Hermes Timepieces
In 1837, Thierry Hermes opened his workshop in Paris' Grands Boulevards, crafting harnesses for nobility travelling through the capital. Countless designs since pay homage to this origin story, including this 'Galop d'Hermes' watch. Designed by artist Ini Archibong and set on a handmade alligator strap, the 18-karat rose gold case recalls a horse stirrup, and glistens with 160 diamonds. The dial has two different finishes - an opaline center and grained silvered beneath the numerals.
