In 1947, a young clock-maker by the name of Michel Herbelin started his own watch brand in the small town of Charquemont, France. He did it with the ambitious goal of rising above the rest of the French watch making industry. And so he did! Today some 67 years later Herbelin is a well established brand with a wide range of timepieces for sale, aimed at both men and women. The company is still run by the Herbelin family with three generations working side by side! Not so common in today’s world of huge multinational corporations. Michel Herbelin epitomizes high quality watch making and technical reliability with elegance and good design. Michel Herbelin is an international brand with two thirds of production sold in approximately 50 countries worldwide. The Michel Herbelin Co. was honored in the Watch Brand of the Year category at the UK Jewelry Awards in 2007. Francisco Rabaneda Cuervo (18 February 1934 – 3 February 2023), more commonly known under the pseudonym of Paco Rabanne (French: [pako ?aban]; Spanish: [?pako ra??an]), was a Spanish[1] fashion designer. Rabanne rose to prominence as an enfant terrible of the fashion world in the 1960s with his use of unconventional materials such as metal and plastic in his clothing, and for his incorporation of futuristic elements in his designs, gaining notoriety for his space-age style. He collaborated with a range of iconic fashion houses and designed costumes for films. Rabanne was also the recipient of several awards, including the Legion of Honour, which recognised his contributions to the arts and fashion.
