Hermès Nantucket Ladies Watch
Introduced in 2021, the Hermès Nantucket Ladies Watch embodies the brand’s iconic aesthetic, combining jewelry craftsmanship with classic watchmaking. Inspired by the historic “Chaine d’Ancre” anchor chain, the design gracefully extends from the case into the bracelet, creating a seamless, sculptural silhouette around the wrist.
Design Origins of Hermès Nantucket
Originally designed in 1991 by Hermès Artistic Director Henri d’Origny, the Nantucket watch draws its identity from the anchor chain motif first sketched in 1938 by Robert Dumas, the fourth-generation leader of Hermès.
Its distinctive rectangular case framing a square dial creates a unique architectural balance rarely seen in traditional ladies’ watches.
Case, Size & Materials
The latest Hermès Nantucket Ladies Watch retains its refined proportions of 17mm × 23mm, making it ideal for slender wrists while maintaining strong visual presence.
It is available in two core case materials:
- 18K Rose Gold
- Stainless Steel
The rose gold model showcases a more classic jewelry aesthetic, while the steel version delivers a slightly modern, sport-luxury character.
Diamond Versions: Elegant vs Contemporary
The rose gold diamond version features a bezel set with 186 brilliant-cut diamonds. Its white mother-of-pearl dial is designed with minimalist two-hand display, enhanced by anchor-chain styled numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock, plus two diamonds placed at 3 and 9 o’clock.
The stainless steel diamond version interprets the sparkle in a more dynamic way. The diamonds cascade from one side of the case onto the dial in an asymmetrical composition. The case is set with 55 diamonds (0.21ct) and the dial with 35 diamonds (0.09ct), creating a subtle yet expressive shimmer effect.
Non-Diamond Versions & Movement
For those who prefer a cleaner look, Hermès also offers both rose gold and stainless steel versions without diamonds. These models emphasize pure geometry and design clarity.
All Nantucket models are powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, ensuring precision and fuss-free everyday wear.
