French watchmaking · Since 1947
A brief history of Michel Herbelin
Michel Herbelin began making watches in Charquemont, France, in 1947. His early pieces carried the name Impec, and the business later adopted his own name. The company developed as a family watchmaker, with design and assembly rooted in the French Jura.
The nautical Newport collection arrived in 1988, followed by Antarès and its interchangeable strap system in 2006. The shorter HERBELIN name introduced in 2022 continues the story of the same watchmaking house.

Michel Herbelin watch repair FAQs
Do you repair older Michel Herbelin and newer HERBELIN watches?
We assess both older Michel Herbelin watches and models carrying the newer HERBELIN name. Battery, movement and case work depend on the individual model. For Newport or Antarès watches, we also check the case fittings and any model-specific strap attachments before recommending replacement parts.
How much does Michel Herbelin battery replacement cost?
Standard battery replacement and resealing starts from £29.95. We confirm the final quote, including VAT, after inspecting your watch and before starting. Premium and Mini Service packages are available for suitable quartz models.
Can you replace the battery on the same day?
Many straightforward battery replacements can be completed in around one hour at our London branches, with no appointment needed. Damaged seals, movement faults and additional work may take longer. We confirm the expected turnaround when we assess the watch.
How long will servicing or a repair take?
The time depends on the fault, movement and parts needed. Servicing and work requiring ordered components take longer than a straightforward battery or strap replacement. We give an estimate after assessment; postal repairs also need time for delivery in both directions.
Do you use genuine Michel Herbelin parts?
Parts depend on availability and the repair required. We explain whether genuine components or suitable alternatives can be supplied and agree the approach before work begins. We do not claim manufacturer authorisation or access to every brand-specific part.
Is my watch pressure tested?
Where appropriate, we test after resealing using a test suited to the model, its rating and its condition. Testing does not increase the manufacturer’s water-resistance rating. We explain the result and any additional crown or seal work required.
Can I send my watch by post?
Yes. Send your securely packed watch to Ross Watch Repairs, Unit 4B, Cabot Place Shopping Centre, Canary Wharf, London E14 4QT using Royal Mail Special Delivery, with cover appropriate to its value. Include your name, phone number, email, return address and the fault or work required. Repairs under £50, assessments and warranty returns carry a £15 postal charge. Contact us before sending if you need advice.
When do I pay, and what is the guarantee?
Payment is on completion. Standard Battery & Reseal includes a 12-month guarantee, Premium Battery & Reseal includes 24 months, and Mini Service includes 36 months. Cover for other repairs is confirmed with your quote.
