Top design meets an in-house calibre and top notch quality…
I asked Hermès: What were the expectations when creating this new men’s line?
“Alexander, we wanted to create a contemporary watch, strongly anchored in the Hermès all-terrain, ‘multi-vital’ masculine universe. It was a desire to express our values, to embody them. This timepiece embodies ‘the Hermès take on contemporary masculinity’. It is adaptable. We adorn urban, travelling men who go everywhere. They are involved in the heat of the action, while also seeking comfort and ease. It had to be a beautiful object in which the materials, shapes and lines would give life to a unique expression of Hermès watchmaking. We wanted a robust, geometric, assertive and sensual object. There was also a quest for lightness through the materials and a strong desire to integrate the strap into the creation. We needed a timeless timepiece with elegance, free and audacious, neither conservative nor status-affirming. It had to be an expression of contemporary classicism.”

*Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged hexagonally, is regarded as the miracle material of the future: flexible, transparent, extremely robust, it can assume different electrical properties and has the highest thermal conductivity of all known materials. This makes it extremely interesting for countless possible applications.
