As well as a name and a brand, Michel Herbelin is also a durable and reliable
design and quality: a brand which represents 30% of the French watchmaking
market within this price range.
In a field of watchmaking Michel Herbelin offers exceptional quality. We have
been established in Charquemont, in Haut-Doubs, on the Swiss border for more
than 60 years. It is a small town with a strong watchmaking tradition where only
50 years ago there were no less than 30 watchmaking businesses. Today, only a
few continue to uphold the watchmaking tradition.
Clearly, in a highly keen and competitive market it might have been tempting to
relocate our manufacturing facilities.
Our decision to stay in France, however, has endowed our company with
unquestionable advantages. Remaining faithful to our origins has rewarded us
with long-standing, highly qualified employees with an interest in the history of
our company. They are each other’s lifeblood. Our staff are keen to train new
arrivals and to pass on to them their passion and their knowledge in order to
sustain the development of Michel Herbelin.
These people have a sentimental bond with our history and are the beating heart
of the company.
We make and repair all our products ourselves which gives us an unrivalled
advantage in terms of quality and service over our competitors who subcontract
their production primarily to the Far East.
Michel Herbelin uses only Swiss movements in their timepieces to which they
then add the luxury and the refinement of French art de vivre.

Watchmaking

which became a
global luxury brand
SETTING FOOT IN MICHEL HERBELIN IS
LIKE STEPPING INTO A FAMILY HISTORY.
IT IS DISCOVERING AND UNDERSTANDING
A PASSION WHICH HAS INSPIRED THREE
GENERATIONS SINCE 1947.
AN INDEPENDENT, FAMILY-RUN,
TRADITIONAL FRENCH WATCHMAKING
COMPANY, MICHEL HERBELIN IS UNIQUE
IN THE WATCHMAKING INDUSTRY. ITS
HISTORY BEGAN IN CHARQUEMONT, IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF HAUT-DOUBS ON THE
FRANCO-SWISS BORDER 65 YEARS AGO...

When the hands of luxury watchmaking were made in France
A post second world war export boom in the watchmaking industry led often to the erosion of
quality. Michel Herbelin, a shopkeeper’s son, had a passion for watchmaking. He decided to
embark upon further studies and to abandon his parents’ plan for taking over the family business.
After a few years spent working as a foreman for a local company, whose quality of workmanship
was not up to his standards, he refused to carry on working in these conditions, aspiring to
restore prestige to traditional French watchmaking. Michel Herbelin started out with vigour and
enthusiasm by setting up his own, eponymous business. He wanted to build his business on
strong, distinctive values which his staff could share and aspire to: creativity, high quality, humanity,
stylishness, and rigorous management. Michel Herbelin soon acquired a reputation for his
universally applied high standards.
By way of an anecdote, the first watches to be sold were named “impec”, the founder’s way of
promoting their impeccable quality and reliability. It was the beginning of the Michel Herbelin story
or of that of timepieces made in France.
65 years of Heritage
65 years on the clock: it’s a great anniversary for a company that has been crowned with some
great successes, and is still supported by the Herbelin family, which continues the tradition and
is involved in the company’s development. This development is guided by family values and a
passion for traditional watchmaking.
Michel Herbelin, who is now retired, has passed on his passion and the brand to his sons
Pierre-Michel, the Chairman of the company, and Jean-Claude, its CEO. 65 years later, the 3rd
generation is now also represented in the company, since two of Michel’s grandchildren have
started working in its marketing department.
THE WHEELS
OF MICHEL HERBELIN
Over 10 million watches produced since 1947
80 employees
3,000 outlets in 50 countries
500 watches produced in France every day
The Herbelin Story
and its high points
The Fifties/Sixties
Michel Herbelin became
known as THE French
specialist in mechanical
watches. His name became
a brand synonymous with
technical prowess, high quality
and precision. The first Michel
Herbelin logo was created
in 1965.
1987 Birth of the first
Newport watch
The Herbelins’ passion for the maritime
world, its seascapes and sailing ships,
came to life through the creation of the
Newport range.
This elegant, sporty collection drew attention because of its
unusual design, which is characterised by its central strap
attachment. Several different variations followed: ladies’,
men’s, quartz, automatic... Today it is still highly successful
with customers. It has become the brand’s flagship product.
The Seventies
Jean-Claude Herbelin joined the
company. His eye for aesthetics
enabled the business to make
considerable progress on the
world market. The brand began
to distinguish itself and to flourish,
particularly with its subtly designed
quartz watches. It was one of the
pioneers of the dress watch.
The Scandinavian range was one of the first in the
category of “jewellery” creations by Jean-Claude.
The following anecdote recounts one of the great
successes of the company: Tommy Nilson, a young
Swedish novice watchmaker went to Bijorhca, in
Paris, a trade fair which was normally reserved for
French jewellers. His appearance did nothing to
portray his talents as a businessman. Appearances
can sometimes be deceptive. He decided to establish
the brand in Sweden by opening the “Tic Tac Tommy”
shop in Göteborg. It was an instant success. Extremely
fashionable, the models of the Scandinavian range
were in great demand: the fashion-conscious all wore a
Michel Herbelin watch with a solid strap. They became
famous throughout the whole of Scandinavia and
beyond: in Germany, in the United Kingdom and in
Switzerland.
The Eighties
Jean-Claude Herbelin succeeded his
father at the head of the company.
Pierre-Michel, his brother, came
to join him then, to be responsible
for the technical aspects as well as
production.
10
The Nineties
Constructed a hundred metres from the family home, where
the first workshops were housed the factory, built in 1977,
tripled in size.
The Beginning of the 21st Century
Launch of the Newport J-Class range. The different models
proposed were equipped with automatic movements,
fashioned by hand with casings and bands in stainless steel
and gold. Accompanying this collection, the Newport Royale
range aimed particularly at women, with its finish in stainless
steel gold and diamonds.
2008
The brand launched the Newport Trophy Grand Sport
range, solid yet elegant,
designed to withstand
extreme conditions.
Today
For its 65 years of history, the Michel Herbelin watches logo
is changing. The famous name which has been at the root of
the brand’s history and success will now be complemented
by a logo where the brand’s initials melt into each other
and create a symbol of precision. The watch collections are
also changing for the Newport Yacht Club, Interchangeable
Antares, Ladies’ or even Classic ranges, which have all
contributed to the international glory and renown of the
Michel Herbelin brand. This is a key moment for Michel
Herbelin watches, and it will be commemorated by some
beautiful projects which are currently being prepared in the
Charquemont workshops which will soon be unveiled...
