Wearables: Apple And Herms Continue Their Partnership With Four New Watch Straps

March 21, 2017

Back in 2015, Apple and?Herms made serious waves by announcing a major partnership to create special?Herms straps for Apple Watches and to retail them in select?Herms boutiques. Well, it looks like the special edition Watches are a hit and?Herms and Apple are continuing the partnership with yet another collection of seasonal offerings. We've got the first live photos of the four new straps that you'll find anywhere, along with all the details. The latest Herms straps match the current spring/summer 2017 collection. The new collection includes four straps, two for 42mm watches and two for 38mm watches. The larger watches get the simpler Single Tour style, in both Colvert Swift leather and Lime Epsom leather. The former is a rich blue and the latter a bright greenish yellow, both have matching stitching, and both retail for $339. For the smaller Watches, there are a Double Tour in Bleu Zphyr and a Double Buckle Cuff in the classic Fauve Barenia leather, retailing for $489 and $689, respectively. These colors are all taken from the Herms spring/summer 2017 collection and it looks like we'll continue to get seasonal updates to this partnership. The straps are available today in 17 countries and can be purchased via apple.com or hermes.com.?Here are the very first live photos of all four new straps. 42mm Single Tour In Colvert Swift Leather 42mm Single Tour In Lime Epsom Leather 38mm Double Tour In Bleu Zphyr Epsom Leather 38mm Double Buckle Cuff In Fauve Barenia Leather Bonus!
