Lou HD "Marquise" Watch

The Watch

Humbert-Droz is a French watchmaking brand founded in 2016, crafting breathtaking timepieces defined by elegance, timelessness, and exceptional quality - the very DNA of the house. With ancestral expertise passed down and refined across four generations, it has swiftly become one of the most sought-after names in horology, beloved by collectors and watch enthusiasts alike. The brand expands its lineup today with the Lou HD collection - 100% feminine and modern, drawing inspiration from the iconic HD1. From this collection, the "Marquise" model in a full silver look is sure to capture your heart at first glance. A limited edition of 200 pieces, it is the timeless, elegant, and refined companion that will make you shine on every occasion, adding style and character to all your outfits. It features a cushion case crafted in 316L stainless steel with a 29 mm diameter and 9.40 mm thickness. With its brushed finish, it adds a striking touch of modernity to your wrist every day. Adorned with four visible screws, it is topped by a mineral crystal and houses a fluted, signed crown at 3 o'clock for setting the hours and minutes. On the back, the numbered caseback is screwed and transparent, providing 3 ATM water resistance while offering an admirable view of the movement.

The Dial

Combining elegance and simplicity, a round dial enhances the charm of this Marquise with a radiant, delicate touch. Its sunray and silver-toned base create a captivating contrast against the watch's understated style. Two grey baton-style hands sweep at its center to indicate the hours and minutes, pointing to twelve rectangular hour markers for easy time reading. Humbert-Droz signs the model just below 12 o'clock and places "Assembled in France" at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

The case houses a French-made manual-winding mechanical movement manufactured by France Ebauches. Owned by Marcel Humbert-Droz, the vintage caliber FE163 brings the hands to life, ensuring smooth and accurate timekeeping throughout the day.

The Strap

This watch comes with two stunning straps and a strap-changing tool so you can customize your timepiece in just a few moves. Both straps feature a lug width of 18 mm.

The first strap is crafted from stainless steel and features seven rows of finely refined links with a captivating design. Alternating between polished and brushed finishes, it delivers the perfect finishing touch of refinement and elegance to your look. Fitted with a steel deployant clasp, it offers exceptional all-day comfort and a guaranteed sport-chic attitude.

Stylish and on-trend, the second strap is crafted from calfskin leather and lends a vintage feel to the watch. Dressed in a refined black hue with a small French flag detail and tone-on-tone black topstitching, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit - a perfect blend of elegance and sophistication that elevates your wrist every day. Durable and sturdy, it keeps the watch securely and comfortably in place thanks to its steel pin buckle.

Water Resistance

This watch offers a water resistance of 3 atmospheres, or 30 m. It's a dress watch, not a diving companion! Perfect for turning heads at events and soirées, water is not its natural habitat. It can handle rain, splashes, or a bit of dishwater - but nothing more. We strongly advise against wearing it in the shower or bath, and even more so for swimming or diving.
