Herbelin Galet Automatic silver dial two-tone steel bracelet 33,5 mm

Galet: A watchmaking jewel

Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2022, the French watchmaking house HERBELIN is launching a new collection, conceived and designed exclusively for the female gender. Named Galet in reference to its source of inspiration, it unveils this first all-round model, powered by an automatic movement. Oscillating between classicism and modernity, this watch goes out a winner in an irresistible charm offensive.

A timeless display

Like a rounded pebble smoothed by the movement of water on the seashore or in a stream bed, the polished steel case with yellow gold PDV bezel reveals a curvaceous silhouette, orchestrated by a subtle curve in a 33.55 mm diameter. Supported by a sapphire crystal domed on both sides, this softness extends to the guilloché white-silver dial. Shimmering in the light, it is discreetly distinguished. At its center, a silver circle in relief underlines the roundness of the whole. Delicately positioned around the perimeter, baton hour markers, subtly interspersed with polished applied Roman numerals, animate the gilded steel hour and minute hands, to the rhythm of a yellow gold PDV second hand. The fluted crown, adorned with a black cabochon, also plays up the luxury of detail, as does the date window at 6 o'clock.

An automatic heart

Conjugating, in turn, a voluptuousness of form, the polished steel and yellow gold PVD bracelet wraps delicately around the wrist, offering a wear that's both chic and comfortable. With its sensual elegance, this feminine timepiece is brought to life by a Swiss-made self-winding mechanical movement. A guarantee of precision and proven reliability, it boasts a 38-hour power reserve. Aesthetes of fine mechanics will appreciate.

Made in France for having been designed, conceived, assembled, adjusted and controlled in the HERBELIN workshops located in the Jura mountains of Franche-Comté, this watch inherits traditional French watchmaking know-how handed down from father to son for three generations. A true dedication to femininity, it illustrates, once again, the place of choice accorded by the company
