Bangkok--6 Nov--Francom Asia
The archives at Herm?s are full of surprises, and bear witness to a past that is rich inhidden treasures of creativity and expertise. A recently resurfaced buttonhole watchthus inspired Herm?s to create a timepiece that is as precious as a gem: the Pendentif Boule.
Amusingly, the ball rolls, rotates and sparkles with diamonds. A harmonious blend of overfour hundred and eighty stones adorn the case middle and crown, concealing the whitegold beneath the delicate settings. The hemispherical back sheathed in leather in the LaMontre Herm?s workshops highlights the house’s original saddlery and harness-makingskills — a true treasure of craftsmanship. On the front, the sapphire crystal emphasises theroundness of the creation and protects a dial in natural white mother-of-pearl featuringdelicate circular-grained hour-markers.
Presented here with matt indigo alligator leather on a white gold chain, the Pendentif Boulecan also be crafted in various other colours.
