Apple and Hermès have unveiled the Apple Watch Hermès, a new stainless steel Apple Watch collection offered with iconic Hermès leather straps, including the Simple Tour, Double Tour and Manchette, in keeping with the design and functionality of the Apple Watch. This collaboration combines Apple’s incomparable capacity for product innovation with Hermès’ unrivalled watchmaking iconography and heritage of craftsmanship to create a unique expression of the Apple Watch.
“Apple and Hermès design very different products, but they reflect the same demand for quality design,” said Jonathan Ive, Apple’s Chief Design Officer. “Both companies are driven by a genuine quest for excellence and the desire to create something that suffers no compromise. The Hermès Apple Watch truly embodies this conviction.”
“At Hermès, we are committed to offering our customers elegant, creative and functional objects for their daily lives,” said Pierre-Alexis Dumas, executive vice president in charge of artistic direction at Hermès. “How could this principle be expressed in a more modern and relevant way than in the form of this collaboration with Apple? We are united by the same ideas and principles deeply rooted in our culture. I see our collaboration as an alliance for excellence; like the horse and the carriage that together form the perfect team.”
The Apple Watch Simple Tour with 38 mm stainless steel case is offered with straps in fawn Barénia leather, black Box calfskin and nasturtium Swift calfskin, while the Apple Watch Simple Tour with 42 mm stainless steel case is available with straps in fawn Barénia leather and black Box calfskin. The Apple Watch Double Tour features a 38 mm stainless steel case and straps in fawn and denim blue Barénia leather, nasturtium Swift calfskin and pewter.

All stainless steel cases in the collection feature the Hermès engraved signature on the back, and allow the dial to be customized with three exclusive designs inspired by the dials of Hermès Clipper, Cape Cod and Espace watches.
