hermès will be releasing the above "carré h" watch this september. designed by architect marc berthier, the titanium cased watch is powered by swiss watch makers girard perregaux. the latter seems to be the movement of choice amongst some of the fashion houses who are going high end with their timepieces:
ermenegildo zegna centennial watch, the upcoming
bottega veneta "bvx" timepiece and now hermès carré h. no longer seen as "just another fashion watch", these timepieces are serious contenders amongst the bigger players out there.
limited to 173 pieces, the watch will
retail for around €12,000.
the style is undeniably hermès, but for that price bracket there are a few watches that really "spoke" to me in terms of design and complications. i am still in the market, and actively searching for
the watch. this is a considerable investment, so i should really take the time, pun not intended, to enjoy the selection process. the search continues.
