I have a theory that as the Hermes faces are licensed to Hermes and not Apple, they are developed in house by Hermes. Hence the delay maybe?
I wonder that too. Although, I feel if Hermès was doing the actual development, the quality would be more consistent. We had the poor contrast issue with the Radial face and béton color last year and now, the missing second hand on the new Faubourg face this year for watches prior to to S11.

The Noir Clou de Selle band shipped out to me today. I loved the brown, but I just don't wear a lot of brown bands. Can't wait to see how the black looks.

Dears, did you notice significant battery drain on new watch face? I am using apple watch series 10 and usually I was ending the day with around 43% left, on new face it was 19%. Not a big issue, lots of happening on the screen haha
 
Lol I noticed the lovely orange second hand that is 'exclusive' to S11 owners more :)

Do love the face.

I have an S10 with the Faubourg Party face, and the second hand does show up in both wake mode and on AOD as well. What I don’t have is the camera capture pop-up button when I turned on the camera on the phone. Weird.

All I want is it in wake mode for my S7 :) I am sure it was in the Beta (RC it was released with).

Also interested to hear En Mer stories whether they are daily drivers. I don't think my Orange will be, not because of the durability, but the colour. I am sure it will get dirty really easily. I am tempted with a Gris one, but I would be wearing it nearly all the time. Probably won't work out in it as that is what the sports band is for, but will be wearing it most of the time on my Ultra if it is durable.
 
It’s a Hermès S10 😅
Interesting. So looks like the missing second hand for the Faubourg face is contained to S9 and below. Can almost guarantee that a fix will not be offered if it's only affecting models two or more years old. At least, the animations appear to be working correctly on my ancient S9 😂

I wonder if it will as I am pretty sure it was in the RC fine. It may just be a bug. Hopefully

As you just updated it these days - there is alway a lot of internal work that kills the battery the first days. Furthermore: I discovered, that "always on" is switched on by default after the update, wich is not a battery saver as well.
