Hermes introduced its Hermes brand watches in 1928 working closely with the some of the greatest names in Swiss watchmaking. In 1978, the company founded La Montre Hermes SA, to produce watches in Switzerland and distribute watches to all Hermes stores. The Arceau, a watch inspired by the shape of a stirrup, was introduced in the same year. Hermes introduced new watch styles over the years, including the Medor in 1993, H-Hour in 1997 and Cape Cod in 1998. 

In 2003, Hermes introduces its most elegant watch line — Dressage — which contains a Manufacture Vaucher movement. In 2006, Hermes acquires a 25% stake in Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, a highly regarded Swiss watchmaker, ensuring that Hermes’ watches in terms of precision, movement, etc. rank among the best in the world.

In 2015, Hermes partnered with Apple and introduced the Apple Watch Hermes, a variation of the Apple Watch with a face designed in the style of some of Hermes iconic watches, notably the Cape Cod and Clipper, and leather bags handcrafted by Hermes.  The Apple Watch Hermes brings watchmaking into a new direction consistent with the evolving technology needs of today.
