Inspiration Watch 12747PR11GD

The Watch

Michel Herbelin introduces the rose gold 12747PR11GD as part of its latest collection, Inspiration. This model captivates fans of the watchmaker by seamlessly blending the brand's vintage heritage with one of today's most coveted dial colors: rose gold. A benchmark for quality, Michel Herbelin subjects every piece to a rigorous series of checks before it reaches its new owner. The meticulously inspected case measures 38 millimeters in diameter and is crafted entirely from 316L stainless steel. Its sapphire crystal - another mark of quality - protects the prized white dial, which features a crown set on the bezel at 3 o'clock. This luminous timepiece is sure to bring a touch of brilliance to every wrist it graces.

The Dial

A natural light reflector, this round dial with a white background pairs beautifully with the brown leather strap that wraps around either side of the case. Time is easy to read thanks to hour markers rendered as applied indices and Arabic numerals. This model also impresses with its three subdials: positioned at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock, they display the date, moon phase, and day, respectively. The three hands at the center of this timepiece indicate the time with precision, aided by a minute track with gilt inscriptions that adds a refined finishing touch. The brand signs its work at 12 o'clock and places "France" at 6 o'clock - a proud nod to its French craftsmanship.

The Movement

Powering this quality-driven, made in France timepiece is a Swiss movement. The Ronda 706.1 caliber delivers precise timekeeping and drives the watch's various subdials.

The Strap

Among the quality components that make up this timepiece, the brown leather strap stands out for the character it brings to the wrist. Elegant and refined, it features beige topstitching that pairs beautifully with the on-trend rose gold dial. It fastens with a classic pin buckle.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 30 meters, or 3 atmospheres in watchmaking terms, this watch is no water enthusiast. Water is its delicate mechanism's worst enemy, and our team strongly recommends keeping it dry. It can handle a little rain or the occasional dishwashing session, but skip the shower, the bath, the pool, and anything deeper. This one is happiest on dry land.
