Exquisitely elegant with its dainty lines, the Faubourg watch celebrated its first emergence from the workshops in 2014. In the following year, it became an all leather-clad cuff watch paying tribute to the original harness- and saddle-making expertise of Hermès. Now it transcends the art of leather craftsmanship by associating it with gemsetting to become the Faubourg Manchette Joaillerie.
Having become a second skin, the leather flows around the wrist like an extension of the case that has been fashioned in gold by Hermès and adorned with an entirely hand-crafted 36-gemstone baguette setting.
