Since 1947, Michel Herbelin has been crafting exceptional watches in Charquemont, in the Doubs region, that embody the finest of French watchmaking expertise. This meticulous yet accessible artisanal craftsmanship has made Herbelin a benchmark of French-style “neo-luxury”—a far cry from the exclusive codes of Swiss haute horlogerie.
An official retailer since 1968, the Club de la Montre in Lectoure selects the most iconic models from each collection for you: Newport, Cap Camarat, Classique, Art Déco, City, and V Avenue.
Here's our complete guide to choosing your Herbelin—and why not treat yourself to a little piece of France on your wrist?
Newport: The Herbelin Icon
Since 1947 · The Iconic Collection
Newport embodies Herbelin's DNA: a sporty-chic brushed-steel case, instantly recognizable tapered lugs, and a lightness on the wrist unlike anything else. Born in the 1970s with the spirit of sailing and the open sea, it is now available in automatic, chronograph, and diver’s versions—without ever compromising its original elegance.
Cap Camarat: Sports & Elegance
The Spirit of the Sea, the Soul of France
Named in honor of the famous Cap Camarat in the Var region, the Cap Camarat stands out for its signature square case—a silhouette that is instantly recognizable among all French sports watches. Water-resistant and available in an automatic version, it combines maritime ruggedness with the refined finishes befitting a dress watch.
Classic & Art Deco: Timeless Elegance
French-style sophistication
When Herbelin designs its watches, it does so with the understated elegance characteristic of the great French houses: minimalist dials, hand-stitched leather straps, and round or barrel-shaped cases with perfectly balanced proportions. The Classique collection and the Art Deco line are designed for those who prefer discretion to ostentation—a luxury that doesn’t shout its name.
City & V Avenue: Modernity in Everyday Life
Lightweight, versatile, and designed to accompany you every day without ever fading into the background, Herbelin’s City and V Avenue collections are the perfect introduction to the brand’s world. Contemporary dials, Milanese mesh or leather straps, and bold colors—blue, green, mother-of-pearl—create a watch that says something about you at first glance.
