Galop d'Hermès
Hermès has added a small model made of 18K pink gold and stainless steel to its "Galop d'Hermès," which reflects the worldview of the brand that originated as a harness manufacturer. The Galop d'Hermès is modeled after the stirrups that are hung on both sides of the saddle for footing when riding a horse, and was designed by designer Ini Archibong and released in 2019.
Quartz. SS, 18KPG (27.2mm long, 20mm wide). SS: 427,900 yen, SS + diamond: 902,000 yen, 18KPG: 1,606,000 yen.
The Galop d'Hermès has a simple yet unique design, featuring a rounded case with a symmetrical crown at 6 o'clock. The "8" index features a playful design reminiscent of an upside-down stirrup. The case measures 20mm wide and 27.2mm long. It comes in three models: a plain stainless steel model, a stainless steel model set with 134 diamonds, and an 18K pink gold model.
The movement is a quartz type that displays hours and minutes.
Cape Cod Chaine d'Ancre
Hermes has added the Cape Cod Chaine d'Ancre, which incorporates an anchor chain motif, to the Cape Cod, one of the brand's iconic bags.

The Cape Cod was first released in 1991 and is characterized by its "rectangle-on-square" design, which was inspired by a single stroke of the pen when designer Henri d'Origny was considering a square-case watch. This latest model adds a motif combining two halves of an anchor chain, invented by Robert Dumas in 38.
Three new models will be added: a 29mm 18K pink gold model and a 23mm stainless steel model with a black obsidian dial. The 23mm 18K pink gold model features a lacquered dial in the same color as the case. Each model features diamonds on the case side and in the Chaine d'Ancre motif.
The movement is a quartz type that displays hours and minutes.
Hermes HO8
Automatic movement (Cal. H1837). Power reserve: approximately 50 hours. Graphene composite case (diameter 39.0 mm). Water resistant to 10 bar. Price: 1,009,800 yen (tax included).
Hermès has announced a new men's collection, "Hermès HO8." The brand has incorporated the Hermès men's worldview into this collection. The case, with its polished and matte finishes, and the design, which combines strength and delicacy, represent the multifaceted nature of men. The "O" used in the collection's name represents "0 (zero)," and the "8" becomes "∞ (infinity)" when turned sideways. At first glance, the name seems symbolic, but it also embodies the journey between a world of nothingness and a world of everything, as well as the mystery of time.
There are three variations available: the first is a model with a graphene composite case and a ceramic bezel, the second is a model with a titanium case treated with black DLC, and the third is a model with a titanium case. All are black in color. The crown is screw-down and the watch is water resistant to 10 bar.
Automatic movement (Cal. H1837). Power reserve: approximately 50 hours. Black DLC-coated Ti case (diameter: 39.0 mm). Water resistant to 10 bar. Price: 643,500 yen (tax included).
