A HISTORY OF TIME

La Montre Hermès has just shown us a really interesting timepiece, one that embodies the historical skills of the House and its new watchmaking capabilities with their very own movement, the H1837. The idea of “In the pocket”" is based on a model originally developed for an Hermès family member  in 1912 and gives you 3 possibilities of wearing it: as a pocket watch, a necklace or as a wrist watch where your wrist will be fully and comfortably surrounded with Hermès leather. The downside? Well, it’s a limited edition for only 24 happy customers around this planet. The upside? We really loved it!
