Apple and Hermès introduced new Apple Watch Hermès styles and an expanded assortment of bands that incorporate Hermès’ signature palette alongside a series of bold new colours. With a design process driven entirely by a shared ambition for ultimate beauty and utility, the collection pairs Apple Watch Series 2 with finely handcrafted leather bands in distinctive styles from Hermès, and features exclusive watch face designs inspired by the iconic Clipper, Cape Cod and Espace Hermès models. Apple Watch Hermès is the ultimate tool for modern living, a product of elegant, artful simplicity and functionality. 

Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Hermès’ executive vice president, in charge of artistic direction said: “We are united by the same vision, the uncompromising pursuit of excellence and authenticity, and the creation of objects that remain as relevant and functional as they are beautiful. This is a new step of our attelage.”

The expanded Apple Watch Hermès collection includes a new style — the Double Buckle Cuff in Swift and Epsom calfskin leathers, inspired by an archetypal Hermès sandal design by Pierre Hardy, creative director of Hermès shoes and jewelry, elegantly framing the wrist in new colours including rose jaipur, étoupe and bleu agate. The new Single Tour Deployment Buckle band is a reimagined take on a classic form, pairing the elemental simplicity of Hermès Barenia calfskin leather with the modernity of an Hermès hidden deployment buckle, which opens with a click of two side buttons. The classic Double Tour and Single Tour styles continue for fall in refreshed colours including Anemone.

New Apple Watch Hermès models pair with Apple Watch Series 2, which features GPS,  50 metres water resistance, a powerful dual-core processor and watchOS 3. It also includes an exclusive Hermès sport band in signature orange. The water resistant sport band is light and flexible for ultimate comfort and durability when working out, and is uniquely etched with ‘Apple Watch Hermès.’

Apple Watch Hermès is available in two different case sizes, 38 mm and 42 mm. They start from AED 4,599. Apple Watch Hermès Bands start from AED 1,299. They are available from select Apple Stores and Hermès stores, specialty stores and department stores.
