Series 1 Copperfield

Men’s affiliation with mechanical machines, whether they are megalithic like motor vehicles or intricate as a wristwatch strapped one’s wrist, there is particular endearment involved. Since the 19th century, particularly in watchmaking, has captured the desire of humans performing feats that others would consider impossible. This happened to Montres Herodia, a watch brand that was born in 1948 in a watchmaking town along the Jura valley, known as Reconvilier (a city that still exists) by Henri Bargenter, who was a mechanical watchmaker. Two years later in 1950, Herodia moved to 11, Des Eaux-Vives Square, located in Genève. Since then, the brand name registered in the USA on January 14th, 1950, where Henri Bargenter along with the help of Mr. Clement Armand, has increased its distribution all over Europe. Not putting a halt in their distribution, in 1954 Herodia went further to the far Eastern border and started to sell its watches in the Asia region.

Herodia has been part of the emerging trends of the 50s and 60s, offering reliable mechanical watches, and all being strictly “Swiss Made.” Today, we would like to introduce their latest offerings that reflect the whole savoir-faire from their 60s package.

Revived in 2018, the Herodia Series 1 is the very first collection from the Swiss manufacturer. They are focusing on their historical tradition with distinctive traits. All models in this series have congruence case dimensions of 42mm in width and 48mm from lugs to lugs. This dimension veers more towards a professional tool watch side, an ideal size for a proper dive watch, having the right balance of wearability and readability. The Series 1 further packs several intricate details at a stunning price.
