Carrying on a family legacy of ingenuity passed down through four generations, every watch is crafted with passion and meticulous attention to detail - built to accompany you reliably and stylishly through everyday adventures. From the HD8 collection, the Annapurna watch embodies the brand's core values: French elegance, clean design, and uncompromising quality. Limited to just 100 pieces, it will become your go-to for effortlessly showcasing the style and character of the modern man. The watch features a round stainless steel case with a titanium PVD finish, measuring 41 mm in diameter and 10.60 mm thick. A ridged, signed crown on the right side allows manual adjustment of the hands and date window at any time. A sapphire crystal covers the dial, protecting it from everyday impacts and scratches. Finally, the numbered caseback is screwed and transparent, providing a mesmerizing view of the movement while ensuring a 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

The round, grey dial brings a refined, delicate touch to the watch while reinforcing its modern spirit. Its sunray finish is set off by an captivating graphic design that makes this dial truly distinctive. At the center, two rhodium-plated dauphine hands coated with luminova sweep smoothly alongside a slender seconds hand. All three indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. Around the perimeter - marked with the inscription "Assembled in France" - a discreet minute track is set. The hours are marked by six even indexes in grey Arabic numerals and six odd baton indexes in grey. The 3 o'clock index is flanked on the left by a date window with a black background. Finally, Humbert-Droz places its signature at 12 o'clock and indicates the movement type and power reserve at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

The case houses an automatic movement made by Swiss manufacturer La Joux-Perret and assembled in-house at the brand's Besançon workshop. Specifically, it is the G100 caliber with NAC finishing, recognized for its high quality and outstanding performance. Equipped with 24 jewels and beating at 4 Hz - 28,800 vph - it brings the hands and date window to life and delivers a 68-hour power reserve. Your reading of hours, minutes, seconds, and date will be precise and reliable in any situation.

The Strap

This watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet coated with a titanium PVD treatment, adding bold character to your look while elegantly adorning your wrist. It is composed of five rows of links with two narrower rows for a more refined, modern finish. Comfortable and durable, it's a perfect companion for every occasion. With a 20 mm lug width, it fastens quickly and securely with a titanium PVD deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch takes its first steps into the world of water resistance. While it is not designed for bathing, lap swimming, or diving, you can safely forget to take it off in the shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry to preserve its mechanism for years to come.
