Hermès Refresh Cape Cod Chaîne D’ancre

The Hermès Cape Cod Chaîne d’ancre watch smoothly and beautifully transitions from one style to the next.

The distinctive Cape Cod watch was launched in 1991 and designed by Henri d’Origny. The designer had intended it to be a square watch, but it turned out to be a square in a rectangle. With its pure lines and bold spirit, the Cape Cod shakes up existing aesthetic codes. Its original case composed of two anchor chain half-links plays to the emblematic motif created by Robert Dumas in 1938: a design inspired by a boat chain, which has become a brand style signature.

The two new gemset or non-set models interpret the double chain on a graphic dial in shades of Glycine or blue. The intertwined links stand out against a background of stamped horizontal lines, all coated in tinted lacquer and swept over by fine baton-type hands. Crafted in the Hermès Horloger workshops, an alligator or calfskin strap accentuates the soft dusty shades of these contemporary and elegant creations.
