The Michel Herbelin Cable 19415/B59 is a refined expression of French horology, marrying architectural elegance with exceptional craftsmanship. This ladies' timepiece features a 31.5mm polished stainless steel case paired with the collection's signature cable-style bracelet, a design element that evokes the taut lines of suspension bridges and yacht rigging. The mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with 11 precisely set spinels in lieu of traditional hour markers, creating a constellation of subtle brilliance that shifts with the light. A flat sapphire crystal ensures superior scratch resistance and clarity, while the quartz movement delivers Swiss-standard accuracy with minimal maintenance.
Crafted from 316L marine-grade stainless steel, the integrated cable bracelet is both a visual statement and a testament to Michel Herbelin's commitment to innovative design. The interplay between polished and brushed surfaces catches the eye without overwhelming the wrist, making this watch equally at home in boardroom and social settings. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for this distinguished French manufacture, ensuring every timepiece carries full factory authentication and warranty protection.

The spinel hour markers provide a refined alternative to diamonds, offering durability and a distinctive aesthetic signature. This is a watch for the discerning collector who appreciates understated luxury and technical precision in equal measure.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Michel Herbelin Cable 19415/B59 is designed for everyday elegance. The sapphire crystal provides excellent scratch resistance, while the 316L stainless steel construction ensures durability. The quartz movement requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement, making it an ideal choice for daily wear.
Q: What is the water resistance rating, and can I wear it while washing hands?
A: This watch is water resistant to 30 metres (3 ATM), which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion such as handwashing or light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend removing the watch before prolonged water contact.
Q: How do I adjust the cable-style bracelet?
A: The cable bracelet can be professionally sized to your wrist. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique where our trained staff can perform complimentary sizing adjustments. This ensures proper fit without risking damage to the unique cable construction.
Q: What makes the mother-of-pearl dial special?
A: Mother-of-pearl is a natural material that exhibits unique iridescence, meaning it shifts colour subtly depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions. Each dial is therefore slightly different, making your watch genuinely one-of-a-kind. The 11 spinel markers add points of brilliance without the ostentation of larger gemstones.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: Typically, a quartz watch battery lasts between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend having it changed by our authorised service centre to maintain water resistance seals and ensure the case is properly resealed.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is only valid when purchased from authorised dealers.
Q: Can I have this watch serviced in South Africa?
A: Yes. As an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, Cassim & Co. provides access to factory-trained service technicians for battery replacements, seal checks, and any warranty work. We also offer professional cleaning and bracelet adjustment services to keep your timepiece in pristine condition.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils, perspiration, and environmental residue that can dull the finish over time.
- Water Exposure: Although water resistant to 30 metres, avoid wearing this watch during swimming, showering, or any activity involving prolonged water immersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Sapphire Crystal: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impact against hard surfaces such as granite, ceramic, or other sapphire materials which can cause chips or cracks.
- Mother-of-Pearl Dial: Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or solvents which can damage the natural iridescence of the mother-of-pearl surface. Apply perfumes and cosmetics before putting on your watch.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically clean the cable bracelet with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt from the intricate cable construction. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperature fluctuations. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a professional movement check and seal inspection every 3-4 years to ensure optimal performance and maintain water resistance. Battery replacement should always be performed by an authorised service centre.
- Avoid Magnets: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields generated by speakers, mobile devices, magnetic clasps, and MRI equipment, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
