The story of the Nantucket watch continues with the Chaîne d’ancre, evoking its early days.
The Nantucket watch has been forming solid attachments for almost 30 years. Its story, all about links, began in 1991, when iconoclastic Hermès designer Henri d’Origny boldly sketched the outlines of a companion to the Cape Cod watch, an equally distinctive model named Nantucket. This assertive timepiece featured a “rectangle within a rectangle”, forming an unprecedented case inspired by the anchor chain links of the Chaîne d’ancre bracelet, a Hermès classic imagined by Robert Dumas in 1938.
