Cape Cod Hermes

Hermès Cape Cod, an iconic jewel-watch of fine watchmaking

The Cape Cod watch was created in 1991 by Henry d'Origny. The famous designer was then inspired by an iconic piece of jewelry from the House of Hermès, the Chaîne d'Ancre bracelet. The design of the new watch, unusual, represents a square in a rectangle with rounded corners. This unique shape immediately identified the model and propelled it to the rank of the most iconic timepieces. However, the collection now offers watches with a tonneau dial that are just as emblematic. In 1998, the watch underwent a revival that gave it an even more mythical dimension: Martin Margiela, the artistic director of the women's ready-to-wear collections at Hermès, gave it a double-turned strap in Barenia calfskin. A first for the time that still inspires the most renowned designers of luxury watches today.

Many refined variations for men and women

The Cape Cod collection offers watches for men and women. You will find models in PM (small size), GM (large size) or very large size (TGM) versions. Hermes Cape Cod watches are also available in a variety of colors and materials, from white and yellow gold to steel and exotic leather straps. The collection regularly unveils new faces while remaining true to the elegance of its contemporary lines and the refinement that made its reputation. In terms of performance, the Cape Cod watch is equipped with a quartz mechanism or, since 2007, with a high quality mechanical watchmaking caliber. Over the years, this essential timepiece has also been fitted with complications such as the chronograph, the GMT function (dual time zone) or the tourbillon. Elegant, contemporary and timeless, the luxurious Cape Cod by Hermès jewel watches will delight lovers of high precision timepieces as well as fans of chic and stylish fashion accessories.
