Special Order Watches

[Hermes Zen]

The watch customization is back as an FYI and there are options for the larger faced cape cod and the Heure 21 for the ladies. I played around with the configurator for just a couple of moments but my mind has still not stopped thinking about that you could do a black box or ebene barenia strap. Aaaaaagh!!!!

There are men's options too, the larger cape cod and then there was slim d'hermes I think.

There was also a special box that the watches would come in if you ordered his/hers. It seems the intent with this watch event is they want to encourage couples to order as a holiday gift to each other.

I have my appointment scheduled in a couple weeks. Very excited!

Thanks for sharing the black box and ebene barenia strap info! Nice!!

My sa said for women’s watches are Cape Cod in PM 23mm and GM 29mm, H Hour PM and Slim watch.

For men, Cape Cod 33mm and Slim watch.

Also if a pair of watches are ordered, a very nice wood box with name plate is included and watch engraving available like last time.

That’s all I know. I can’t wait to find out more of the details!

How exciting. Do you know if prices for these are higher than buying an already existing watch if they would be the same composition? I would of course not choose that but just to give an indication on the price level.

I feel I am missing a watch in my collection. I have the Faubourg with rose gold and diamond on the bezel with black barenia strap. I also have the H tpm in steel with diamonds on the display and a few different straps. I love alligator bracelets but the Faubourg is not interchangable so I would like a watch with rose gold or gold (either gold on steel or pure gold) but with alligator strap.

I can't speak for this time until I go to my appointment but when I placed my order last year it was the same price. My guess it's not higher. I like ordering these watches because some options are not offered at the time I ordered. My cape cod has what my sa called champagne (don't believe this is the official name but a good description) dial. Of course it doesn't mean it won't be offered later regularly.

I'd say it's worth considering and check out all the options!

Thank you so much. I am looking forward to hear more after your appointment if you don`t mind sharing. I remember from my visit to Paris 4 years ago that there for the Faubourg watch were many more options than you see on H online with both onyx and lapis lazuli dial. I saw here that there was some light pink dial and I am also interested to see the champagne dial.

I definitely will post details after my appointment in a couple weeks. I am anxious to see 'different' dials and straps offered ! Why even place an order if I can get it normally through the store or h.com.

Did you already see my posting from last year? My photos weren't the best but best I could do to capture the color dial. Here's the link to it.

I have 2 Cape Cod GM its my favourite watch. one is an older one with the H link metal strap black face. The other is white face double tour band. When I brought it it came with Hermes orange alligator double tour strap but over time I've found the strap too delicate in exotic for every day...

Thank you. Yes I saw it as I went through the thread. It is really beautiful. Is it the raspberry strap or a different pink? I have that and the blackcurrant for my heure. I have not tried the Cape Cod. I have so slim wrists so I went with the smallest models they had. When I get old I`ll need a magnifying glass for the Faubourg. So it might be fun to add something slightly larger.

My pleasure and yes the strap is raspberry/framboise. It is a beautiful color. Please do try the Cape Cod in 23mm. It is worth a try on to see if you love the size. As you saw in my photo I don't have small wrists and I wasn't sure I would like it. I do love it but this time I will go for the 29mm if I stick to the Cape Cod. Please keep us posted on what you do!

Yeah! A few stores in the US are doing a watch customization event. I believe I was told sf, dallas, and boston?

Hi, I promised to post what I discovered from my appointment. Unfortunately I had to reschedule from my June appointment but I have now gone in to take a look at the options.

Truthfully, I was not impressed. I thought there wasn't anything special to select from except if you are ordering gold/gold with diamonds. Even those I think will be offered in the future as a regular order.

Cape Cod 29 quartz faces (hopefully I recall everything) - white, black. No second hand or date version
Cape Cod 33 automatic faces - white, black, burgundy and blue

I wasn't interested in the Slim D'Hermes so didn't look at the options but from my discussion with my sa it sound like nothing different.

One thing that's nice if you do place two watch order is the special wood box with engraving plate (see my prior posting for photo), and engraving option on the watches (13 char max).

I left without placing an order and will keep thinking about it for there's more time. But why do a customization if it's not anything different than what can be ordered or purchased on h.com.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

Hi! I just placed an order yesterday for Heure H. Here are some of the photos I took that might be helpful to those who want to place an SO for the watch

 

[Hermes Zen]

My SO watch band for the Cape Cod arrived today! It took about 5 months. The leather is swift. I asked for epsom but it wasn't available per Paris office. I think it still came out great. The leather band cost $300 and the palladium hw was $100 of course plus tax. Really the cost of the SO band is same as regularly offered leather bands I have purchased. Very happy SO band didn't cost more! Thanks for letting me share. I am very happy with the turn out.

Love it! Wish they did this for Apple Watch bands. That would be a game changer!
