FUNCTIONAL SIMPLICITY

Created back in 2019 from the detailed observations of Californian designer Ini Archibong, who immersed himself in the Hermès Conservatory of Creations, the Galop d’Hermès watch embodies a singular creative approach. In particular, it revisits the equestrian codes of the maison with its stirrupinspired curve and appears in a new small-sized gold or steel interpretation. This year, the Galop d’Hermès morphs into a jewellery watch, lending its stirrup-like silhouette to three new small models – one in non-gem set steel and two others in steel or rose gold set with 134 diamonds. To top it all off, the progressive font on the dial – which is powdered and finely accentuated by touches of anthracite – stands out against a sandblasted background, while the hands sweep gently over a smooth opalescent surface.
