The Watch

Reparalux, the renowned watchmaker repair atelier, has been crafting elegant, contemporary timepieces under the Humbert-Droz name since 2016. A synonym for perfection, precision, and quality, the brand continues to embody four generations of family watchmaking expertise through timeless masterpieces assembled by passionate, dedicated master watchmakers. Drawing on the iconic design of the HD1 collection, it now presents a dazzling selection of refined, sophisticated watches for women - including this charming Lou HD "Impératrice" model. Offered as a limited edition of 200 pieces, it elevates your entire wardrobe with an elegant, subtle flair. Comfortable and effortless to wear, the case features a delicate cushion shape, measuring 29 mm in diameter and 9.40 mm thick. Crafted in 316L stainless steel with a brushed finish, it makes a captivating impression on the wrist. Protected by a mineral crystal, it is enhanced by four visible screws and fitted with a knurled, signed crown on the right side for adjusting the hands. The watch, water resistant to 3 ATM, features a screw-down caseback. Numbered and transparent, it allows you to admire the fascinating inner workings of the movement.

The Dial

This charming Impératrice features a round dial that gives it a refined and exquisite subtlety. With a sunray finish, it is dressed in a dark gray with a smoky hue. It will catch the light beautifully on your wrist, lending an elegant, luminous touch to all your looks. At the center, two baton hands in yellow PVD steel sweep precisely to indicate the hours and minutes. Highlighted by the inscription "Assembled in France", the perimeter is marked by four rectangular gold-toned indexes at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock. The brand signs the dial by placing its name below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by a manual-winding mechanical movement of French manufacture. Designed by France Ebauches and held by Marcel Humbert-Droz, it is specifically the renowned FE163 caliber - celebrated for its outstanding quality and flawless performance - that drives the hands and delivers precise, reliable timekeeping.

The Strap

Go vintage or effortlessly casual with the two beautiful straps delivered with the watch, along with a strap-change tool. Both feature a lug width of 18 mm.

The first strap in calfskin leather is the perfect finishing touch, adding a chic and elegant note to all your outfits. In black, it is adorned with tone-on-tone topstitching and a small French flag detail for a distinctive, original look on the wrist. It pairs effortlessly with your wardrobe and fastens easily and smoothly with a steel pin buckle.

The second strap in stainless steel gives the watch a clean, understated look. It features seven rows of alternating links between brushed and polished finishes for a relaxed, modern aesthetic. It pairs with any outfit, adding just the right touch of elegance and refinement. A steel deployment clasp keeps it securely on your wrist while remaining easy to use.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 3 atmospheres, equivalent to 30 meters, this watch is not built for aquatic adventures. You can keep it on while washing your hands or handling light household tasks with water, but the Ocarat team strongly recommends leaving it on your nightstand before showering or bathing - and in the hotel safe before heading to the pool or the turquoise sea on your vacation.
