The City line is Michel Herbelin's argument for the dressed watch stripped of ceremony — clean architecture, no unnecessary complication, the kind of piece that works against a collar without demanding attention. This reference brings a sunray green dial into that framework, a colour that shifts between deep forest and something closer to teal depending on what the light is doing, and that reads quite differently from the navy blues that dominate this corner of the market. At 39mm on a mesh bracelet with a folding clasp, it sits close to the wrist and moves with it in a way a solid-link bracelet does not. The date sits without drama. Nothing on the dial shouts, which is the whole achievement — the green does the work that a busier watch would hand to complications.

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.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 38.7mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
