The Newport Connect is a marvel of technology, presented in a watch case inspired by Michel Herbelin’s iconic collection, Newport.
This watch features a classic analogue dial while also integrating smart functions: call indicator (at 2 o’clock), notifications (at 10 o’clock), activity tracker (at 8 o’clock) and sleep analysis (at 4 o’clock).
Indicated by the hands and a vibration mode, these functions are easy to use: the transition from a smart functionality to the analogue time display is made by simply pressing on the crown.
The Newport Connect nonetheless retains all the soul of a true French piece of watchmaking, thanks to its design and the quality of its components.
A bezel punctuated by four screws enhances the rose gold PVD case with its deep black dial. Optimal readability is ensured by hands coated in luminescent material, circling around the baton hour markers and impressive Arabic numerals.
This connected watch by Michel Herbelin is designed with anthracite grey stainless steel horns and a rubber strap – a material that offers good resistance and is comfortable to wear and touch, in addition to bringing a modern edge to this distinguished timepiece.
