Hermes is popularly known for its saddle-stitch and it shares a long, although a subtle, relationship with the horology world. Hermes watchmaking business was bought to notice when Emile Hermes' daughter, Jacqueline was seen wearing a pocket watch on her wrist that was equipped with a special and unique strap made by the in-house saddle making and leather artisans.
In the year 1928, the Hermes store that was located at 24, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, introduced its very first Hermes watch. It was then, that they extended their business in the field of watchmaking and the Hermes watch was offered with the Hermes signature and armed with mechanisms that were created by the greatest Swiss watch brands.
Hermes took its own time to establish Hermes watch business. It was only after a period of 50 years, in 1978, a branch for watchmaking was created for the department of La Montre Hermès in Bienne, which is located at the very heart of the Swiss watch industry. Since the foundation of this branch, Hermes has continued to develop its selection of Hermes watches along with consecutively incorporating its horological skills.
In 2003, Hermes came with a unique watch collection that was regarded as the Hermes Dressage watch. This selection of Hermes watches was furnished with a movement that was manufactured by Vaucher, and since then the focus of La Montre Hermès also reflected its interest in the field of producing and developing its own watch movements. To further initiate this idea, Hermes in 2006 established a workshop that was exclusively built for the making of leather watch brands, therefore Hermes became the only industry that crafts and creates its own watch straps.
