Hermès – Nantucket Silver ᶧ & Cape Cod Tonneau Silver ᶧ
The Cape Cod line, a pillar of the Maison Hermès since 1991, reinvents itself this year in a stylish and elegant manner, while preserving its rounded curves and distinctive lugs.
The entire collection now features a redesigned dial and an interchangeable strap, while the case of the Tonneau and Nantucket models is available in Silver ᶧ – an unusual silver alloy based on a composition exclusive to Hermès and which lastingly preserves the inimitable radiance of the precious metal.
The delicately curved case shape of the Cape Cod models echoes one of the iconic Hermès jewellery creations that is also inspired by the maritime world: the Anchor Chain bracelet.
The Cape Cod peninsula dappled with sunlight is pervaded by a distinctive atmosphere, a unique luminosity that is at once white, dazzling and filled with warmth, like the sun shimmering on silver.
Hermès is renewing its ties with this precious metal in its watch creations, turning alchemist by offering its very own silver composition. This new alloy features a larger proportion of silver than the conventional 925 alloy and was specially developed to ensure that silver maintains its characteristic glow over the years.
Model: Hermès Nantucket Silverᶧ
The slender and graceful Nantucket watch wraps its elegant lines smoothly around the wrist, highlighting the shimmering reflections and distinctive radiance of the Silver alloy now replacing its initial 925 silver. Delicately curved to ensure perfect comfort, non-set or gem-set according to the model, its case inspired by an anchor-chain link is moored to the wrist by interchangeable leather straps underscoring the precious nature of this creation.
