Hermès told us that the 'Cape Cod' watch "was born from a wild desire and a singular vision: that of a man (Henri d'Origny) who invented it by designing a square inside a rectangle." This 18-karat gold version has a Chaîne d'Ancre case inspired by anchors strewn along the Massachusetts coastline. It's set with glistening diamonds and has an elegant mother-of-pearl dial, complemented by the interchangeable 'Chantilly' alligator strap.

Each Hermès 'Cape Cod' watch comes with instructions on how to change the strap and a tool to enable you to do so.

Shown here with: Salvatore Ferragamo Coat, Proenza Schouler Pants, Loro Piana Sweater.
