This timepiece was recently launched during the last SIHH and if I go behind the many comments made to me recently by collectors and watch aficionados, well I can clearly say that it sets some kind of milestone in the development of Hermès as a very serious watchmaker. Something we didn't really doubt about with some very interesting timepieces introduced since several years.
Beyond its nice aesthetics and the "nice story" this watch tells, there is a rather very impressive technical development behind and this is the very reason why we went to visit the team of Chronode to discover what it clearly entails and see how they worked with the team of Hermès.
Enjoy & Viva Watchmaking
Cool movement, we are so lucky for having you so close to all this great brands, great video as always, cheers
Doing our best with what we love!!
Magnifique! All cred to Hermes for being creative and doing it properly. Thank you for highlighting the fact that not all "haute couture" brands are equal.
Indeed, thanks for the comment !
Fascinating to see how so many complications can be executed by so many manufacturers !!! How many ways can man make a watch ??? !!! Wow !!!!!!!!!!! Love it ! Thanks to Marc and Hermes !!! Fabulous video
You are totally right, still so much creativity out there!! All the best to you and thanks for the comment
Wow.... one hell of a watch. Very very interesting movement. Great coverage Marc.... I woudnt be able to know in depth if us not for your extremely comprehensive coverage. Thanks
Thanks a lot, that's very nice to hear !!!
I love what Hermes is doing with their time pieces. So fresh and unique. Bravo!!
Whoever thought of this is a proper Lune-atic!
And I just love it! Fantastic idea and beautifully made.
Pretty clever idea. I like it .
Hermes did a huge step forward the last years.
Very true!
How precise is a beauty like this? Great video
Very, good movement!
This is how we fall in love,No words to Define these beauties!
Yes this one is really nice!!
There is not a better place to show this product than the Canary Islands. I’m thrilled that Hermes chose Tenerife, where I was born, to do it. Very soon I will be there assembling watches, luckily for people around the world.
Excellent, wish you all the best and keep us posted about it!!! 👍👍
Definitively a very ingenious movement... would love to see top brands like Patek doing these kind of innovations...
Good comment 👍
It’s amazing I love it and it’s one of my favorite brands
Très belle mécanique !
merci.
En effet, ingénieux et poétique en même temps!
Genious mechanics!
Superb !!!
So cool.
Clever elegance!
Nicely said!
Elegent complexity!
Nicely summarized 👍
This kind of watch gives the impression of delicate design. How do they keep the entire thing robust so as to absorb shocks from day to day activities on the wrist and even accidental drops?
Just cool!!!
That’s right!
Why don't they make the moon move instead of the watch dials?
They wanted to do a totally different approach than what we are used to with moon phases. Best to you
Viva watchmaking! #perpetual
A big Viva to you 🙌
So... Marc, do they still connect the gearing to adjust the date together with the moonphase like my question of this particular movement/watch in the past of your video? Cz if it does so (as I seen in the other hands-on videos) the date setting by the user would affect the moonphase setting, in which if the user already set the correct moonphase but needs to adjust the date like in every the first of the month (cz this is not a perpetual calendar of sorts), the user would eventually need to adjust the moonphase in a complete rotation to put it back the phase of the moon in its place as moonphase is the kind of complication that only be set up once and leave it be, right?
I guess it costs as much as a trip to the Moon...with SpaceX , eventually.
Yes, eventually, which would be cool because I would then go myself!!!
Why is there even a "thumbs down option here"? Surely nobody would have the temerity to use it? Superb.
That’s nice of you and you’re totally right 😉😉
J'aime beaucoup cette montre et suis très tenté ... Mais est-ce que les aiguilles sont peintes en bleu ? Elles n'ont pas l'air traitées à la chaleur.
Je pense qu’elles ne sont pas bleuies a la flamme. Merci pour le commentaire et faites vous plaisir 😉 du moins on vous le souhaite!
@@user-zl2sc3bg3g les peintures s'estompent souvent avec le temps et c'est quelque chose d'un peu irritant parce que la restoration est souvent très mal vue par les collectionneurs et j'aime bien que mes montres soient le plus impeccable possible le plus longtemps possible... J'ai en fait ce problème ces jours ci car j'ai apporté 4 montres pour révisions cette semaine et j'ai un vieux chrono des années 70 (typique Valjoux 7734 de l'époque) avec des aiguilles oranges décolorées que j'hésite à faire repeindre en orange ... ou pas ! La couleur orange c'est quand même tellement emblématique de cette époque.
Au prix des Hermès, ils auraient pu le faire à la flamme et prendre exemple sur la montre Star Trek.
Spell blowing and magical, someone please gift me one.
Basically it a planetary gear box.
Used be most automatic cars.
Beautiful watch, Hermés did an excellent job.
Although, I would rather see them to concentrate on their regular offerings, as they kinda lacking to be honest. They are making quality pieces no doubt, but at their price point there are many more established brands with the same quality to choose from. Hermés needs something to stand out from the crowd.
Just my two cents, feel free to disagree.
Thanks for sharing your point of view, but am pretty sure that a « more established brand » would have priced this watch quite higher actually. Best to you
Agree, I would even call the pricing of this watch agressive.
I rather meant the regular/ non-limited pieces like the cape cod for example.
Hermes are much more serious than some brands with their history/vintage BS
The concept is not new and has already been implemented in the past by others. This all is just basic planetary gears. The only challenging part was the usual watch trade off: make it thin and light but keep it solid enough to last for at least a couple of years.
nice watch but where was the date?
There are 2 rotating dials. One time. The other ...
Thanks for answering 👍
☑️ ARR : 31
Bah.. Fuck that brand.
Hermes is not really a watchmaker. They make ties and woman handbags. This is not really a watch maker
That's not all what they do, I get that it's a luxury group/brand, but they are very serious whatever they do, whether it's their historical craft of making horse saddles, but all the rest too; from clothes, porcelain, crystals to furniture, it goes way beyond handbags ;) all the super best to you
