Michel Herbelin Inspiration 1947 Automatic Leather Strap Watch
Michel Herbelin founded his eponymous watch company in 1947 and this Inspiration 1947 Watch is based on one of his original designs. Updated in terms of specification, this is a beautifully made, modern watch with a retro feel.
Firstly, the sunray dial is in a rich, dark brown colour and is set with steel hour indexes. These are pointed in shape and give the watch a vintage look. Secondly, a white minute track ensures that the dial is easy to read. Furthermore, the hour and minute hands are sword-shaped to complement the hour markers. Additionally, a date indicator at 6 o’clock is a useful feature and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial.
The 40mm case in diameter and has a very classical feel with a rounded profile. Moreover, the retro look is carried through into the crown which is fluted and set with a blue cabochon stone. Finally, the strap is in brown leather and is deliberately plain with stitched sides and a stainless steel pin buckle.
Equipped with a reliable Swiss Sellita movement, the Herbelin Inspiration 1947 Automatic is also water resistant to 3 bars (30m). This is a handsome timepiece that you will enjoy for years to come. Presented in a beautiful wooden gift box, it is covered by a three year manufacturer’s warranty.

Regular contact
After purchasing a used SAR rescue timer, I required the additional rubber strap and matching clasp.
Found that Watch Specialist supplied them so was happy to order one from their nice website and they kept me up to date with a delivery time etc.
Would definitely recommend.
Very swift, efficient service and delivery.
Fantastic service, great communication can’t recommend enough.
I have now lost count of how many bespoke straps that I have purchased from Suzie…this is completely down to fantastic customer service and a quality of product that can’t be found elsewhere.
The straps are colour matched perfectly to my individual watches and are superbly executed in every detail.
Thanks again Suzie
