The Chaine d’Ancre collection by Hermes

Hermès is first and foremost a saddler which has established itself as one of the greatest luxury houses.

The founder of the House, Thierry Hermès, opened his factory in 1837. The House concentrated for a long time in the equestrian field (saddles, harnesses, horse rugs and other riding articles), hence the brand logo which is represented by its emblematic carriage. The work of the house ended up diversifying even more until launching into jewelry.

The Chaîne d’ancre bracelet: a timeless and unbeatable item from the House

Jewelry is today an essential sector of the House, and what has made jewelry famous at Hermes is obviously the Chaîne d'Ancre bracelet, considered today as timeless.

There is a story to this bracelet which begins when Robert Dumas, the son-in-law of Thierry Hermès' son, traveled the Normandy coast with his vacation notebook in which he spent a lot of time drawing sketches. During one of his walks, Robert Dumas was captivated by the curves of the chain connecting the boat to its anchor. He therefore drew this chain in his notebook and represented all the force that it embodies, the Anchor Chain bracelet came into being in this way. 

Robert Dumas wanted this jewel to be created in silver, a material that jewelers did not use at that time. He then called on the craftsman De Percin, who was the only one to agree to work on thesilver.

As soon as it was released, this cult jewel was a success and still is to this day, timeless and timeless, it travels through the years and takes everyone wearing this jewel on a journey.
