Introducing the Beaubleu Ecce Vesperal: Brutalist Elegance, Parisian Heart
Beaubleu is back at it again, serving up another slice of Parisian wrist-candy — this time in the form of the Ecce Vesperal, a watch that looks like someone took minimalism, dipped it in poetry, and then sharpened all the edges.
This is the brand’s first permanent model in their Ecce collection, and honestly, it shows. It’s refined, sculptural, and very clearly designed by someone who stares at architecture for fun.
A Dial with Drama
The dial is where all the magic happens. Instead of going for a plain, flat face like so many brands phoning it in these days, Beaubleu bevels the whole thing. The result? Angles that catch the light like a moody French film protagonist. As your wrist moves, shadows shift, highlights glow, and a thin blue border quietly peeks through — like a little Easter egg for people who actually pay attention.
The Beaubleu Signature
And yes, because this is Beaubleu, there’s the trademark circular second hand tracing the dial like it’s drawing calligraphy on your behalf. It’s subtle, elegant, and a very polite reminder that you absolutely do not own enough Parisian things.
Case, Crystal, Comfort
The watch comes in at 39mm, that sweet spot where it works on 90% of wrists without complaint. The 316L steel case is sleek but sturdy, topped with a domed sapphire crystal because nothing says “I’m sophisticated” quite like domed sapphire.
Flip it over and you’ve got an exhibition caseback, revealing the Miyota 9015 ticking away — a reliable, accurate, well-loved automatic movement that won’t throw a tantrum if you forget to wear the watch for a day or two.

Winding Things Up
The Ecce Vesperal is a watch you buy because you appreciate detail — not the shouty kind, but the quietly confident kind. It’s sculpted, architectural, and undeniably Parisian without falling into cliché. Beaubleu once again delivers a piece that feels both familiar and fresh, and frankly, we’re here for it.
If you want something that stands out without screaming, this is the one.
