Michel Herbelin Art Deco Gold Quartz 17478BP22, Silver with Arabic Numerals

Michel Herbelin Art Deco Gold Quartz 17478BP22 – Silver-brushed finish with geometric elegance

In the subdued shadows of 1920s Parisian salons, where Art Deco redefined luxury with boldness and pure geometry, lies the refined essence of the Art Deco Quartz Doré 17478BP22. Inspired by Michel Herbelin’s early creations, this model—with its understated and refined design—adds a touch of modernity with its vertically brushed silver dial and elegant Arabic numerals. Carrying on the Jura region’s watchmaking heritage since 1947, this ladies’ watch transcends the decades like a geometric motif etched into history. Its 20.3 x 24.4 mm rectangular case, crafted from 316L stainless steel with a yellow gold PVD coating, features clean lines and a 16 mm lug-to-lug width, evoking the iconic silhouette of an Art Deco jewel: bold, minimalist, ready to capture life’s fleeting moments with a delicacy that hugs the feminine wrist like a call to timeless sophistication.

At the heart of this geometric timepiece, a vertically brushed silver dial displays a subtle satin finish, reminiscent of the reflections of an urban skyline in subdued light, punctuated by rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and hands that trace their path with poetic precision—hours and minutes only, for absolute purity without a superfluous date display. Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, Caliber 751 (5½ lignes), it offers unwavering reliability and a serene ticking that marks the passage of social evenings or moments of contemplation, paying homage to the fierce independence of the Herbelin house, rooted in Charquemont since 1947.

An embrace of gilded steel, weathered by the flames of Art Deco

The 316L stainless steel bracelet, treated with yellow gold PVD and hand-stitched with artisanal precision, wraps around the wrist like the curves of a Art Deco piece of furniture—supple, luminous, and weighing just 66 g for a light and sophisticated presence. This timepiece for women (or for the refined soul who transcends gender) combines everyday comfort with urban durability, featuring a folding clasp for a flawless and secure fit. Water-resistant to 50 m, it withstands Parisian downpours, champagne splashes, or quick showers, staying true to the Art Deco spirit of the collection. The domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal adds a touch of artisanal authenticity. Crafted in Charquemont, the Franche-Comté cradle of French watchmaking, it bears the mark of a passionate, 100% French, and independent family, where every silver-brushed finish and every yellow gold PVD coating whispers a story of geometry and heritage.
