Hermès’s beloved anchor chain has appeared on countless of the brand’s products. So it makes sense that in envisioning a new way to wear a watch, the company would return to this motif. In the Maillon Libre, or free link, the resulting timepiece takes the form of a brooch or a pendant. Looking at it during the fair, we wondered if anyone out there might be brave enough to use it as a keychain.
After all, it was born of a desire to replicate the legion of past watches that were designed to be worn in multiple ways. This one, with its playful attitude and elegant craftsmanship, has “bag charm" written all over it.
