Hermes is a long-standing company renowned for its elegant timepieces and luxurious lifestyle accessories. The brand was founded in 1912 and has gone from strength to strength, creating perfumes, home furnishings, and alluring jewelry designs. The fact that Hermes watches are so affordable makes then a popular choice for both professionals and fashion-conscious individuals alike. For over a century Hermes has been associated with timeless wristwatches. The company’s collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture in Fleurier enables it to source high-quality movements for powering some of Joseph Erard’s most exquisite designs.

This guide showcases some of the most popular Hermes watches, including those with innovative features like a sliding GMT function and a hidden hour hand. Will you choose a classic dress watch like the blue and silver-toned Hermès Arceau Petite Lune watch, or a slimline design that wears perfectly under the sleeve of your favorite office shirt?

This is a modern dress watch with a twist. The watch’s novel approach to reading two time zones at once is presented in a rather unique way. The main time can be accessed in the Arabic numeral track around the periphery of the dial, characterized by a golden finish to match the material of the case. The second time zone is displayed in a silvered sub-counter at 9 o’clock. The numerals 1-12 are presented in a scatter-type effect. Of course, reading the time from an indulgent deep blue dial makes the watch feel all the more luxurious once on the wrist. If you like your wristwatch to communicate understated elegance – this is the perfect companion for you. A date ring is located at 6 o’clock, as well as a home and local time indicator at 3. This GMT watch is perfect for any frequent traveler. Key features of the watch are its 42-hour power reserve and stunning 18k rose gold case.

Hermes watches have such an exclusive feel because the brand has dedicated a lot of time and effort towards bringing their independent manufacture into the forefront of their designs, like with the Hermes Dressage L’Heuer Masquee watch (which stands for “Masked Hour). It’s a follow-on from the Temps Suspendu watch, which allowed the wearer to suspend the time and then return to its correct positioning by pressing a pusher. Instead, the Hermès Dressage L’Heure Masquée features an hour hand that is hidden behind the minute hand unless a button set onto the crown is activated. The hour hand immediately jumps into position at the same time as the GMT window displays the correct time on the second time zone feature. This unique timepiece is certainly geared towards your tastes if you like a watch that offers something niche and exclusive. The 40.5mm 18k rose gold watch provides a 45-hour power reserve (caliber H1925) and comes complete on a traditional brown leather strap.

This Arceau made it to our list of most popular Hermes watches thanks to its universally appealing design. Its ingenious dial features Arabic numerals delicately leaning over creating a sense of fluidity. If you like to break the norm with your choice in stylish wristwatches – this Hermes Arceau 78 certainly does that. Its grained anthracite surface resembles the look of sand, framed by a bead-blasted stainless steel bezel measuring 40mm in diameter. The rest of the case is finished in a mirror-polished smooth effect, adding a sense of depth and individuality to the design. You can make use out of a discreet date feature at 6 o’clock courtesy of an ultra-precise quartz movement. This popular Hermes watch is a practical consideration if you spend a lot of time in the office or wearing a formal wardrobe since the model has been completed on a classic brown leather strap with cream contrast stitching that pairs well with all smart attire.

The revamped Hermes Carre H watch sports a new dial design as well as a newly updated movement from its smaller 2010 model. Its non-round case shape is ambitious and this design concept perfectly embodies Hermes’ boundary-breaking and limit-pushing approach to watchmaking, The brand certainly isn’t scared to stand out for being different. The watch is 38mm in width – an unimposing size for a square profile. The hour markers around the edge of the dial are presented in double digits. Similar to a Bell & Ross watch in some ways (although with a more affordable price tag), this Hermes Carre H watch will certainly get you noticed thanks to its angular corners, crisp markers and stylish brown leather strap sporting recessed holes and matching brown stitched decoration. The yellow counterweight second hand and distinct brown hour and minute indices further enhance a unique edge to this Hermes watch.

Last on our list is this Hermes dress watch crafted from steel. The slanted Arabic numerals often seen in models belonging to the Arceau watch collection by Hermes, are as present and as obvious as ever in this elegant timepiece. The case width of this 39mm Hermes Arceau Petite Lune watch makes it a wearable size for a female or a male wrist. A deep blue alligator leather strap picks up matching blue tones from the moon phase display located at 10 o’clock on a silver dial – a feature that clearly adds to a harmoniously balanced dial. Add to that, a small second dial at 6 o’clock, and you have yourself a perfectly refined wristwatch for wearing to work, special occasions, or for dressing with relaxed attire at the weekend. Hermes Arceau watches are also distinguishable for their asymmetrical lugs. The Hermes Arceau Petite Lune watch is powered by a self-winding movement and has been equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire glass lens to showcase the movement in motion and to preserve the beauty of the dial for wearing year-round on the wrist.
