Found a couple more photos after a deep dive. Etain leather mats were a very real thing!
My thoughts exactly. Hermes bands only? If they’ve indeed scrapped SS and/or the smaller size I could why no more dedicated Watch?
You may be on to something… those are the only case sizes that don’t re-use existing ‘large’ numbers for the ‘small’!
Thinking about it, I don’t think they are going to discontinue just the small bands – if Apple is going to go through the trouble of breaking compatibility, I would wager they would go ahead and “rip off the Band-Aid “ and break compatibility across the board, e.g. the rumored magnetic attachment system. that is to say, if the small bands are discontinued, they all are IMO.
I’m glad you’ve confirmed you’re not living in a simulation mate
I don’t think the “no smaller bands” idea was viable past a few weeks of conception
Series 10: theres no watch either
You can’t miss closing your rings if there’s no rings
If 41mm only sticks around with the SE, all “one size” (sport loop, milanese, etc.) 42mm+ bands will need new S/M options as the current 45mm o/s options will be too large for small wrists. The 45mm solo bands were more recently made available in sizes 1-3 after launching with only sizes 4-12, which lends more to the rumor.
Or 41mm goes away anyway with the new SE using the same lugs and sizing as the new Series but it’s plastic and has a larger bezel and is missing features.
We’ll find out on Monday!
Does anyone remember what the prices were for the Hermes with leather band. I think they were only available from Hermes directly right?
I think the bands themselves are now 400usd, so just add 60 to the price of a watch from the Apple store
Gurman is reporting that the Hermes relationship with Apple may be over and that they are going to be a Jacquemus Apple Watch moving forward. I really hope that is not the case.
Edit: he retweeted it, sorry for the misinformation. He didn’t directly report it.

You mean this tweet that Gurman retweeted?
I wouldn't read too much into it.

It obviously means something. Maybe another edition for that brand? I’d be shocked if Hermes went away though.
assuming Hermes had a 10 year contract with Apple they'd still have time to go before that expired or renewed. That's a big assumption though.
I'd guess it means they probably helped with the ad re: costume department.
Apple feels like the kind of company to be strict enough not to allow this kind of teaser for a collaboration that big.

Does Jacquemus do watches? Could not find any on their website, but maybe they were taken down like Hermes does before a launch.
Jacquemus do not make watches. They are a very young and very limited fashion label (shoes and handbags). My guess is it will be a joint collaboration with Nike (given Jacquemus and Nike got together in 2022), with Tim Cook being on the Nike board of directors.
There is also no mention of watches, so it could be anything like phone cases (FineWoven replacement or the advancement of leather goods replacements), or Apple/Nike/Jacquemus running shoes to complement Apple Fitness, or AirTag holders for purses (like Hermès).
I don't think Apple/Hermès is going away.
