Saint Honoré is a French watch and jewellery brand that was founded in 1885 by Victorin Frésard. With company origins in the Doubs region of eastern France, its proximity to Switzerland inspired a mix of Parisian style and Swiss quality.
The brand currently resides under the Geneva Watch Group, which also produces Ducati Corse watches.
Paul Belmondo: Orsay Black Racing Chronograph
The Orsay Black Racing chronograph was developed in a partnership with brand ambassador and former Formula 1 driver Paul Belmondo, and first launched in 2005. Multiple variations have been released since. According to MasterHorologer.com, the Orsay Black Racing is inspired by cars from the 1970s.
