The Parisian luxury brand Hermès has reinterpreted its iconic “In the Pocket” timepiece for Only Watch 2015. Inspired by the “porte‑oignon” that Jacqueline Hermès received from her father in 1912, the 40 mm pocket watch features an 18 kt rose‑gold case that can be converted to a wristwatch using a handmade leather holder. It has a simple black dial with white Arabic numerals and hands, and a red minute track. The watch is powered by a Swiss automatic Vaucher (owned jointly 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 at the Only Watch 2015 charity auction, with all funds raised benefiting research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
