A global benchmark in the realm of bags and accessories, the brand with the famous silk carré is starting to make a name for itself in the field of watchmaking, especially since its triumph at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in 2011, when the Arceau Le temps suspendu model was awarded the “Best Men’s Watch” prize. This patented model now comes in a diamond-set pink gold ladies’ version. Its patented “Time Suspended” mechanism visible through the sapphire caseback continues to work its magic : a simple press on the button brings the hands to a halt on either side of noon, masking the ongoing passage of time. Another press sets it running again, as the mechanical memory of the self-winding watch positions the hands on the correct time. In an even more exclusive register, Hermès is giving free rein to its creativity in new territories that the brand has christened “Haute Bijouterie”. The Fouet necklace in platinum set with 3,669 diamonds flouts existing boundaries with dazzling ease and grace.
