Here we have a NOS Jean Herber. FE automatic movement. Beautiful dial and faceted case design. Not a lot of information about this brand, and its believed to be a French watch brand in the 70s, although there are quite a few Jean Herber watches for sale, non of them can match the condition and the design of this unique example.
