Introduction This is a Hermes Harnais wristwatch, a distinctive timepiece that captures the essence of the storied French maison. Known worldwide for their exceptional craftsmanship in leather goods, Hermes brings that same artisanal expertise to their watchmaking, and the Harnais model is a perfect example of this heritage - featuring an integrated leather cuff strap that recalls the brand's equestrian roots. Historical & Collector Value Hermes began producing watches in the 1920s, and by 1978 established La Montre Hermes in Bienne, Switzerland, to focus exclusively on horology. The Harnais collection stands out for its unique design philosophy, where the case is nested within a wide leather strap resembling a piece of fine saddlery. This model, with its saddle-stitched cuff-style band, embodies Hermes' equestrian DNA and appeals to collectors who appreciate design that transcends conventional watchmaking. As a discontinued reference, examples in good working order are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
