Hermès launches a new watch collection this year, the Hermès Cut, an interplay of the circular. A round shaped timepiece enclosing a circular dial, the Hermès Cut plays with the vocabulary of geometry dear to Hermès.
The balanced proportions of the satin-brushed and polished case and the gleam of its clean-cut edges accentuate the character of Hermès Cut.
The crown, boldly positioned at half past one and embellished with a lacquered or engraved H, stands out for its originality. Playing with light and shimmering effects, the bevel-cut bezel frames a generous dial with a curved edge, punctuated by luminescent applied Arabic numerals. The unique embossed font complements the simplicity of the watch and enlivens time read-off.
The watch is powered by a Manufacture Hermès H1912 movement. This mechanical self-winding calibre, revealed through the sapphire crystal caseback, drives the display of hours, minutes and seconds. Polished, phosphorescent and partly openworked, the elegant baton-shaped hour and minute hands, along with a large seconds hand bearing a luminous dot, sweep over the silver-toned dial with its grey- and orange-accented minutes track.
The seamlessly integrated metal bracelet features supple links with a rounded profile and alternating finishes picking up the case design. In addition, a rubber strap is available in a range of eight colours drawn from the Hermès palette – white, orange, gris perle, gris étain, glycine, vert criquet, bleu jean and capucine – while a clever interchangeability system makes it easy to play with styles on a daily basis.
Whether all in steel or in an elegant two-tone combination of steel and rose gold – with 56 bezel-set diamonds or without – the Hermès Cut watch asserts its versatile and timeless personality.
