Valentine's Day: The Temps Suspendu d’Hermès

It's a poetic piece, concealing some phenomenal horological mastery under a pristine dial. "Le Temps Suspendu" also introduces its owner to the world of Hermès, where luxury is genuine, everything is done to perfection and there are no loose ends, where quality is self-evident and buttressed by a tradition that is so powerful it doesn't even need to be discussed.And the message is perfect for the feast of lovers.Stopping time, offering a moment away from the hours and minutes that keep ticking away, stopping time to live in the moment and stretch it out as much as possible.

Hermès Le Temps Suspendu

The watch was introduced in 2011. It has since appeared in several versions, either with a new case, or a retrograde date that replaced the small seconds at 5 o'clock.But in the end, it is really the mechanism imagined by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht that gives it its power of seduction. All you need to do is press a pusher for the hands to frame the 12 o'clock numeral, showing an impossible time, the hour hand is just before and the minute hand just after the middle of the day ... or night. Pressing the pusher a second time returns the watch to normal time. Jean-Marc Wiederrecht was also the author of the "Pont des amoureux" at Van Cleef & Arpels, another option for Valentine's Day.
