Hermès, the esteemed luxury brand, is set to captivate watch enthusiasts this autumn with two exquisite new watch collections. Each collection embodies the brand’s artistic heritage and unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.
The first collection, aptly named ‘Arceau Grand Tete-a-Tete Brid’e et Molle’, draws inspiration from the vibrant world of Hermès silk scarves, specifically the ‘Grand Tete-a-Tete’ design. Designed by French artist Virginie Jamin, the watch features a captivating round case atop an ‘arceau’ form, reminiscent of a stirrup, a quintessential Hermès motif. The watch face boasts 110 shimmering diamonds and showcases a delicate interplay between a horse’s bridle and bit, creating an elegant and graphic design. A playful small second hand, shaped like a bit, adds a touch of whimsy to the timepiece. Powering this intricate masterpiece is the Hermès Manufacture H912 movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case back. The watch comes with two elegant strap options: Chantilly and black, complementing the color palette of the dial.
The second collection introduces the ‘Slim d’Hermès Pocket Mysterious Rider’, a limited-edition pocket watch available in just three pieces worldwide. This exclusive timepiece finds inspiration in the ‘Mysterious Rider’ silk scarf designed by Dutch artist Victor Huffman. The watch features a pristine white gold case adorned with a bold and colorful enamel cover and dial. The cover showcases a captivating rider graphic, a fusion of refined Japanese artistry and pop culture influences, creating a futuristic and playful aesthetic. This watch is further enhanced by a rouge H alligator mat strap and a matching pouch, both exemplifying Hermès’s renowned craftsmanship in leather goods and saddlery.
These two new watch collections represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship and artistic vision, offering a harmonious blend of function and beauty. Each piece is a testament to Hermès’s commitment to pushing boundaries and creating timeless objects d’art. Explore these exquisite collections and discover a world of luxury and artistry.
