Designed by Philippe Mouquet, the Kelly2 watch evokes the jack on the famous Kelly bag. The watchcase draws its inspiration from the strap plate, which was once used in the harness of carriage horses. The origin of its shape, as well as the tour nails which decorate the top of the model, is influenced by the way the plate was riveted to the harness leather. The same tour nails decorate the case of the Kelly2, Lengthened and bevelled at 12 o'clock. It’s dial has hour and minute hands and two bevelled numerals, a "12" and a "6", summing up the hours. Straps are available in several varieties of Hermès leather and in a range of colours, either single or double.

Time is limitless for Hermès

The Hermès' watch making tradition dates back to the 1920s when the company began to apply its renowned saddle making skills to crafting fine leather straps for timepieces that perfectly expressed the spirit of the House. Thus watch making became an integral part of Hermès' business, long before the jewellery, silk scarves and fragrances for which it is now celebrated all over the world. For many years, Hermès sold watches that were created and produced by the most prestigious manufacturers, until in 1978 it set up its own watch manufacturing plant in Biel (Switzerland), called La Montre Hermès S.A. Located in the heart of the traditional Swiss watch making area, it benefits from the wide-ranging expertise that has made this area famous. Its unique Parisian creativity has given rise to a great many new, exciting models and ensured the company's steady development over the years. Hermès watches are available in steel, gold and steel or solid gold with either matching metal bracelets, or with stitched leather straps in the tradition of the famous Faubourg Saint-Honoré House. The dials have played an important role in Hermès' success story because of their unique and original shapes. The back of each watch is engraved with Hermès' distinctive ex-libris signature. Hermès embodies the spirit of a world where only the exceptional finds expression and where each object tells a different story - is timeless and unique.
