HERMÈS NANTUCKET TIMEPIECE COLLECTION
The story of the Nantucket watch continues with the Chaîne d’ancre, evoking its early days.
January 22, 2021
The Hermès Nantucket watch has been forming solid attachments for almost 30 years, featuring a “rectangle within a rectangle”, forming an unprecedented case inspired by the anchor chain links of the Chaîne d’ancre bracelet, an Hermès classic imagined by Robert Dumas in 1938.
This new model of the Nantucket timepiece offers a new take on the iconic link, which merges seamlessly into a light and supple steel or rose gold bracelet. The faithful hours and minutes hands sweep over numerals whose font is also inspired by the Chaîne d’ancre universe.
The case of the Nantucket is crafted from gold or steel in the Hermès watchmaking workshops, and freely adorned with diamonds. Light plays across the sandblasted silver-plated dial itself thanks to a sprinkle setting, or sparkles brightly in a jewelry setting around a mother- of-pearl dial.
With a light and natural touch, Nantucket interweaves its own codes of rebellious elegance.
