Quality standards, independence, humanity and elegance are the values on which HERBELIN is based. This makes the company an exception on the French watch market.

For over 75 years now, the company has been based in Charquemont in the French mountain region of Haut-Doubs, just a few kilometers from the Swiss border.

Our small village in the Jura can look back on an important watchmaking tradition and was home to more than 30 watch companies over 50 years ago.

Today, however, you can count them on one hand!

Indeed, in view of the increasingly competitive watch market, it would have been tempting to outsource our production.

However, we have made a conscious decision to remain in France. By staying true to our roots, we can rely on long-standing and highly qualified employees who are passionate about passing on their skills, knowledge and passion to future generations.

They also take a strong emotional interest in our history and are an integral part of the life and development of our company.

In addition, our proximity to our most important suppliers in the heart of the Haute Horlogerie region means that we have 100% control over our production.

We only use Swiss movements for our watches, which we enhance with the luxury and elegance of the French way of life. We assemble and repair all our models in our workshops in Charquemont – an immense advantage in terms of quality and customer service.

Since its creation in 1947, the history of the HERBELIN brand has successfully grown around people and family, always inspired by a passion for watchmaking and the desire to give traditional French watchmaking the honor it deserves.

In 2017, we celebrated our 70th anniversary with HERBELIN. These seven decades of successful company history fill our entire team with great pride and we would like to thank our customers for their trust.

To date, we have created many expressive collections. HERBELIN achieved its international breakthrough over 30 years ago with the “Newport” line, which was born out of the Herbelin family’s passion for sailing.
