Time, a Hermès product.
Hermès creates objects. Objects that are shaped by the hands of artisans to make them true companions for those who wear them. Practical, functional and of uncompromising know-how, they radiate the lightness of the unexpected. They make everyday life a playground and every instant a uniquely special moment.
For Hermès, time is also an object. The house translates its tension into a singular characteristic. Instead of measuring, arranging and controlling, Hermès dares to explore time to awaken emotions, open hidden spaces and create opportunity for spontaneity and recreation.

The History of Hermès Paris
Hermès was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès in Paris. Since then, the headquarters of the family business have remained in Paris. After his saddlery apprenticeship in Germany, Thierry Hermès moved to Paris, where he opened his first shop. At that time, he fashioned high-quality equestrian gear, bridles, and saddles for horses which are still being sold today.
Since 1928, the Hermès business in Paris has been offering in-house timepieces that were equipped with movements from the largest Swiss manufactories. In 2006, Hermès opened a leather bracelet workshop and since then has been the only Maison in the watch industry to manufacture its bracelets in-house.
Over the years, the range has been supplemented by suitcases, bags, silk scarves, watches, and jewelry. Handmade and made only from the most exclusive materials, the luxury accessories are highly coveted.
