In a literal translation of the concept of the flagship, this schooner under full sail represents the brand’s historic boutique at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris—the good ship Hermès. Crafts include engraved yellow gold and miniature painting against an aventurine background. For fun, a star at 4 o’clock spins with the wrist movements. It is based on a scarf design by Dimitri Rybaltchenko and represents “the poetic universe navigating between the imaginary and the real." Rose gold, gemset $99,200. White gold gemset: $144,200. 12 pieces each.
