The brand Herbelin was created in 1947 by Michel Herbelin in Charquemont, in the French Jura. First known under the name "Impec", a means of highlighting the high quality of its watches, it became an eponymous brand in 1965 as “Michel Herbelin”. With the ambition of restoring the nobility of French watchmaking, the brand is today recognized for the quality and resolutely contemporary style of its watches made in France.

All the watches are designed, assembled by hand and controlled in the Franche-Comté workshops with the same philosophy: to create timepieces at affordable prices designed to last while respecting artisanal know-how, while adding the French elegance. The range includes watches like the Herbelin Newport, Herbelin Inspiration, Herbelin Cap Camarat, Herbelin Odyssey or the Herbelin Trophy.

In the 1980s, Michel Herbelin retired and left the company in the hands of his son. It is only in 2020 that Pierre-Michel Herbelin will also give way to his young partners to continue the family adventure: Maxime Herbelin, Mathieu Herbelin, Cédric Gomez-Montiel and Benjamin Theurillat. The brand was rebranded as “Herbelin”.

How much does a Herbelin watch cost?

The price of Herbelin watches evolve and differ depending on the model. Most mechanical watches cost between € 1,000 and € 2,000 depending on the models and finishes. A Herbelin Cap Camarat Square Automatic is priced at 899 € while a Newport Carbon Titan costs € 1,999.

The brand Herbelin is owned by the holding company MH Dev and produces around 90,000 watches per year, all models combined. To choose a Herbelin that best suits you, Dialicious owners' reviews are a valuable resource for evaluating each of the different models through real customer experience.

French Sport-Chic watch: pure vibes, no frills.

4.2

A big fan of watches with integrated bracelets, I share with you my impressions of the Herbelin Cap Camarat Square in automatic version… A watch that smells good of sea trips in Brittany, aboard a Cap Camarat 750, for a ride in the sun or a wakeboarding expedition for teenagers. A watch with a sporty temperament, with its 39x39 mm square case directly inspired by shaped watches, one of the brand's specialties since its creation in 1947. The oldest among us still remember the references 676 or 2276, with their terr…

Pep, Fun and Perceived Quality...

I probably wouldn't have chosen this watch myself. Too colorful, too inspired... "Not my style," I would have thought. It was my wife who gave it to me for Christmas. She, who knows me so well, saw in this piece the fun side I wouldn't have dared to embrace. It was love at first sight, if not love at first sight. A closer look at it, you quickly notice that the case is unusual, finely crafted and angular, cleverly juxtaposing polished and brushed surfaces to limit scratches and play wonderfully with the light.

I always saw my father wearing a Herbelin Newport…

What a pleasure to explore the lineage of my father's model - reissued under the name Herbelin Originals - which seems to be completely opposed to the Newport Carbon Titanium, while it is a subtle and delicious blend of traditions and innovations, tinged with nostalgia and anticipation... ▶️ This Newport Carbon Titanium is the worthy heir to the collection, with its recognizable case, equipped with a single lug reminiscent, no doubt, of a porthole hinge of a sailing ship from a bygone era. This configuration is al…
