This Michel Herbelin watch is fitted with a manually wound mechanical movement, whose workings can be admired through its transparent caseback. Its softly rounded 40 mm diameter case provides a distinctly vintage feel. The silvered white and curved dial sets off its gilded hands and hour markers, giving this watch a refined elegance.
With a discreet date aperture set at three o’clock, the dial gains a dynamic energy from the small seconds counter that brings a contemporary touch to the whole.
This piece is finished with a ribbed, ball-shaped crown set with a blue cabochon, and paired with an alligator-printed brown leather strap. A gem of watchmaking art, the Inspiration 1947 watch was designed and assembled in France at the Michel Herbelin studios.
