Faubourg Manchette Joaillerie

The Faubourg watch returns in yet another new guise. A dainty miniature size in 2014, it evolved into a leather cuff in 2015. Now here it is again in leather, with the added attraction of precious stones. When crafting its sleek, chic silhouette, as much couture as it is sport, Hermès called on the finest artisans, all well-versed in prestigious leather-crafting techniques. Each of the different leather parts is meticulously assembled using the same saddle-stitching for which Hermès is renowned. They frame a small gold case surrounded by 36 baguette-cut emeralds with, at the centre, a malachite dial punctuated by four diamond hour-markers. A gem of a watch, to be worn like a second skin.
