The Parisian luxury brand Hermès has reinterpreted its iconic “In the Pocket” timepiece for Only Watch 2015. Inspired by the “porte-oignon” given to Jacqueline Hermès by her father in 1912, the 40mm pocket watch features a case in 18kt rose gold that can be converted to a wristwatch thanks to a handmade leather holder. It has a simple black dial with white Arabic numerals and hands, along with a red minute track. The watch is powered by a Swiss automatic Vaucher (owned by Hermès and Parmigiani) in-house caliber H1837 with 32 jewels, 28,800 vph, and a power reserve of 50 hours. The Hermès In the Pocket will be sold during the Only Watch 2015 charity auction, with all funds raised benefiting research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
