Here's your first look at the stylish new Apple Watch Hermès Series 9

There are plenty of exciting features that each Apple Watch series brings. In the latest series 9, a powerful S9 SiP watch chip increases efficiency, and a new double tap gesture control feature makes the watch even more intuitive to use. But for the style mavens amongst us, a big draw of the release lies in the countless new styling possibilities it brings—and the device’s most covetable form is undoubtedly the Apple Watch Hermès Series 9.

Born of a shared commitment to combining function and aesthetics, the long-standing partnership between Apple and Hermès blends cutting-edge technology with beautiful, innovative design. The Apple Watch Hermès Series 9 is certainly a fine example of this. It has all the extraordinary functions and capabilities of the regular Apple Watch Series 9, coupled with an exclusive Hermès strap, special watch faces and an additional sport band. 

Watch straps in webbing, knit, and rubber take centre stage this season, drawing on Hermès’s rich history in textiles and demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship the maison is so known for. Two new woven bands exude effortless elegance: Toile H, a reimagining of the brand’s signature checked canvas, and Twill Jump, beautifully textured in vibrant solid colours with contrasting details. 

Meanwhile, Hermès’s equestrian roots serve as inspiration for the Bridon—the first-ever knitted strap for an Apple Watch, designed to evoke the aesthetic of a bridle—as well as the Clou de Selle. Crafted out of prized Barénia calfskin, the elegant band is a timeless homage to the maison’s equestrian leatherworking expertise. 

For those who enjoy a more active lifestyle, style meets sportswear in the Kilim. Borrowed from Hermès jewellery, the intertwined Hs of the iconic Kilim motif are recreated in matte, waterproof rubber—making for a sturdy piece that is both practical and chic. 

A classic new watch face completes the look: the Hermès Radial. Inspired by Cape Cod’s nautical flair, watch as the numerals on screen light up each time the hour hand goes by—calling to mind the stars that twinkle in the dark to guide ships after nightfall.
