Hermès, from saddles to bags and silk: the expansion of a dream   By Raquel Elena Hernandez Diaz Hermès the house of heritage As a fashion enthusiast, I have lately noticed that the fashion is industry is more than ever driven by spectacle, speed and social media. But among all that noise, there is one “Maison” that defies trends and what is “in”. And that is the legendary house of Hermès. To understand Hermès means understanding heritage, craftsmanship and the very soul of luxury.  Thierry Hermès, the visionaire that created a family Legacy Since 1837 The path of Hermès started in 1837, when Thierry Hermès, a harness maker, opened a small workshop in Paris. His specialty were handcrafted bridles and saddles. His excellency soon gained the admiration of Europe’s most prestigious aristocrats, as horses were the ultimate markers of power, wealth and refinement. Thierry was very meticulous in his work and he did not just make objects, but rather symbols of luxury for riders. His philosophy, very much the motto of the company still continues up to today: “make it beautiful, make it well and make it last”. Up to today, Hermès is still a family owned company, an extraordinary rarity in the world of luxury, where acquisitions and takeovers are common. By the early 20th century, Hermès began transforming the world of luxury beyond equestrian goods. Under the visionary leadership of Émile-Maurice Hermès, the maison introduced innovations we now take for granted: -the first zipper in France. -the first leather handbags designed for travel. -the iconic silk scarf in 1937. Each creation carries a whisper of equestrian universe: its silk scarves depict horses and carriages and the Kelly bag resembles a saddle shape. Hermès never forgets where it comes from and that is part of its magic. But what truly sets Hermès apart is its sacred devotion to craftsmanship. While many brands outsource or industrialise, Hermès protects the integrity of artisanal work with extreme discipline. One artisan, one bag Every Birkin and Kelly is created start-to-finish by a single craftsperson. No machine replaces their hands. No division of labour dilutes the responsibility. This means that the bag has perfect saddle stitching, hand-tinted edges and to finalize it, sometimes weeks of patient labor are needed. This is the reason why Hermès refused to expand production solely to meet demand. Scarcity is not a marketing strategy, it is actually a consequence of protecting excellence. In a world obsessed with “more,” Hermès insists on “less but better.” The Power of the Birkin and the Kelly The Birkin and Kelly bags are not only icons but truly cultural phenomena. Their stories, however, remain deeply rooted in authenticity rather than hype. The Kelly: Grace in leather Originally created in the 1930s, it became legendary when Grace Kelly used it to hide her pregnancy from photographers. Overnight, an elegant leather handbag became a timeless symbol of womanhood, grace, and quiet prestige  The Birkin: Born From a fateful meeting The Birkin bag design was born in 1984 when Jane Birkin sat next to Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight. She lamented that as a mother, she did not have a practical yet chic bag, for her milk bottles. Dumas listened, observed, sketched and a new icon entered the world. These bags are not simply accessories; they are emotional objects. They tell stories of craftsmanship, culture, and desire. They transcend seasons and generations. No logo is needed. Their silhouette is the signature. The Hermès Silk Scarf: A Poem in Print If the bags represent architectural luxury, the Hermès scarf represents artistic luxury. Printed in the maison’s workshops in Lyon, each scarf takes up to 18 months from concept to completion and 27 silk cocoons to create a single “Carré”. In addition to this, up to 40 colours applied by hand which means that wearing an Hermès scarf, is like wearing a painting. Overall Hermès has mastered the art of saying no: no to fast fashion, no to overproduction, no to trends and no to compromising quality. This quiet resistance, has created something rare: trust and prestige. The world believes in Hermès cause Hermès believes in itself.

Singer-songwriter Arlo Parks opted for the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel Pave 41mm, a perfect match for her distinctively sophisticated look. Meanwhile, actor, comedian, writer, and producer Munya Chawawa chose the Spirit of Big Bang Titanium Diamonds 39mm, a refined complement to his effortless style. HUBLOT In 1980 and for the first time, a watch dared to put a gold case on a rubber strap, turning the luxury watch world upside down in the process. Named for the porthole-shaped bezel with its exposed screws, Hublot was born and with it, the Art of Fusion. In 2005 the brand took this exercise in creative thinking to a new level with the Big Bang and its iconic design, size and layered construction case. That same year, Hublot received the Best Design award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Since then, spurred by this revolutionary mindset, the Big Bang has never stopped reinventing itself. The twenty-first century has its first watch Icon. The concept of fusion is omnipresent, the guiding principle for every collection. Big Bang timepieces reshape the geometries of time; Classic Fusion balances boldness and restraint, while the Exceptional Timepieces overwrite expectations to create unprecedented horological objects. With its disruptive approach of challenging convention, Hublot’s DNA is transcribed in the Unico, Meca-10 and tourbillon in-house movements, to add another tier of meaning to the Art of Fusion. Alchemy is ingrained into Hublot and not just at La Manufacture. Magic can take place on a football pitch, producing partnerships with major events (UEFA Champions League and UEFA EuroTM). Sometimes it happens at a concert, a basketball match, an artistic performance or at a unique gastronomic experience with Hublot’s family of starred Chefs. And so, the Hublot Vibes come to life, through shared moments of exaltation amongst the Hublotistas, its very own community of proud Hublot owners. The Art of Fusion goes beyond the tangible. It is a way of being, the Hublot way of life. BIG BANG 20TH ANNIVERSARY – A CELEBRATION OF THE BIG BANG REVOLUTIONARY MINDSET In 2005 the Big Bang marked the advent of a new era in watchmaking, more closely attuned than ever to the privileges of its name. Few timepieces have transformed contemporary watchmaking like the Big Bang. Twenty years after its launch, it remains the incarnation of a Manufacture that constantly pushes the boundaries of the unknown. Through exclusive materials and in-house movements, led by the Unico and the Meca-10, the Big Bang breaks with tradition —a notion it has never completely embraced. Singular for its bold aesthetic, plural for its versatility, this is the Big Bang.  CONTODAT Collection
“Un fil orange” Eberhard & Co. presents all the variations of CONTODAT, a collection unveiled in preview at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, encapsulating the very essence of the Maison’s sporty elegance. The collection includes CONTODAT AUTOMATIC, a “time-only” model, and CONTODAT CHRONOGRAPHE, a chronograph model. These timepieces stand out for their compact design and are the first watches among the Maison’s current creations to be conceived exclusively with an integrated bracelet. The collection draws inspiration from a timepiece dating back to the second half of the 1970s, designed by then-President Palmiro Monti, just a few years after he took the helm of the Maison in 1969. During a time of crisis for Swiss watchmaking brought about by the advent of quartz, Monti presented a mechanical chronograph with modern lines and vivid colour contrasts, featuring bright orange accents. Almost half a century later, that same gesture of courage and loyalty to mechanical watchmaking inspires CONTODAT, which revives the spirit and energy of the original model, reinterpreting its orange details — tracing a symbolic fil orange that connects past and present. “The inspiration for the CONTODAT collection stems from the desire to bring to life, in the present day with contemporary features, the spirit of a watch that represented a pivotal moment for the brand. Just as Eberhard & Co. was able to embrace the challenge posed by quartz with a highly original mechanical watch featuring unexpected touches of colour, today, in uncertain times, the same spirit has led us to create a new collection, characterized by the same energetic colour contrasts, unique lines, and a case with compact dimensions.” -Barbara Monti, CEO of Eberhard & Co. “The origin of the CONTODAT collection is rooted in a 1970s model, initially only offered as a chronograph, but it is not a mere remake. In fact, it is a completely new collection, marked by a sporty style that still maintains an aura of classicism. A true 'act of loyalty' to mechanical watchmaking, in which the brand has believed from the very beginning and continues to guide us in our vision of the future.” -Mario Peserico, General Manager of Eberhard & Co. Breguet novelties: Reine de Naples Crazy Flower and Perles Impériales The Reine de Naples is the only 100% women's collection by Breguet. For the Manufacture's 250th anniversary, two new High Jewelry versions are unveiled: the Crazy Flower and the Perles Impériales, crafted in Breguet gold for the occasion. The precious hours of the Reine de Naples Crazy Flower Like a flower sensitive to the breeze that caresses it, the diamonds in the Reine de Naples Crazy Flower move fluidly to reflect the suppleness of the wrist’s movements. The piece is directly inspired by the frangipani flower, whose yellow and white colours echo the diamonds and Breguet gold. Each piece, made to order, comes with a champagne-coloured satin-effect alligator strap fitted with a triple Breguet folding clasp, set with 28 diamonds. The Queen of Naples Crazy Flower features a total of 436 diamonds weighing 37.2 carats. Access Press Lounge Reine de Naples Perles Impériales : a tribute to the Akoya pearl The Reine de Naples Perles Impériales features a mineral composition centred on the iconic Akoya pearl. Considered the most precious of all pearls, it has a perfectly smooth, round and iridescent surface. It has been cultivated in Japan since the end of the 19th century. On the dial side, two Breguet hands made of the same gold hover over a dial set with 211 brilliant-cut diamonds and a pearshaped diamond set at 12 o’clock, with the time displayed on an noble opal base. Originating from Brazil, the Akoya pearls radiate iridescent reflections ranging from yellow to grey, passing through green, pink and blue. Four Breguet numerals and eight gold studs punctuate the hour circle. At 6 o’clock, the perfect sphere of the Akoya pearl echoes the ellipse of the case. It occupies the place of the famous ball attachment, the aesthetic signature of the Reine de Naples collection. Soft and sensual, it closes the bezel with its delicate mother-of-pearl, before opening onto a unique Breguet gold bracelet, the central row of which is composed entirely of Akoya pearls. Read also POLO XPERIENCE BY MONTE CARLO POLO TEAM on 21.11.2025 in DUBAI   TAG Heuer writes a new chapter in high-performance horology with the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1, a high-tech timepiece that continues the Swiss watchmaker’s rich legacy of precision chronographs inspired by motorsport, and one of the most complex watches it has ever created. Showcased at Dubai Watch Week 2025, this 30-pieces limited edition represents the Maison’s boldest expression of its avant-garde spirit. A VISION SHAPED BY AIR Inspired by the aerodynamic world of hypercars, the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 redefines what is possible in case design. Crafted from Grade-5 titanium using Selective Laser Melting (SLM), an additive manufacturing technique adapted from aerospace engineering, its sculpted form appears to have been carved by the wind itself. Weighing just 85 grams, the watch’s hollowed, architectural structure channels the lightness and flow of Formula 1® design. The intricate twin-layered honeycomb mesh recalls hypercar engine covers, while accents of 2N yellow goldand black DLC-coated titanium create a striking and contemporary aesthetic. At its heart beats the Calibre TH81-00, TAG Heuer’s most complex chronograph movement to date. Developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, this high-frequency automatic movement with a 65-hour power reserve delivers flawless precision and features the legendary rattrapante (split-seconds) function. Composed largely of lightweight titanium components, the TH81-00 combines strength and finesse, its checkered-flag finishing visible through the sapphire caseback as a mechanical celebration of TAG Heuer’s racing DNA. THE LEGACY CONTINUES For over 160 years, TAG Heuer has led the art of precision timekeeping, from the Heuer Mikrograph of 1916 to today’s most sophisticated chronographs. The TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 now stands as a gem of this evolution, merging heritage with the future of watchmaking. Elegant, powerful, and visionary, it embodies the spirit of innovation that defines TAG Heuer. “The TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 is a watchmaking revolution,” said TAG Heuer chief executive Antoine Pin. “Think of it this way: thanks to SLM, a watch engineer has been able to deliver a watch designer's wildest creation. The SLM manufacturing process, adapted by the TAG Heuer LAB, takes us into a new dimension, rewriting the received laws of case design. And where better to do that than in the avant-garde Monaco, which in 1969 became the world's first water-resistant square-cased automatic chronograph. The TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 marks a new dawn for a true design icon and marks the beginning of a new series of conceptual timepieces involving innovative technologies for the brand.”  CHRONOMÈTRE FB 3SPC: An exclusive series for the 75th anniversary of Ahmed Seddiqi On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Ahmed Seddiqi, an iconic watch retailer in Haute Horlogerie in the Middle East, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud pays tribute to its historic partner by unveiling an exclusive series of the Chronomètre FB 3SPC in platinum. To mark Dubai Watch Week (November 19–23, 2025) and celebrate the 75th anniversary of Ahmed Seddiqi, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud introduces a limited edition of only three pieces from its iconic FB 3SPC collection featuring a cylindrical hairspring. The Chronomètre FB 3SPC.3-4 offers exclusive finishings of both the movement and the dial. It combines a 42 mm platinum case with a peripheral inner-bezel ring in velvet-finished black lacquered brass, whose engraved minute track and Arabic numerals are highlighted in gold. The bridges and mainplate are sandblasted with an unprecedented champagne color. This subtle contrast ensures perfect legibility thanks to the 18-carat yellow gold hands. By a fortunate coincidence, this limited edition is unveiled in 2025, the same year Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud celebrates its own 10th anniversary. This double milestone highlights the strong bond between the two houses, as Ahmed Seddiqi was among the first partners to support the creation of the Fleurier workshop in 2015. A High-Precision Chronometer Inspired by the decimal watch No. 26, crafted in 1793 by Louis Berthoud, nephew and successor of Ferdinand Berthoud, the Chronomètre FB 3SPC carries forward this distinguished lineage of master chronometer-makers. The first and only wristwatch with a variable-inertia balance and a cylindrical balance-spring to be officially chronometer-certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), the Chronomètre FB 3SPC has been a hit with collectors and watchmaking professionals since its launch in October 2022. Its mechanical movement is based on a cylindrical balance-spring, an extremely rare horological speciality on which Ferdinand Berthoud himself had worked. It is the result of more than three years of research and development. Positioned at 9 o'clock, the three main escapement components – namely the balance, pallet-lever and escape-wheel – are individualised, distinct and proeminent. This space dedicated to the regulating organ enables one to appreciate how it functions and to see the cylindrical balance-spring beating throughout the three days of the power reserve, including through a large water-resistant porthole in the case middle at 9 o'clock. Launched in 2022, the FB 3SPC chronometer won the Chronometry Prize at the 2023 GPHG.

The Tourbillon Platinum completes the DANIEL ROTH tourbillon collection with a very exclusive edition that introduces a contrasting anthracite grey dial. The commanding presence of the platinum case is yet another bridge to the brand's early history, while the refined double-ellipse case represents a vision for the future.  The award-winning watchmaker gérald genta Gentissima Oursin collection expands with two bold new expressions in 41mm, elevated by blue and green meteorite dials. From the delicate blush of pink mother-of-pearl to the shadowy depths of smoky grey anthracite, from the fiery heart of opal to the profound darkness of inky black onyx, the gérald genta Gentissima Oursin collection has, since its 2024 debut, celebrated the Earth's most spectacular materials.

Thus, Lot 6 offers the only White Rabbit wristwatch ever to appear at auction — a grand-complication masterpiece ranking among the twenty most complicated wristwatches in the entire history of horology. This is the first and only opportunity worldwide to acquire the model through a public sale. As Lot 5, Ineichen will offer the original painting “A Mad Horological Party”, created by Konstantin Chaykin specifically for the White Rabbit project. Although offered separately, the two lots form a rare dual narrative where a grand-complication wristwatch and the artistic universe that inspired it appear side by side. LOT 5 — “A Mad Horological Party” (The Painting) Konstantin Chaykin has recently emerged in a parallel artistic role—as a painter whose works explore the emotional and imaginative dimensions of his horological creations. His art unites two seemingly different disciplines: — the construction of highly complex, emotionally charged, ultra-thin mechanical timepieces — and the expression of this imaginative world through fine art Origins and Concept The painting A Mad Horological Party was conceived as a metaphor for the development of the White Rabbit wristwatch. Its title references Chapter Seven of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, a chapter rich with reflections on the nature of time—a thematic foundation of the watch itself. Chaykin depicts himself at his workbench assembling the White Rabbit, surrounded by imaginative clockwork reinterpretations of Alice, the Hatter, the Dormouse, and the March Hare. None of these characters appear in their classic literary form; instead, they emerge as fantastical mechanical beings conceived entirely by Chaykin. Art Historical Context Chaykin’s approach aligns with the lineage of allegorical self-portraiture, reminiscent of:
Like these masters, Chaykin embeds himself into a world half-real, half-imagined—yet uniquely defined by horology. Preparatory Works & Artistic Continuity A Mad Tea-Party is part of a wider creative arc linked to the White Rabbit project. Earlier artworks--March Har.1, Week-Maiden, Dormouse, and especially Ahasuerus—served as thematic studies. Notably, Ahasuerus was inspired by a remarkable detail of the White Rabbit’s perpetual calendar: its main lever resembles the silhouette of a walking man. LOT 6 — The White Rabbit Pocket Watch An imaginary immersion into the surreal world of Alice in Wonderland — translated into the language of high complication. The White Rabbit, unveiled in 2025, is one of the twenty most complicated wristwatches in the history of horology, featuring sixteen complications, including the first wristwatch perpetual calendar ever created in Russian watchmaking. It is the fifth creation in Chaykin’s series of zodiac-themed wristmons, which began in 2019 with the Unique Pig, followed by the Mouse King (2020), Minotaur (2021), and other culturally layered interpretations of the Chinese zodiac. Zodiac Origins and Literary Transformation The White Rabbit was conceived in early 2023, as the Year of the Black Water Rabbit approached. Following his tradition of blending zodiac themes with wider cultural contexts, Chaykin reinterpreted the zodiac symbol through literature, transforming it into the White Rabbit of Lewis Carroll—a character defined by his obsession with time and his iconic pocket watch. The First Perpetual Calendar by Konstantin Chaykin Inspired by Alice’s remark in Chapter Seven about “a watch that shows the day of the month but not the time,” Chaykin developed a fully in-house perpetual calendar, marking:
The mechanism uses a traditional 48-segment month cam and main switching lever, enhanced with two major innovations:
A Project That Grew Beyond Itself What began as a perpetual calendar rapidly expanded. By early 2023 Chaykin had added:
He then introduced the idea of a reversible, transformable case and the poetic Suspended Time function. The project continued evolving “until a sense of sufficiency emerged,” as Chaykin later wrote. With sixteen complications, the White Rabbit approaches the complexity of Chaykin’s Stargazer (17 complications) and surpasses it in component count: 691 parts. Suspended Time — “Time of a Mad Tea-Party” Pressing the left-side pusher instantly moves both pupil-discs to 6:00, freezing the time and creating a surreal cross-eyed expression—an homage to the Mad Hatter’s eternal tea-party where “it’s always tea-time.” This mechanically rare poetic complication visually embodies Wonderland’s surrealism. Reversible, Transformable Case — 169 Components The titanium case is both reversible and convertible between wristwatch and pocket-watch form. It incorporates:
With 169 components, the case alone surpasses the complexity of many complete calibres. Haute Horlogerie Movement Finishing Calibre K.34-1 features hand-finished details including:

Two independent houses who aren’t afraid to shake things up. Honoring tradition and adding a grin. We break the mold, stir the myth and make you smile while thinking twice. Our new character is the Unfrogettable. It’s more than a face; we went beyond the dial, the hands, the crown. We’ve done tourbillons. We’ve done complications. So, this time, we reworked the case, shaped new surfaces in titanium and designed a strap made from the same lacquered leather once used in samurai armor. Every detail has meaning. The frog, in Russian tales, is a spell in disguise. In Japan, it symbolizes luck and resilience. Put them together and you get a hybrid, a frog with a warrior’s heart. This watch is playful and a little crazy, yes, but behind the mischief is serious horology. It’s a full story told through mechanical craft, with a twist.” Manuel Emch Wa t c h fa c t s t h a t m a t t e r - H o ri z o n t a l re g u l a t o r d i s p l a y with rotating eye discs that follow time with a stare. - R e w orked c a se: slimmer, smaller and forged in Grade 5 titanium: 40mm wide, just 12.45mm thick. - D e tails with a w ink: crown at 12 o’clock (because it’s a princess after all) and a hidden love note: Louis Erard ❤️ Konstantin Chaykin. - Arm or, n o t j ust a s t rap: Made of Himeji Kurozan leather, hand-rubbed and Urushi-lacquered. - 178-p i e c e l i m i t e d e d i t i o n: Available from November 2025 W h y a F ro g ? In Russian folklore, the frog hides a spell, a secret, a soul: humble outside, full of hidden power. In Japanese legend, the frog (kaeru) stands for luck and resilience, a small creature capable of great change. It’s also a good-luck charm. The samurai? A symbol of discipline, strength and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Put them together and you get something wild: a hybrid creature, hopping between cultures, armed with wit and willpower. A regulator with wide eyes. A frog with a warrior’s heart.
