For its first sports activities watch for girls, Hermès stays devoted to the distinctive, offbeat design rules that characterise all its merchandise. Epitomising simplicity – with a twist – the Hermès Lower watch shouldn’t be fairly a sq., not fairly a circle, however moderately strikes a rounded, angular silhouette of its personal.
Artistic director of Hermès watches, Philippe Delhotal, is a grasp of the discreet design contact, right here naming the watch after the mirror polished ‘slices’ on the left and proper sides of the satin-finished case, which lend the watch its distinctive kind. Typography, too, is rigorously thought-about, with the imperfectly rounded numbers eschewing a conventional symmetry.
Unusually for Hermès, there isn’t any leather-based, with the watch accessible on metallic bracelets or a playful, simply interchangeable collection of brightly colored rubber straps.
