Is it a square or a rectangle? The Cape Cod timepiece by Hermès poses this question. You decide what you want it to be. The 1991 iteration stays true to its aesthetic codes with a focus on the Anchor Chain, whose two half links form a case. This motif, created in 1938 by Robert Dumas, highlights Hermès’ leather craftsmanship. The second loop of the strap is shaped to reveal the anchor chain pattern in the leather. The watch has an opaline dial, Arabic numerals and Rhodium-plated hands. Calf straps come in deep blue, amber, pink and black.

A hybrid black alligator leather and rubber strap with matte black PVD-treated folding clasp and safety catch completes the look
