Michel Herbelin Newport
70 years ago Michel Herbelin founded his watch company, he combined high quality watch making and technical reliability with elegance and good design to create the world renowned brand we all know and love. It was in fact in 1972 when the son of the founder actually joined the company his name was Jean – Claude Herbelin. With his professional team of horology experts he decided to take a gable on a brand new marketing approach in which Michel Herbelin improved the the creativity of the brand and proposed to position their high quality watches in the mid to upper demographic of the watches market.
The brand has a stunning collection called the ‘Newport‘ collection which you can view here. The brand have now announced that they are extending their Michel Herbelin Newport collection adding four new models variations. The watch which is made in France draws its design inspiration from the beautiful original, its kept its stainless steel case with a diameter of 41.5 mm and still has sapphire crystal glass however there is a major difference… this is actually a smartwatch. That’s right we said it the watch has smart capabilities.
For the regular readers of our blog you will remember that we blogged a sneak peak about this watch last week when Michel Herbelins Magali Smith and Cedric Gomez-Montiel came to visit our store! Monsieur Gomez-Montiel was wearing one of these amazing watches and we just had to ask about it!
The watch features a single dial for simplicity and the inner ring represents the percentage of the objectives set within the application. It has four settings situated on the dial of the watch which are; Activity, Sleep, Notifications and Phone and pressing the crown allows you to cycle through these as required. It also comes with a silicone dark grey strap which is perfect for exercising in due to its light weight and gripping surface properties.
The models as you have probably seen in the slider at the top have a range of colour variations and straps to suite your individual style… So what are you waiting for Pre-order today!
