Description from the seller

Herma Antichoc – 15 Rubis – Antimagnetic – Swiss Mechanical – Chrome Plated – 1960s–1970s

A charming vintage Herma wristwatch featuring a classic silver dial, elegant mid-century proportions and a Swiss hand-wound mechanical movement. With its distinctive numeral configuration, slim applied indexes and understated styling, this piece captures the character of traditional European mechanical watches from the 1960s–1970s.

The silver-tone dial combines prominent Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock with applied baton hour markers. Gold-tone hands provide a subtle contrast, while the lower section of the dial carries the inscriptions “ANTICHOC”, “ANCRE 15 RUBIS” and “ANTIMAGNETIC”, highlighting the technical characteristics of the movement.

Condition Report
This vintage Herma is in Grade B+ condition, with visible signs of age and previous use consistent with its vintage character.

The chrome-plated case shows scratches, surface marks and noticeable wear to the plating, particularly around the lugs, case edges and case back perimeter. The stainless steel case back presents normal surface scratches and retains the original inscriptions “ANTIMAGNETIC – STAINLESS STEEL BACK” together with reference number 200115.

The silver dial remains attractive and highly legible, displaying light age-related traces. The hour markers, Arabic numerals and hands show natural ageing consistent with the period.

The acrylic crystal is present and shows signs of normal use. The watch is fitted with a black leather strap.
Water resistance has not been tested and is therefore not guaranteed.

Story & Heritage
Herma was a French watch brand associated with the traditional mechanical watchmaking industry of the 20th century, producing accessible and reliable wristwatches equipped with Swiss mechanical movements.

This example reflects the practical design philosophy of its era. The inscriptions “Ancre 15 Rubis,” “Antichoc” and “Antimagnetic” were meaningful technical selling points at the time, emphasizing a jeweled lever movement together with protection against everyday shocks and magnetic influence.
Its 35 mm case gives the watch balanced vintage proportions, while the combination of the silver dial, large Arabic numerals and applied indexes creates a particularly clean and recognizable period aesthetic.

More than simply a timekeeper, this Herma represents an era when mechanical watches were designed as dependable everyday companions — straightforward, functional and built around traditional watchmaking principles.
A distinctive vintage piece for collectors of classic European mechanical watches and authentic mid-century design.
