Bangkok--27 Aug--Pendulum
The magic of an interchangeable strap varying in tune with wishes, moods and styles. The graceful dance of time around colourful dials enlivened with “sunburst” motifs, or a shimmering waltz across white mother-of-pearl In this year 2007 dedicated to dance and to movement, Herm่s unveils Passe-passe, a watch that plays with time by constantly recreating it.
Herm่s combines watchmaking creativity and saddle-making skills in an exclusive new strap system. A screw on the back of the watch releases the leather strap running through the case-back in a simple and playful gesture, a clever conjuring trick known only to the woman wearing the watch. Crafted from the finest leathers and fashioned in the grand Herm่s tradition, the straps embody ingrained perfection that is far more than skin deep, available in a range of elegant and refined colours. The Passe-passe watch comes in three sizes. The small and medium-sized ones are adorned with natural white mother-of-pearl dials; the large models send the light glinting off white, coppery brown, blue or silver-coloured dials; and steel meets diamonds in a jewellery version of the small and medium-sized models. The magic of time, bearing the unmistakable hallmark of Herm่s.
