CARRE H RETURNS IN A NEW STYLE

Hermès creates objects born of craftsmanship, know-how and creative freedom. Beyond their functional role, these objects make everyday life their playground. Time is also an object for Hermès and it dares to offer it as a thing that opens up and create spaces for recreation. The Carré H watches carry within them the inherent tension of time as an object.

In 2010, Hermès introduced the Carré H, a square timepiece created by Marc Berthier, with a modern aesthetic, designed for instant legibility. Today it returns in a new style: Berthier has enlarged the square by a few millimetres and opted for light effects, playing across the steel case with its polished and microbead-blasted finishes, on the dial with its right-angled guilloché work, and on the facetted hands and numerals. This perfectly balanced use of light accentuates the clarity of the design, the softened edges of the square, the curved profile of the case, and the cylindrical crystal. Finally, the exclusive font of the numerals — making use of the zero — contributes to the new aesthetic equilibrium of this watch.

The case of the Carré H is polished and microbead-blasted 316Lsteel. It comes with a dark grey or black dial, opaline guilloché centre, finely grained chapter ring, and a sunburst or opaline rum. The Arabic numerals on the dial are coated with Super-Lumi-Nova. The watch is self-winding, Swiss made, with Hermès’ H1912 movement. Straps are the Carré H are available in natural or black Barénia calfskin.

In the Philippines, Hermès is located at Greenbelt 3, Ayala Center, Makati.
