Title Hermès - "Croisière" Two-Tone Travel Trunk Design - CR1.240 - Women - 1990-1999 SKU 2175-c1512-00511ｰS1 Object Details * Brand: Hermès * Model: Croisière (inspired by "Cruise" or "Journey") * Reference Number: CR1.240 * Period: 1990-1999 * Movement: Swiss Quartz (Caliber 976.001) * Case Material: Stainless Steel / 18k Gold-Plated (Two-Tone) * Condition: Excellent (Minimal signs of wear, fully functional) * Strap: Integrated Stainless Steel & Gold-Plated Bracelet * Dial: White with Black Roman Numerals Description The Spirit of Travel: The Hermès Croisière Named after the French word for "Cruise," the Croisière model is a masterclass in narrative design. Its rectangular case features unique rounded corners and "bracket" lugs that mimic the brass reinforcing hardware found on the maison's iconic 19th-century travel trunks. Unlike most Hermès watches that use Arabic numerals (like the Clipper or H-Watch), the Croisière utilizes dignified Roman numerals for a more classical, d'Origny-inspired aesthetic. Key Features: * The Design: A subtle "Square-within-a-Rectangle" geometry that balances architectural strength with feminine softness. The two-tone finish provides a timeless, versatile look. * The Dial: A pristine white dial with an inner railroad track and crisp black Roman markers. The "GG" interlocking style found in other brands is replaced here by the clean, singular "HERMÈS PARIS" signature. * Swiss Craftsmanship: Powered by a high-grade Swiss Quartz caliber, ensuring that the watch is as reliable as it is beautiful. * The Bracelet: The integrated "Combi" bracelet features a seamless transition from the case, secured with a signed Hermès folding clasp. Condition Report: This piece is in Excellent condition, showing remarkably little wear for its age. * Case/Bezel: The gold plating is vibrant and intact, especially on the "trunk hardware" corners where wear usually occurs first. * Crystal: The glass is clear and free of significant scratches. * Bracelet: Excellent tension; the links remain tight and the gold-plated accents are sharp. * Functionality: Tested and keeping perfect Swiss-quartz time.
