Jean Lassale was a Swiss watch brand specializing in ultra-thin watches. It was founded in 1974 by Jean Bouchet-Lassale in Geneva. Initially, the brand produced fashion watches, jewelry watches and other models before focusing on ultra-thin watches.

In 1976, Jean Lassale presented the world's thinnest movement, the Cal. 1200 hand-wound movement and the Cal. 2000 automatic movement, at the Basel trade fair. These watches attracted a lot of attention, even though they came onto the market at the time of the advent of quartz watches.

The company produced both mechanical and quartz watches and manufactured ultra-thin movements, which were later taken over by Nouvelle Lemania and Piaget.

In the 1980s, Lassale switched completely to quartz movements, which were produced in collaboration with Seiko. The company was eventually acquired by Seiko in 1979 and continued as Seiko Lassale. Later, Seiko introduced the quartz watch line "Seiko Lassale", which was sold under the brand name Jean Lassale or Lassale.

The brand was relaunched in 1990 and brought new models onto the market. Later, an ultra-thin mechanical watch with a skeletonized Swiss movement was even reintroduced.

Seiko produced Lassale watches entirely in Japan, while the design was similar to the earlier Swiss products. In the 1990s, Seiko tried to compete with the elite Swiss manufacturers by introducing Lassale as a high-end brand, but with cheaper movements.

Lassale is best known for its flat Caliber 1200, which was designed by Pierre Mathys and was considered the flattest movement in the world. This movement was acquired by Seiko and later used by Nouvelle Lemania and Piaget. It was characterized by the assembly of all moving parts on one side and used microscopic ball bearings instead of pivots.

The Lassale brand was discontinued in the 2000s.
