The art of saddlery and that of watchmaking are closely bound: same love of the trade, same reverence for patience, same esteem for ancestral skill, same desire to create objects made to last.
This kinship led Hermès to begin making its first watch straps in the 1920s, then to create its own timepieces with the greatest makers in the world.
This pas de deux continued with the creation of La Montre Hermès SA in 1978 in the city of Bienne, the beating heart of Swiss watchmaking, which saw the development of an entire collection of watches steeped in technical rigour, style, and imagination.
