MICHEL HERBELIN – Inspiration 1947 Automatic Watch 1647/AP16BR

Michel Herbelin founded his eponymous watch company in 1947 and this handsome Herbelin Inspiration 1947 Automatic Watch is inspired by one of his original 1950’s designs. Updated in terms of specification, this is a beautifully made, modern watch with a retro feel.

The dial is striking in a deep, racing green colour and is set with steel hour indexes. These are pointed in shape and give the watch a vintage look. A date indicator at 6 o’clock is a useful feature and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial.

The retro look is carried through into the crown which is fluted and is set with a blue cabochon stone. The strap is in brown leather and is deliberately plain with stitched sides and a stainless steel pin buckle.

Equipped with a reliable Swiss Sellita movement, the Herbelin Inspiration 1947 Automatic is a handsome timepiece that will make those around you green with envy. For complete peace of mind, it is covered by a three year manufacturer’s warranty.
