What is an Automatic Watch?
An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that winds itself, thanks to the movements of the wrist. At its heart, an oscillating weight rotates with each movement, recharging a spring that powers the mechanism.
No battery is required: it is brought to life by the body's natural movements.
Inside, a high-precision caliber orchestrates each second with fascinating regularity. It's a fine mechanism, designed to last and meticulously adjusted.
Whether designed for men or women, automatic models are as appealing for their autonomous operation as for their aesthetics. Between timeless classicism and contemporary lines, automatic watches embody a certain idea of luxury: discreet, reliable, and vibrant.
What are the advantages of an automatic watch?
Decidedly durable accessories, HERBELIN automatic watches operate without batteries or electronic components. They can be wound at the rhythm of the wrist, or manually, and their power reserve can reach up to 62 hours. When well maintained, they stand the test of time. Even after several decades, a simple service is enough to bring them back to life.
Some cross generations, passed down as heirlooms. Others mark a moment in time—a birthday, a wedding, an achievement.
Automatic watches combine elegance with technical precision, sometimes enhanced with watchmaking complications: chronograph, moon phase, extended power reserve.
Because they do not generate any electronic waste, they are part of an eco-responsible approach.
Each automatic watch tells a story, sometimes intimate, always precious.
