Every new series of the Apple Watch welcomes endless styling possibilities and opportunities for personalisation. From special engravings to interchangeable watch straps, elevating one’s everyday outfit is as simple as adorning the wrist.
For fans of uncompromising design and thoughtful innovation, Apple’s latest collaboration with French luxury brand Hermès is the perfect match. The Apple Watch Hermès collection takes inspiration from the maison‘s equestrian heritage, introducing elements that are connected to movement and ponies.
Gracing the Apple Watch’s screen is a new Lucky Horse watch face, complete with an apple and horseshoe. Expect an animated horse to playfully come alive at the flick of a wrist, while shifts in mood creates varied colour changes on the watch face. Not to mention, when the clock strikes 10:10, a harness across the horse’s muzzle becomes visible.
Adding to the equestrian flair are an assortment of straps that feature vibrant hues and timeless tones on leather and fabric. Those interested in a sophisticated watch style that speaks quiet luxury can look out for our personal favourite—the jumping nylon strap. Soft and flexible, the jumping nylon strap offers just the right amount of vibrant detailing with its intricate brown and sapphire blue weave. The pop of colour also makes for an eye-catching accent that works with any simple outfit.
Another great option for high-quality, classic designs would be the H Diagonal bands. In this new series of calfskin leather bands, the maison‘s 1970’s H en biais motif is subtly reproduced on a leather band via 1,300 individual and precise perforations, epitomising a sporting spirit and inviting movement.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a statement accessory to add edginess to an outfit, consider the Gourmette band. Inspired by curb link chains, the leather double tour band is reinterpreted with a hand-polished steel chain.
Whether it’s the holiday season or new year festivities, these stylish companions that merge the savoir faire of Hermès and Apple’s creativity make for timeless practical accessories.
