Leather to highlight more than a century of watchmaking tradition<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With the In The Pocket watch, Herm\u00e8s<\/strong><\/span> is reviving a fundamental piece that was to forge its watchmaking destiny already spanning more than a century of history. A family history mingling a love of horses, exceptional leather-making expertise, as well as a perpetually effervescent inventiveness in creating beautiful objects meeting practical needs.<\/p>\n

It all began in 1912, when Jacqueline Herm\u00e8s<\/strong><\/span>, still a child at the time, received a gift from her father in the shape of an ingenious \u201cporte-oignon\u201d or pocket-watch holder designed to be secured to the wrist. It had been designed so that the keen young horsewoman could ride without having to attach her watch to her clothing or slip it into her pocket. Testifying to the original Herm\u00e8s expertise in the field of saddle- and harness-making, this leather strap was designed like those worn by stable lads, surrounding the pocket watch and adopting its shape so as to provide ideal protection.<\/p>\n

Skills that find their way through the decades<\/p>\n

Reinvented in 2 012 u n d e r t h e n a m e \u201cIn The Pocket\u201d, this iconic model now returns in a unique rose gold composition clad in a H red Swift calfskin. A pocket- watch that may be transformed at will into a wristwatch, it embodies both the historical leather hand craftsmanship of Herm\u00e8s and its watchmaking development to the point of becoming a full-f ledged Manufacture now in the hands of the seventh generation of the founding family.<\/p>\n

In The Pocket watch is distinguished by its extreme sobriety. The 40 mm diameter of the delicately rounded rose gold case increases to 49 m m when worn on the wrist. Its finely grained black dial reinterpreted in an Only Watch execution avoids any superfluous ornamentation so as to provide the clearest, most self-evident expression of time. The baton-type hands sweep over pared-down numerals, while the small seconds ticks round at 3 o\u2019clock, all driven by the Manufacture Herm\u00e8s H1837 movement with a 50-hour power reserve. The colour of the chapter ring echoes the H red emblematic of the House of Herm\u00e8s. Crafted in keeping with the finest horological traditions, this refined self-winding mechanism features a circular-grained and snailed mainplate, while its oscillating weight is adorned with the brand\u2019s signature \u201csprinkling of Hs\u201d motif.<\/p>\n

Leather as a hand-sewn link between past and present<\/p>\n

The incredibly complex strap of the \u201cIn The Pocket\u201d model calls for lengthy and patient workmanship. Composed of two longer and shorter sections, the plain strap end and the buckle strap end (sanglon and boucleteau in French), it is hand crafted in the leather-making workshops of La Montre Herm\u00e8s in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

These two parts are composed of three layers of leather: H red calfskin; an inner cow leather reinforcement ensuring impeccable sturdiness; and a Zermatt calfskin lining. First comes the cutting process, including layer cutting; the hides are soaked and then pressed into a mould. They dry for 10 days before being cut with a pointed tool, layer- cut, sanded down and glued. Each of the parts is then partially sewn; the buckle strap end is perforated to free up the spaces that will reveal the dial and through which the plain strap end and the crown will pass.<\/p>\n

The work continues on the table, with the buck le end and the plain strap end being fitted together, marked with a compass, indented and sewn using the saddle-stitching technique. Then comes the finishing, including hammering the stitching, marking a furrow, dyeing and polishing with beeswax. With infinite patience, one operation after another, the artisans at La Montre Herm\u00e8s<\/strong><\/span> thus lovingly create In The Pocket, a tribute to the watchmaking roots of the Maison.<\/p>\n\n\n
