Wristwatch, Men's, Michel Herbelin, and similar items

This beautiful Michel Herbelin watch came from a high-end watch store that sold French made watches exclusively. This store closed its doors more than 25 years ago, when the owner retired. The entire inventory was stored in sealed containers all these years! This time capsule of French watchmaking history presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of French watchmaking history. Rarity, Value, Customer Service: You will be hard pressed to find all of these ingredients anywhere else. Your new watch will come to you with a new battery installed, ready to wear and enjoy with pride. In 1947, a young clockmaker by the name of Michel Herbelin started his own watch brand in the small town of Charquemont, France. He did it with the ambitious goal of rising above the rest of the French watch making industry. And so, he did! Today some 67 years later the company is still run by the Herbelin family with three generations working side by side. Not so common in today’s world of huge multinational corporations. Michel Herbelin epitomizes high quality watch making and technical reliability with elegance and good design. Michel Herbelin is an international brand with two thirds of production sold in approximately 50 countries worldwide. The Michel Herbelin Co. was honored with the Watch Brand of the Year category at the UK Jewelry Awards in 2007.
