Yeah I’ll drop the links because it’s faster than searching my photos. I guess I need to do a new Anemone:


Thanks so much for these, you're a star. I like the look of both and as Purple is one of my favourite colours will go with that for now.
 
Anyone owns the original Cuff? Is it comfortable to wear and is there any problem with the modern watches (Series 4 and up)?

I have the opportunity to acquire one in pretty good condition.

Works great with my s4. Slightly constricting but nothing like the 44mm double tour. And you can remove the cuff and get a single tour look, albeit with a different buckle and perhaps uneven patina.

How is everyone liking their jumping single tour so far? I had to return mine as Hermès couldn’t add an additional hole to it as they said it’d damage the nylon strands :(
I have a large wrist, or hook to the penultimate hole, because I never tighten the strap to the wrist, I want to feel free with the watch.
I don't like double tour 44 because it is too tight. I have the black, taken on impulse, which I do not use, certainly I will not take the Fauve doublr tour 44.

As you can tell, I am loving the jumping tour. After a few weeks it still has the solid firm feel. I would imagine after months of usage it will soften. I can't imagine Hermes introducing new bands and Apple changing the lug design in a few months. So safe to purchase. I am waiting to see if new summer colors come out in June before I purchase another one.

already Hermes struggles to produce the new ones, together with the airtags. Hemers' capacity is pre-established and they do not (rightly) want to increase it at the expense of other products.
for those who can read an income statement.
note watch are not apple watches

And you’re not going to indulge us with a link or screenshot 😌?
 
They most likely just frankenstein’d it together from two different Attelage bands. I once thought they were lying too, for having non-canon noir hardware on something, but I think they just modded it. They are guilty of crimes, to be sure, but inauthentic product is not one of them. Of course, this may include the double attelage look itself! I still need to go see it in person myself now that I’m back in the world.

As for them claiming it’s sealed, that’s just nonsense or they’re re-wrapping with their own cellophane.

Thanks for sharing, I love this stuff!
 
Does someone have a picture of all the Hermes faces please? Trying to look but cant find them.

Currently have a stainless 5 series but want a 6 and likely the Hermes. Other than the faces and straps, I assume thats the only differences?

Correct that there are no other exclusives to Hermes beyond the faces and the included sport band. The leather straps are all available for sale separately. The Hermes watch only has 2 additional faces beyond what you find on the regular stainless.

Hermes
Full screen face with tons of customization options for appearance. However, it is extremely limited in terms of complications. Still, this is hands down the nicest full screen face you can get unless you absolutely need to have complications (in which case, Meridian might be better). Here are your customization options:
  • Typeface: 4 options, all custom Hermes fonts not available on other faces
  • Dial: 3 options - all 12 numerals, 4 numerals (3, 6, 9, 12), or only the 12 numeral
  • Color: tons of options that fall into 4 main categories
    • Black background with color second or hour/minute hands. Colors match Hermes straps from the past few years.
    • Solid color background
    • Gradient color background - only a few options here but they are very cool. The gradient rotates with the movement of the minute hand so the face looks subtly different each time you look at your watch. Also, when you raise your wrist, the face illuminates from AOD mode in the direction of the gradient (kind of like someone is raising the dimmer level on a light). Very cool option.
    • Two-tone solid color background - Similar to the gradient but with a solid 2 tone look. Like the gradient, the orientation changes with the minute hand.
  • Complications - Extremely limited
    • Top - Hermes branding and a tiny complication showing the phase of the moon. Cannot be turned off.
    • Bottom - Small complication showing Date, Stopwatch, or a city from your World Clock. Can be turned off.
  • A few other nice things you don’t notice until you have this watch face
    • The numerals don’t shrink when the watch switches to AOD mode. As far as I know, the Hermès face is the only one that does this? Having the numerals just dim rather than move goes miles toward making this feel like a more traditional watch.
    • The face numerals are set all the way to the edge of the screen when the face has a black background. But, when you set the face to a colored background, the numerals pull in a bit so they aren’t jammed right up against the bezel of the watch. Great use of space and attention to detail.

Hermes Circulaire
As the name suggests, this is a round face that was introduced in watchOS 7. It has fewer customization options when it comes to appearance but allows for complications in the corners. The complications are the real Apple ones (not the limited mini complication from the full screen Hermes face) and match what is available on newer Apple faces like GMT, Infograph, Chronograph Pro, etc.
Here are your customization options:
  • Color: A few options
    • Solid white background with grey numerals
    • Solid indigo background with cream colored numerals (absolutely killer combo with the Fauve leather band)
    • Dark grey background with colored second hands (several options matching the Hermès leather straps to choose from)
  • Complications - Extremely limited
    • Subdial Top - Hermes branding. Cannot be turned off.
    • Subdial Bottom - Small complication showing Date, Stopwatch, or a city from your World Clock. Can be turned off.
    • Corners - Apple rich complications identical to other analog Apple faces from introduced since the S4. Anything that is available in the corners of faces like GMT and Infograph is available here.
  • Like the full screen Hermes face, the numerals on the Circulaire don’t shrink when the screen goes to AOD mode (they only dim). The complications do shrink though.

Wow, so helpful and comprehensive!

I would just add one „not-so-nice thing you don’t notice until you have this watch face“: both Hermès watch faces are really quite dim in always-on mode, much dimmer than most (all?) other watch faces. Maybe it‘s just me, but this bothers me a lot because it‘s so random and IMO significantly diminishes the beauty of the otherwise best-in-class Hermès watch faces.

Yes I have noticed this as well, especially on the Circulaire face. Should have mentioned it for sure. It is unfortunate but I wonder if it is necessary to prevent OLED burn in since the face does not expand and contract going to AOD mode like the other Apple faces.

Ok, that would actually be a reasonable explanation for the dimness ... still a shame, though.

If this is indeed an OLED problem, I can‘t wait for the first Apple Watch Hermès with Micro LED screen. It‘s gonna be so bright we gotta wear :cool:
