Hermès Cape Cod Chaîne d’Ancre

Introducing the latest additions to the iconic Cape Cod collection, Hermès presents the Cape Cod Chaîne d’Ancre in Storm Blue and Glycine Athena. These exquisite timepieces embody the essence of Hermès craftsmanship, seamlessly transitioning between different styles with their unique anchor chain stamped lacquer dials.

Hermès is renowned for its ability to create beautiful objects that serve as the perfect companions for those who wear them. Their creations embody a sense of unexpected lightness and combine practicality with exceptional artistry. Each piece is crafted by skilled artisans who leave no room for compromise. Hermès objects transform ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences, and their watches are no exception.



The Cape Cod watch, originally conceived by Henri d’Origny in 1991, defied traditional design norms with its unconventional square-within-a-rectangle shape. Its case, composed of two half-links resembling an anchor chain, pays homage to the iconic boat chain pattern created by Robert Dumas in 1938, which has since become synonymous with the Hermès brand.



Over the years, the Cape Cod has evolved into a timeless classic, and the new women's versions, the Cape Cod Chaîne d’Ancre Storm Blue and Cape Cod Chaîne d’Ancre Glycine Athena, exemplify this transformation. Encased in a 23 x 23mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, these watches are powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement. The dials, adorned with the anchor chain motif, feature shades of delicate glycine or captivating blue, coated in tinted lacquer. The hands, elegantly designed as fine batons, sweep over the dials with grace. Complementing the overall aesthetic, the alligator or calfskin straps, meticulously crafted in the Hermès Horloger atelier, enhance the soft tones of these modern and stunning timepieces.

The Cape Cod Chaîne d’Ancre watches in Storm Blue and Glycine Athena embody the spirit of Hermès, combining timeless elegance with innovative design. Whether worn for a casual outing or a formal occasion, these watches effortlessly enhance any style, serving as a testament to Hermès' dedication to creating exceptional objects that transcend the boundaries of time.
