The house added a dash of humor to its latest metièrs d'art timepieces.
The replica of “Story” dials represents an expression of the “all-digital” world, according to Hermès. The scarf was designed by British designer John Burton. He reinterprets the uses of social media and “the singular art of staging, an offbeat universe depicted beneath the gaze of various fauna amused by the selfie exercise,” according to a brand statement.
It is limited to 24 pieces and priced at $63,200.The focus of the second piece is a tiger composed of wood marquetry, including 290 individual pieces cut from tulipwood, plum, ash-olive, maple and sycamore. The artisan begins by carefully selecting pieces of wood according to type, grain, color and texture, after which it takes five days to assemble the tiger, including eyes made of turquoise. The tiger is surrounded by butterflies, a hummingbird, a peacock and a turtle in a bowler hat.
