Galet automatic
A Watchmaking Jewel
Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2022, the French watchmaking house HERBELIN launches a new collection, conceived and designed exclusively for women. Named Galet in reference to its inspiration, it unveils this first model, characterized by its perfect roundness and animated by an automatic movement. Balancing classicism and modernity, this watch is a guaranteed winner in an irresistible display of charm.
A Timeless Jewel Case
Evoking the smooth, rounded form of a galet shaped by the gentle flow of water along the shore or in riverbeds, the case in Steel polished reveals a silhouette full of curves, orchestrated by a curve subtly housed within a 33.55 mm diameter. Enhanced by a domed sapphire crystal on both sides, this elegance extends to the dial in white mother-of-pearl that is truly exquisite. Gleaming under the light, it prioritizes understated distinction. At its center, a raised silver-toned circle accentuates the overall roundness. Delicately positioned around the perimeter, zircon indices, subtly interspersed with polished applied Roman numerals, animate the blued steel hour and minute hands, driven by a black lacquered sweep seconds hand. The fluted crown, adorned with a blue onyx, also plays with luxurious detail, as does the date window at 6 o'clock.
An automatic movement
In turn, embracing a voluptuous form, the polished steel bracelet delicately encircles the wrist, offering a wear that is both chic and comfortable. Exuding sensual elegance, this feminine timepiece is powered by a Swiss-made mechanical automatic movement. A testament to proven precision and reliability, it boasts a 38-hour power reserve. Connoisseurs of fine mechanics will undoubtedly appreciate its artistry.
Made in France – meticulously designed, conceived, assembled, adjusted, and controlled within the HERBELIN workshops nestled in the Jura Mountains of Franche-Comté – this timepiece embodies a traditional French watchmaking savoir-faire passed down through three generations. A true tribute to femininity, it once again illustrates the esteemed position held by the Maison.
