The Octogone has been a quiet fixture in Herbelin's catalogue for decades, its eight-sided case sitting at the point where jewellery-making habits and watchmaking meet. This version carries that brief faithfully: the case runs to 20.4mm by 26.4mm, a shape that reads more as an oval at a glance than as a strict polygon, and at that scale it settles on the wrist as an accessory first. The mother-of-pearl dial shifts with the light in the way that stone does rather than the way lacquer does — the surface has depth rather than brightness, and the rose gold surround draws it warm. The chevron-patterned bracelet is the detail that rewards a second look, giving the piece a textile quality that a plain-linked alternative would not.

Learn more about Michel Herbelin
Michel Herbelin founded his workshop in 1947 at Charquemont, a village in the French Jura a few miles from the Swiss border, in a region that had made watch parts for generations. The company is still run by his descendants and still assembles in Charquemont, which makes it one of the few French watch brands of any age to have stayed independent.
The Newport, introduced in the late 1980s and named after the Rhode Island sailing town, is what most people know it for: a nautical-styled watch with a distinctive articulated bracelet. It has been in the range ever since and accounts for a large share of what the company sells.

Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
