The Apple x Hermès Smartwatch A Fashionable Tool Designed for Modern Life

The Apple and Hermès collaboration continues. It is a partnership based on parallel thinking, singular vision, and mutual regard for a fresh new expression.

Apple and Hermès, have joined forces again. Together they have come up with the Apple Watch Hermès Series 4 collection. It is a colourful range that shows off a new watch face accompanied with some striking leather bands showcases.

Designed by both Apple and Hermès, the watch face showcases the colour of time: as the minute hand moves forward, the screen shifts from one colour to the other, allowing the wearer to tell the time at a glance. Design-wise, the watch is available in two popular styles, an extra-long leather band that wraps twice around the wrist and the classic Hermès design where the buckle recalls those on the straps of a horse’s girth, a nod to the equestrian heritage of Hermès. Other bands include the Single Tour Rallye a band in fauve grained Barénia calfskin that references the design of the classic Hermès driving glove, the exclusive Hermès Sport Band and the sleek Single Tour Deployment Buckle.
