MANILA, Philippines - Herme?s recreates the Fabourg watch launched in 2014 into an all-leather Manchette or cuff watch — in a wide range of colors. There’s the classic orange calfskin cuff for the classic Herme?s lover. There’s one in ultraviolet alligator leather for the brave and bold. And then there’s the black alligator cuff for the no-nonsense Herme?s woman. In a nod to the origins of Herme?s as a saddle- and harness-maker, the Fabourg’s miniature case appears dressed in the finest leathers. When teamed with the rose gold version, the cuff strap is crafted from havana, agate red, black, ultraviolet, geranium or elephant gray alligator. When paired with steel, it opts for calf in a natural Bare?nia version or deeper shades of electric blue, iris, orange or red.
Whether in tangy or classic colors, the leather is fashioned like an extension of the case so as to flow seamlessly around the wrist. Iconic Herme?s saddle stitching accentuates the watch. Its signature is that it fits like second skin.
The Herme?s Fabourg watch is available at Herme?s, Greenbelt 3.
