A Witty Watch…Hermes Cape Cod Grandes Heures

A Witty Watch…Hermes Cape Cod Grandes Heures

Watches don’t have a sense of humor right?

I mean, it’s not like time speeds up or slows down does it? Let’s be serious here.

Hermes recently announced the Hermes Cape Cod Grandes Heures.

What’s so cool about this watch?

Well, other than the fact it comes from the Luxury House of Luxury Houses.

It’s designed to allow you to take time to sort your priorities.

It works like a normal watch but (depending on the face you choose) the hours speed up and slow down.

There are 3 different dials/versions you can choose from

This mechanical self-winding movement, equipped with a sophisticated mechanism of toothed oval wheels, drives a variable-speed hour hand and a 42-hour power reserve.

Your watch will always show …

    You’ll Never Guess…

    What can be found an estate sale…

    I mean I guess you could guess right? You’re more than likely to find an old Hermes watch than a piece of lunar rock.

    Did I buy this?

    No, I probably should’ve. My Mom deserves it but, knowing her she would rather have a new pair of running shoes.

    This watch is from 1930′s. Wait the what?!

    Is this like Nucky Thompson’s watch? Or that weird French lady that runs the shop that doesn’t really have a French accent?

    It’s amazing how long quality can last. (It still amazes me that Hermes is family and privately owned.)

    Anyone care to guess how much this was going for?

    Good guess…$200 I know I’m …
