Introducing the Hermès Faubourg Polka Watch

The Hermès Faubourg Polka watch has an entirely redesigned bracelet consisting of interwoven dots and oblique lines, as if its curves were going off on a tangent, as if its lines were wary of excessive straightness. It thus sets the pace of time with a sense of total freedom as its lines and dots invent a new language, whose punctuation and grammar tell the tale of a far-sighted present.

Embodying a subtle blend of watchmaking and Haute Joaillerie, the Hermès Faubourg Polka watch calls upon the patiently acquired skills of the artisans who craft it.

Available in five versions – white or rose gold, gem-set or entirely paved with diamonds –, this jewellery watch draws in equal measure on fine craftsmanship and abstract art.
