hr: Watches

According to other watches, time is regular. It moves at a steady pace, never faster, never slower, and is controlled by no one. It is precise in its regularity, constantly moving at a set pace no matter how hard we wish it to slow down or speed up.

But time, as we know it, isn’t as regular as it is. Sometimes it seems to move so fast, too fast that we hardly have enough of it. Then there are moments that it slows down to a crawl and we were left watching its slow progress, teasing us, torturing us with its deliberate slowness.

Finally, here’s a watch that presents us with time exactly as we perceive it. Time’s irregularity is perfectly captured in the Hermes Cape Cod Grand Hours watch. Now, it is entirely possible to see time slow down or speed up. With the ability to see time like how we sense it, Hermes has given us a visual representation of our feelings regarding time.

This was made possible by the smart use of oval-toothed wheels inside the watch’s mechanism, affecting only the hour hand’s movements. The hour hand accelerates, and then slows down. It waits sometimes, yet it flies ahead on occasion. To cater to the changing speeds of this hand, the number representing the hours on the dial are spaced out irregularly. The minute and second hands are still the same though, regular, never missing a beat.

This unique way of portraying time is encased in a delectable shape and form. The Cape Cod Grand Hours watch looks as good as any expensive watch out there. It holds it own in the design department, and the way it makes time dance gives it the uniqueness it needs to have its own identity. Beautiful, alluring, and unique, it has the right qualities to be considered a masterpiece. Take time for a spin with the Cape Cod Grand Hours watch.
