Focus: watch Kelly of Hermes

In addition to telling the time, Hermes watches have the quality of embodying a true art of living. Designed with Swiss watchmaking know-how and the legendary aesthetics of the maison Parisian, they seduce lovers of fashion and high precision. Discover one of the favorite models of 58 Facettes ! 

Hermès: when fashion inspires jewelry

Created in 1975, the watch Kelly stands out for its padlock-shaped case, a direct reference to the famous bag of the same name, worn and popularized by the actress Grace Kelly herself. 

It was in the 1930s that the future general director of the maison Parisian, Robert Dumas, created a surprisingly modern trapezoidal leather bag, with side straps, a clasp and a padlock comparable to a jewel. Today, the bag Kelly, just like his brother the Birkin, is considered a collector's item. In reality, to get one now, it is necessary to be patient because the waiting list is long and the resale prices are high.

Synonymous with elegance and refinement, this famous bag has given birth to a watch which in turn perfectly embodies the values of the maison Hermes: luxury, quality and discretion.

There Kelly : a watch jewel

Just like the Cape Cod by Hermes, there Kelly has evolved over time while retaining its essence. In 2018, Hermès enriched this watch with a high-precision mechanical movement, developed in collaboration with renowned Swiss manufacturers. The case, available in several sizes and materials, such as gold or steel, can also be adorned with diamonds and display an even more jewelry-like aesthetic.

The bracelet of the Kelly, interchangeable, is a tribute to Hermès' artisanal expertise in leather. It is available in a wide range of colors and exotic leathers, allowing each owner to personalize their watch according to their tastes.

Versatile and iconic, the watch Kelly of Hermes

Over the decades, the Kelly has become a real fashion accessory, both chic and practical, it is worn like a jewel that tells the time: "closer to the jewel, which can still be worn every day" has also declared Philippe Delhotal, creative and development director of Hermès Horlogerie.

In 2022, to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the watch Kelly, Hermès has launched a special edition with mother-of-pearl dials and new models for men, offering a more robust but equally refined version.
