Hermes Cape Cod Grand Hours

Hermes Cape Cod Grand Hours contains a modular complication with special oval-toothed wheels that allow the hour hand to seemingly move at different speeds at different times of the day. This feat allows the wearer to 'customise', in theory, which times of the day should pass by more quickly (work perhaps?) or slowly. Upon request, two staggered hour-hour time intervals can be added.

The movement allowing the splendid feature is the automatic Vaucher Caliber H 1928 with Hermès module H1, containing 32 jewels that vibrate at 28,800 vph. Energy is provided by twin spring barrels. Power reserve is estimated at 55 hours. The functions are hours with speeds that appear to fluctuate, minutes and sweep seconds.

The case is 37mm x 36.5mm with a height of 12.82mm. One may opt for a rose gold, white gold, or stainless steel casing. The face is made of sapphire crystal that is glare-proofed, a sapphire exhibition window allows the wearer to view the movement's fine craftsmanship, which include an Hermès H-pattern motif on the bridges. Water resistance is to 5 atm.

The Hermes Cape Cod Grand Hours comes in a silvered or anthracite dial. Each timepiece is teamed with a strap of hand-sewn alligator or barenia calfskin. The security deployant buckle is made from stainless steel and bears the Hermès signature.
