The distinctive and impertinent Cape Cod watch was born in 1991 from the unbridled pencil strokes of 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 with the emblematic motif created by Robert Dumas in 1938: a design inspired by a boat chain, which has become a brand style signature.
 

Displaying the innate ease of a timeless icon, the Cape Cod watch finds its way through the years with a light- hearted attitude, freely and joyfully undergoing successive transformations. Two new feminine 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.
