Hermès Carré H Watch Overview
Hermès has enhanced its iconic Carré H watch, originally launched in 2010, presenting a modernized edition at the 2018 SIHH Geneva Watch Fair. This version retains the signature square shape while introducing rounded details and vibrant contemporary elements such as colored seconds hands and circular inner dials. The watch is a collaboration with designer Marc Berthier, offering a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
Case and Strap Design
The stainless steel square case with rounded corners measures 38 x 38 mm and features a slightly curved profile, ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist. The strap width reaches 21 mm, enhancing wearability. Hermès provides natural and black Barénia calfskin straps that perfectly complement the dial, delivering both elegance and versatility.
Dial and Hands
The square dial incorporates a round inner dial with decorative textures, providing visual depth and approachability. Hour markers and hands have been carefully refined — embossed Arabic numerals with serifs and leading zeros for single digits maintain balance and style. The arrow-shaped hour hand and sword-shaped minute hand deliver precision, while colored long seconds hands curve to echo the inner dial. Color combinations include a gray dial with a yellow seconds hand and a black dial with a red seconds hand.
Movement and Technical Details
Visible through the round sapphire crystal case back, the H1912 self-winding movement, produced by Hermès’ Vaucher manufacture, features a beautifully decorated base plate with pearl and swirl patterns. Operating at 28,800 vph, it provides a 50-hour power reserve. The movement combines reliability with aesthetic excellence, reflecting Hermès’ dedication to watchmaking craftsmanship.
