Vintage Michel Herbelin Paris Celtic 17014 Ladies Cable Bangle Watch Gold Plated

About this watch

A refined ladies' watch from Michel Herbelin's Celtic collection. The small rectangular gold-plated case frames a silvered dial with a fine vertical ribbed pattern, a gold Roman XII, small dot markers and gold leaf hands, signed Michel Herbelin Paris.

The highlight is the two-tone bangle: twisted stainless-steel cables flank a gold-plated central bar, held by ribbed gold-plated fittings and closing with a fold-over clasp. The caseback is signed Michel Herbelin Paris, 17014.B, Made in France, Swiss Movt.

Brand heritage

Michel Herbelin founded his watch company in 1947 in Charquemont, in the French Jura mountains near the Swiss border, assembling his first watches at home with the help of his wife Jeanne. The company has remained in the hands of the Herbelin family for three generations and still designs and finishes its watches in Charquemont, combining French design with Swiss movements.
