Watches assembled with Jaguar E-Type parts

E-TYPE COLLECTION

ENGLISH ELEGANCE

Discover our watches inspired by the Jaguar E-type and immerse yourself in a world that unites watchmaking and the classic automobile.

Discover the world of Atelier Jalaper, where classic motoring meets traditional watchmaking. 

Our third collection of watches, dedicated to the Jaguar E-Type, embodies the spirit and heritage of this automotive icon. The aluminium dials are cut from the bonnet of a Jaguar E-Type Semi-Lightweight Serie 1 3.8L and every detail, carefully crafted to celebrate the essence of the E-Type, reflects our passion for exceptional cars and our commitment to watchmaking craftsmanship.

THE JAGUAR E-TYPE

Synonymous with elegance, performance, and innovation, the Jaguar E-Type is one of the most legendary cars ever created. Produced between 1961 and 1975, its revolutionary design and breathtaking speed quickly cemented its status as an icon. A perfect blend of beauty and engineering prowess, it captured the spirit of its time and remains a timeless source of inspiration. Enzo Ferrari himself once called it "the most beautiful car ever made," a testament to its unmatched allure.

Inspired by the ultra-exclusive Lightweight models—of which only 12 were ever produced—the Semi-Lightweight versions retained the E-Type’s signature elegance while integrating key racing improvements. With aluminum panels, a reinforced chassis, and a high-performance 3.8L engine, these cars offered enhanced agility and power on the track. Bridging the gap between road and competition, the Semi-Lightweight E-Types remain a testament to Jaguar’s dedication to both performance and style, making them highly prized among collectors and enthusiasts alike.


THE COLLECTION

We have designed this collection with the aim of allowing you to own a fragment of the so-called most beautiful car ever made. The dial of the Aj-003 watches has been taken from one of the aluminium plates that make up the bonnet of an authentic Jaguar E-Type Semi-Lightweight, which won the French Tour Auto 2020. Each element of the watch is carefully crafted to reflect the inimitable allure and cachet of this car.

The unique patina of the dials is a constant reminder of their provenance and of the technical feat achieved to enable the bonnet to be integrated into a timepiece, and the curves of the case evoke the roundness and crazy elegance of the Jaguar E-Type. 

For our third model, we set out to create a timepiece that embodies the essence of classic watchmaking. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Jaguar E-Type, we crafted a watch that is slim, classy, innovative, and undeniably chic. This elegant timepiece captures the timeless appeal of its automotive muse, blending sophistication with cutting-edge horological design.

We are proud to announce that this model has achieved COSC certification, a prestigious Swiss designation that attests to its exceptional precision. This coveted certification is a testament to our commitment to excellence and was made possible by our careful selection of the Sellita SW-300-1-b Swiss automatic movement. This high-quality movement not only ensures remarkable accuracy but also embodies the finest traditions of Swiss watchmaking.

Our third model represents the perfect fusion of classic aesthetics and modern performance, offering watch enthusiasts a timepiece that is as reliable as it is refined. With its COSC certification and inspired design, this watch is set to become a true collector's item for those who appreciate both style and substance in their horological investments.

Limited Edition 150/600 arrived today less than 48 hours from order (even clearing EU-UK customs just before Xmas - not so easy after Brexit!). High quality unique watch which delivers it’s promise and more. Arrived with a complimentary travel case and spare strap - not expected and a nice added surprise.

Thank you to Simon for his easy online chat - so important that you can have direct contact with one of the founders in this highly competitive market. They have already built a great brand and I look forward to future products.

After chatting on their website with Atelier Jalaper, whose communication was perfect, I took the plunge! I was able to buy myself an AJ-002-S! The best part is that someone calls you to find out if you want a more or less marked dial. Then the delivery is super fast, received in 2 days.

Then comes the most important part: discovering the packaging. It's an absolute success, with a beautiful box enveloping the watch case itself, the card holder for the certificate of authenticity, and above all, it smells of leather! A fine example of French craftsmanship.

Opening the box reveals this magnificent watch, whose quality is immediately apparent, both to the eye and to the touch.

With all that in mind, I can't wait to find out what's next, and I wish Atelier Jalaper all the best for the future!

Very recent owner of an AJ001-S: sport-chic watch faithful to what I had identified on the internet, fan of the exclusive aspect linked to the numbering of the watch and the unique character of the patina (and yes, when you have a cool concept...), VERY good quality packaging (almost astonishing for an 800€ watch, especially as the watch comes with a travel case that seems to be of very good quality) and a special mention for the speed of delivery (ordered on Sunday morning, email contact on Monday morning to choose the watch, DHL delivery on Tuesday morning: not even 48 hours between order and receipt). What do people expect? I hope it ages well.

I've been the proud owner of an AJ002-B for several weeks now and I'm so happy with it! The world created by Atelier Jalaper around classic cars is unique and above all very well done 😍 I wear my watch almost every day and I can't wait to discover the next models... So many legendary cars deserve to be honoured... Congratulations again to Louis and Simon for their welcome and their advice 💪🏼

Watch arrived on Christmas Eve and I was very happy once unboxed. Very sleek packaging and the timepiece itself is amazing. The natural patina on the dial is incredible. The timepiece speaks for itself. Sleek and Sharp!
