High Fashion Meets High Horology
Most associate Hermès with leather goods and silk, but the house has a serious watchmaking history that began in the 1920s. The Sesame Squelette represents a period when the brand moved beyond design alone and focused on producing watches of the highest quality, both inside and out. A skeletonized watch is a statement of confidence, putting the intricate mechanics of the movement on full display. Cased in solid 18k white gold, this reference SM1.790 is a rare fusion of Parisian style and traditional Swiss watchmaking craft.
A Complete And Striking Set
This example stands apart as a complete set, including its original box and papers. It retains its original red alligator leather strap, which provides a bold contrast to the white gold case, and is fitted with the original 18k white gold deployant clasp. The presence of the original signed crown and clear hallmarks on the clasp confirms its integrity. It is a full package that captures the watch exactly as it was intended.
A Flawless Presentation
The watch is in excellent condition. The 18k white gold case, with its distinctive stepped bezel, is pristine. The skeletonized dial and its hands are flawless, offering an unobstructed view of the beautifully finished movement from every angle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Confident Collector
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the intersection of two distinct worlds. It has the mechanical credibility to satisfy a seasoned watch enthusiast and the design pedigree of one of the world's top luxury houses. The case size is classic and versatile, while the skeleton dial ensures it will always be a point of conversation. It's an understated piece that rewards a closer look, revealing layers of detail and craft.
