, Chaumet remains one of the rare grandes maisons where watchmaking and jewellery are genuinely inseparable — a house where time, quite literally, is worn as art.
