French watchmaker HERBELIN, synonymous with excellence and tradition, marks 2023 with a grand celebration. 35 years after the launch of the Newport collection, an exceptional anniversary edition sees the light of day: the Newport Chronographe Automatique Édition 35ème Anniversaire.
The essence of an icon revisited
This was a major challenge for Mathieu Herbelin, grandson of the founder. Respecting the original essence of the Newport while bringing it up to date with the times demanded a clear vision and an ingenious approach. Like the transatlantic sailing yacht that gave birth to it, this anniversary edition harmoniously blends the classic codes of the original Newport with contemporary technicality.
A sleek, refined design
With its two-tone case, touches of steel and yellow gold PVD, the watch celebrates a timeless maritime design, inspired by the portholes of transatlantic sailing ships. With its exceptional finesse, the circular brushed steel bezel demonstrates HERBELIN’s attention to detail. The Newport blue dial, adorned with beveled hour-markers and punctuated by a marine wheel, elegantly evokes the majesty of the oceans.
Exceptional mechanics
True to watchmaking expertise, the Newport Chronographe Automatique is powered by a Swiss self-winding mechanical movement, guaranteeing unrivalled precision. With a power reserve of 62 hours and 27 jewels, the mechanism is a technical feat visible through the transparent caseback.
A rich 35-year heritage
The Newport adventure began in the 80s, under the impetus of Jean-Claude Herbelin. Inspired by the yachts competing in the America’s Cup in Newport, Rhode Island, this collection reflects the family’s passion for the sea. With 500,000 Newport watches sold since its launch, the story is far from over.
Available in a limited series of 350, this unique timepiece is a reminder that HERBELIN has been perpetuating traditional French watchmaking expertise for 75 years. The Newport Chronographe Automatique Édition 35ème Anniversaire is more than a watch, it is the symbol of timeless luxury and HERBELIN tradition.
