Hermes Celebrates the new Faubourg Manchette

Touted as a “fresh take on everyday feminity”, the Hermes Faubourg – unveiled at Baselworld last year – picked up great points for its miniature 15.5mm case and slender bracelet. Its newest guise, the Faubourg Manchette, combines that femininity with bursts of feel-good colours. A slightly larger 19.5mm case, in steel or rose gold, sits in the middle of a cuff-like calfskin or alligator bracelet, which is designed as an ode to Hermes’ beginnings as a maker of saddles and harnesses.
