Hermès Boutiques Selling Exclusive Apple Watch Band Starting November 24

[MacRumors]

Starting on November 24, Hermès boutiques will begin selling an exclusive "Equateur Tattoo" Apple Watch band designed using a jungle print from naturalist artist Robert Dallet, reports Vogue's French site.

Priced at 419 euros, the band is similar to the Single Tour that Hermés has offered for several months and features the same design that's been previously used by Hermès on other products. It has a jungle leaf design in black and white, with a colorful cheetah at one side of the band.

Though Apple and Hermès have a partnership that sees Apple selling Apple Watch Hermès models with exclusive Hermès bands, the new Robert Dallet band will not be available in Apple Stores. It will be sold in limited quantities in Hermès locations and is expected to sell out quickly.

Good lord, this looks like an overpriced "Ed Hardy" band. Remember THAT?

Just wondering. What's your opinion on the actual article content? You're always so kind to let us know what's going on in the Android world. We appreciate that btw.

I'm happy with the bracelets I have. Some people might want this one.

Cheetah? Hahahahaha. The famous jungle cheetah. Looks like a leopard to me.

 

[LordQ]

Ugly.

Why can't Burberry or Tom Ford do watch bands?

 

[syntax]

Is there some unwritten rule that these exclusive watch bands have to be ugly as all heck?

 

[killawat]

Like many of the other Hermès bands, pictures won't do it justice. Yeah, its expensive but the look and feel in person (of the other bands) is unparalleled.

 

[mkeeley]

Like the Hermes watch faces, makes the watch ever so slightly less ugly. The straps on the other hand or just seem overpriced.

 

[crsh1976]

Who cares, the smart watch market is dead.

 

[zhang96]

I KNOW THERE ARE MORE NEW BANDS THAN THE MAC!

 

[KPOM]

Is this a Europe exclusive? US stores will be closed on the 24th, and Hermes isn't exactly known for running Black Friday specials.

 

[miknos]

Watch Bands is Apple's response to lack of diversification. +€400 for an ugly watch band. LOL!

 

[AccenT]

I like the band. It's so overpriced. But hey, so is Apple.

 

[Cineplex]

Ahhhh Haaaaa Ha Haaaa! WATCHBANDS! I've been waiting all month for a watch band story and here it is.

But seriously....it looks like something a hunter would buy to blend in.

 

[ThaRuler]

Finally!!! The wait is over. Can't believe it's happening!! The cheetah watchband we've all been waiting for. Woohoo!!!!

 

[Bubba Satori]

Not as useful as the emoji watch band.

 

[RadioGaGa1984]

Ugly.

Why can't Burberry or Tom Ford do watch bands?

Agreed. Some Louis Vuitton love would be nice too. Damier Graphite or Damier Cobalt would be lovely.

Well Timmy the bean-counter has a fever, and the only prescription is

more cowbands

Unparalleled and very thin.

Yeah, it's true we don't get bands like this, but I made a red-and-blue summer combo of my Huawei Watch. Planning some winter redesign though.

 

[JDHiro]

I too am curious about the availability in US stores. I live across the street from a Hermes store, so I'll be taking a look when they open on Friday.

 

[mdelvecchio]

i really can't take any post seriously that uses the "Timmy" or "bean counter". juvenile and cliche, each.

 

[v0lume4]

Yes!! This is the news I've been waiting for!

 

[341328]

Wish apple would just give apple watch owners some decent watch faces!!
