Hermes watches - Official Thread

I think the watches with diamonds are so beautiful. It’s so discouraging to see their value decline by 50% when you walk out of the store. I go back and forth because I don’t sell my jewelry or watches, but it’s reassuring to know that all of my non~Hermes pieces have retained their value.
I tend to agree with you, and it's a shame because I find some of their high-end watches and jewelry to be very beautiful and well-made, but their resale value is really bad. As you said, you don't need to look at resale value, but it feels good to buy things that keep their value for a long time.
 
I figured the Martian version would cost that much. As much as I love this watch, I can't justify spending that amount of money just for the sake of a rare dial material, but that's me.

I do love Hermes, and I think they have some really amazing watches with some of the best dials in the industry. My only grip is that they are trying to compete with the big names, but they don't want to have better-finished movements for their high-end watches. It's like the equivalent of having a Birkin made using a sewing machine.

I understand; I’m glad we obtained one before the price is as high as now.
 
Ordered last year, I recently picked my Arceau Le Temps Voyageur. This world timer was the 2022 GPHG winning timepiece (along with the men as well). It’s a complicated watch made so easy to use. :smile:

Hello! Such a lovely watch. Do you mind sharing the price of this watch? And is this something you mentioned to your SA to put you on a wishlist for? Thank you!

Can anyone share their thoughts on the Hermès after-sales service/care for timepieces?

My husband is very interested in the H08 after playing with it during a recent watch event, and I'm thinking about getting it for him for his birthday + anniversary present.

Thanks!

Thank you. It was around $25k. My husband placed an order after he saw it at the watch event fall 2021. We were told the wait would be 2 years but it arrive last month.

You can just let your SA know if you are interested in getting one. I know someone who just ordered one a few weeks ago. There is a wait as they need to make them.

I like the H08. Unfortunately my wrists are too small for it, so I convinced my husband to get one for himself. It will make a nice birthday + anniversary present. :smile:

The only time we’ve sent a watch in for service so far was for the Arceau L'Heure De La Lune. The time was fine but the moonphase didn't seem to be working. It went to back to Geneva and return after several months.

Thanks so much! He ordered the green one to try, which should arrive in store around Sept. Hopefully it works out :smile:. Does your husband like it? My husband has a pretty varied collection, so this would be a fun addition.

If your husband likes watches overall, he probably will like the H08. My husband do like it very much; it is also a fun watch for him. Luckily our SA got him the Madison store opening edition… it‘s in yellow to represent the taxi cab. It brings a smile to my face every time he wears it.. so bright and cheery. :smile:

We saw the Madison limited edition in our store last year too - such a fun color combo. Thanks again for your insight!

If you're a fan of the Madison LE watch, you definitely don't want to miss out on the new H08 in yellow. It has just been released, and it's absolutely stunning!

Have you bought it already? I know these were just announced in April and it also comes in blue and green aside from Orange and Yellow.
