Hermès Edition Owners Thread

It's the Calvi I was thinking of, but will look at the wider range - just need space for more than 4 cards and the Calvi seems a bit excessive as it's just a dumping ground with no segregation.

The Calvi (if I recall correctly) can fit 7+ credit sized cards on each side. Lots of space there, but if you have cash that can take up some space as well. Nice snap enclosure too.

On a side note autocorrect on here wants Calvi to be Calvin and Kilim to be Kilimanjaro haha.

By the way, does anyone here have any of the small leather goods range items from Hermès, wallets or cardholders etc.

I have seven leather bracelets (Goliath, two Tournis Tresse, Jumbo H, Glenan H, and Glenan H Link, as well as a suede cuff) in addition to Hermès AirTag keychain in Blanc with a beautifully painted leopard on the back. All stand up really well. Same supple leather. The only personal drawback about some of the bracelets is wearing them on the same wrist as my watch is that the metal accents tend to bang up against the buttons or scuff the outside but barely noticeably and the latter is easily cleaned with a Cape Cod cloth.

I love the micro scratches on the SS watch especially how great it looks in the sunlight. The only time id use a cape cod cloth is if there was a long scratch and it really does work well. You may drive yourself crazy trying to keep SS perfect

Great post above @Dstopsie

Thank you very much!!!

100%!

The Kilim was a slow burner for me. First impression was it was nice, but rubber and do I want to spend £300 on a piece of rubber. Gradually it grew on me and now I am in love with it! As you said it probably isn’t ‘worth’ £300/$350 but it is as it gives me pleasure. I can wear it whilst not worrying about trashing it, and as I work from home full time, it gives my watch a bit of elegance without being over dressy.

I think it pairs nicest with the lucky horse. Well today it does. The beauty of the Apple Watch is it pairs best with whatever mood you are in!

Yes. Exactly!!! The important thing is it gives you pleasure and to me that is priceless. I love when I look down at my wrist and see the beauty of the Kilim band.

I can’t wait to see the next colors Hermes will release in it!!! I am sure I will buy all of those too which I have never done with any of their leather or jumping tour bands.

Are there any other colors of the Kilim you may consider purchasing??

Mine hasn’t noticed…yet

 

[BillGates1969]

For those with the Kilim, is the Rouge like the Rouge H leather or more plumb like the Apple leather?

+1 for Navy.

I tried the Rouge but didn’t like it so returned.

Hmmm I haven’t seen the Apple leather in person sand I can’t remember if I have the Rouge H leather. I have to check my boxes. I don’t feel it’s plumb in color or tone at all as it’s a bit darker in color. Maybe these pics will help.

This is awesome!!! I need this!!! ❤️

For those who have the Clou de Selle, how are you liking it? Any new pics to share?

 

[BillGates1969]

The link to the files/Store are on the previous page. I have a 3D printer so tweaked it a bit and did it myself, but the guy who designed it has a store and will print for you as well as tweaking it.

Was a 7 hour print though lol. And that wasn't on the best quality, but medium - hence a bit of sanding down I need to do now to make it look perfect.

Only wore it once. It’s my super special occasions band and it can’t call for rain type of band lol

Talking of rain, my dog wanted to go out for his job at 4am and it was bucketing down. Sleepily I let him out and went with him (it was dark, he is a chihuahua and we have foxes and other things around).

After 2 mins he did his thing, I was soaked and then panicked. Ah I forgot I was wearing my Hermes strap!!!! Panic over, it's a Kilim

I've been thinking of grabbing one (during the short time window they're in stock) and swapping the deployment clasp from my Fauve Barenia over and vice versa.

But then I would have to explain the charge to the wife and that's where my great idea falls to pieces.

One time I was caught in the rain with my (at the time) Ebene Fauve Deployment buckle. I actually took the watch off and put it in my pocket haha.

I’m in the southern USA. There was a 100% no chance of rain that day, but thunderstorms popped up. Most importantly, the band was safe lol

I love it—I definitely gave mine a run for its money, wearing it every day since I received it and just replaced it with the more sensible Kilim as a DD.

I got this one too. Man, that color is delicious. And versatile for me, dress it up or down

How do the Kilim deployment bands compare to the leather ones?Are the leather ones as easy to set up and get on and off, once set up. I have a hand coordination issue and am moving away from the jumping and leather Hermes bands. The Kilim has been much easier for me (I have 4). Wondering how the leather deployment is by comparison? Thanks.

Kilim is probably one of the most accesible bands because of the deployment buckle.

Leather deployments I would say are a step or two back though. The leather loops create a lot of friction to get the long part of the band through. Leather on leather type of friction and the variances are rather tight.
