Hermès watches

Hermès was founded in Paris in 1837, when Thierry Hermès opened a saddlery workshop. The company is still controlled by his descendants.

Its watches are made by La Montre Hermès, a subsidiary set up in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, in 1978. In 2006 Hermès took a 25% stake in the movement maker Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, an existing supplier, and it later bought the dial maker Natéber (2012) and the case maker Joseph Erard (2013). Watch collections include Arceau, Cape Cod, Slim d'Hermès, H08 and Cut.
