Hermès Now Sells $1,250+ MagSafe Chargers Wrapped in Calfskin Leather

Luxury brand Hermès has a new series of MagSafe-compatible chargers for the iPhone and Apple Watch, with prices that are higher than the cost of an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The $1,250 Paddock Solo Charger is a magnetic charger that works with a single device, while the $1,750 Paddock Duo can charge an Apple Watch and iPhone at the same time. The $1,750 Paddock Yoyo is also a dual charger, but it has a USB-C cable that wraps around the charger for travel purposes.

Hermès also has bundles that pair the chargers with a Grand Paddock or Petit Paddock case, with prices ranging from $3,725 to $5,150.

Each of the charging products has an H logo over the magnetic charging spot for alignment purposes, and they've been "meticulously encased in Swift calfskin" with saddle stitching.

While these chargers cost thousands of dollars, Hermès took a cue from Apple and did not bundle them with a power adapter. Each charger requires a 20W or higher power adapter, but the company does throw in a free 3.3-foot USB-C cable. Apple stopped offering power adapters starting in 2020.

Hermès is a longtime Apple partner, and has designed Apple Watch bands to be sold with the Hermès-branded Apple Watch models since 2015.

Apple sells Hermès Apple Watch models and bands, but it is not offering the new Hermès chargers.

The Apple Watch charger can’t even be propped up, which is something my MagSafe Duo, which is the 10th of the price, can do.

that pricing is obscene ...
If you have that $$$ sitting around and are into this fashion, by all means ...
 
This kind of thing really cheapens the Hermes brand.

I can understand someone (with the money to do so) splashing out on a high-end handbag. If well-looked after they can maintain and even appreciate in value, and can last a lifetime. Sure it's conspicuous consumption by the wealthy - but that's nothing new. It's no more crazy than splashing out on other fashion accessories like jewellery.

However, this is a charger. It's an electronics item that's probably going to last a few years at best. Buying it isn't an investment in a quality product for life. It's just burning money to show that you're so wealthy that money no longer has any meaning. That's frankly just tacky.

People buying this are on the waiting list to get a Birkin handbag. You don’t just order one online. Your sales rep has to “invite” you to buy one.
