Hermes Cape Cod Review

Hermes; It is known worldwide for its luxury leather products such as handbags, wallets and belts, perfumes and luxury silk scarves. That's why most people don't associate the brand with luxury watch collections, but actually they should. Today we'll be reviewing one of the brand's larger and more popular collections, the Hermes Cape Cod.

One of the features of the Cape Cod that definitely deserves to be mentioned is the case shape. So I'm talking about something beyond the rounded rectangular case shape. While this is the single most distinctive feature in the design, a more practical aspect of the case emerges when you look at the profile of the watch. The back of the case has a curve that adapts to your wrist, which offers extremely comfortable use.

Another notable signature feature of Hermes' Cape Cod watches is the font used on the dials. It's not a conventional font, and the round-edged Arabic numeral style fits perfectly with the rounded rectangular case shape.

The watch seen just above this article is the Hermes Cape Cod TG, a mid-sized women's quartz model with a case size of 29 mm x 29 mm. It uses a perfectly crafted Double Tour strap that wraps twice around the wrist; Exactly the kind of quality you would expect from a brand like Hermes.

Although most of the watches in the Cape Cod collection are sized for women's wrists, the collection also includes a few men's watches. A good example of this is the Cape Cod Automatic Large TGM, which uses Hermes' in-house H1912 automatic movement. This is the only size with an automatic mechanism. All other sizes work with quartz mechanism.

A distinctive feature of mechanical Hermes Cape Cod watches is their guilloche textured dials. This is a raised waffle pattern stamped on the center of the dial and looks like a miniaturized version of thetapisseriedials found on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore watches.

TGM is the abbreviation of très grand modèle, which means "very large model" in French. The case size of this large Hermes Cape Cod Automatic is 36.5 mm x 35.4 mm. While a watch with a round case shape is considered quite small in this size, it looks larger on the wrist thanks to the shape of the case. The mid-sized Cape Cod watch is called Cape Cod GM; This is the abbreviation of grande modèle, which means large model in French. The case size of this one is 29mm x 29mm. Small Hermes Cape Cod watches are 23 mm x 23 mm in size and are called Cape Cod PM, which means petite modèle, that is, small model.

These double-wound watch straps have become an increasingly common trend at Hermes and appear in many collections, such as the Hermes Kelly watch collection, the H Hour collection, the Cape Cod Tonneau watch series and, of course, the Cape Cod watch collection we reviewed here.

Hermès has already proven that it is capable of producing movements in-house. Good examples of this would be the Hermes H1912 caliber found in the Hermes Carré H series and the Hermes H1925 caliber found in the Hermes Arceau Squelette Automatic TGM series.

The dials in the Hermes Cape Cod Collection vary depending on the sub-series. While the automatic model seen above has a square-shaped textured guilloche dial positioned in the center and a printed seconds track displayed on an inner chapter ring, this is rare; because most of the watches in the collection have a plain and simple dial color. Some high-end women's models have a beautiful mother-of-pearl dial, and many models offer diamond-set cases with diamond hour markers.

When it comes to straps and watch bands, the Cape Cod collection; It offers a variety of strap types using many different materials, from calfskin to crocodile leather, and even stainless steel mesh bracelet options in a few models.

Time and time again, Hermes has proven its ability to design and produce creative and ultra-stylish timepieces, all with the best leather straps you're likely to find. A replacement "Double Tour" Hermes watch strap of the type seen on this watch costs about XXX.

Like many of Hermes' leather products, watches fitted with leather straps often come in subtle and vibrant colors such as royal blue, magenta, teal, purple, orange, yellow and soft pale pink, while many other watches feature more sober tones on their straps, such as black, brown and even dark blue.

In summary, this is a very special watch collection that offers something for almost everyone. Click below to browse the entire collection.
