I have my eye on the Single Tour, for the record.
It's a feminine design that looks great on the right woman. I like the étain and think they should offer it in the Single Tour.The double wrap band is hideous. The watch face looks great.
$1250 for a genuine Hermès is a steal. I'm just hoping that I'm not in line behind a bunch of poseurs. I might also pick up a scarf for my mother as a birthday gift while I'm there.I'm thinking about it.![]()
The traditional fauve.
Have you spoken with anyone at Hermès Madison?
I called Hermès in the Miami design district and they told me they wouldn't have them until November because they were relocating. I've yet to speak to anyone at Hermès, an Apple Store, or at Apple customer service who knows anything about this offering.
I have not. I did note that the Hermès website says sales start 10/5. I did sign up for the email alert. I'll give them a call, but 4 Apple Stores in NYC also will carry the watch. I'm assuming that I'll find it somewhere. Worst case I'll ask a NYC colleague to make a straw purchase for me.![]()

I'll save the hassle:
Poster #1: "Has Apple clearly stated that the Double Tour is a ladies band?"
Poster #2: "Your view on what's feminine vs. masculine is purely opinion."
Poster #3: "If you're a guy and like it, then get it. You shouldn't care what others think."
Blah, blah, blah, it's the Modern Buckle all over again![]()
This. Sell it to me separately (and gimme the watch faces).I just want the single tour strap to go with my SS Watch.

Wife says she's getting one... we have SBSS already, and she's planning on keeping that to wear at work/while in uniform. I don't see the need, honestly... especially if she's not going to sell the other one. Here's hoping for an Omega or Movado collaboration.
Side note: I wonder if we'll see Hermès edition wearers using any of the standard watch faces. Seems pointless, no? Maybe not, if all one really wanted was the strap/band.
Makes sense... I was thinking more along the lines of officially "licensing" the faces. I think you're absolutely correct that any other collabs will be more fashion/band related. I can already see a Burberry version on the horizon.I don't see Omega ever collaborating and here's why. Omega has one of the best movements in the world. When you think Omega you think movement - their faces and their bands are secondary. Way down the list secondary.
Movado is more of a fashion watch - not much in the way of precious metals or advanced movements. It does have a signature face, however ... but round.
I think in the way of collaboration you're going to see it done with companies for whom watches are a secondary product ... an accessory. Other leather goods companies like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Coach, etc. Perhaps a jewelry manufacturer like Tiffany & Co. that would feature a sterling silver band.
But if a company's first (or only) product is watches I can't see them doing this.

You KNOW it's coming. With Angela onboard, that's a given. Hell, Burberry has an Apple Music channel, for God knows what reason. Burberry, Coach, LV... I can, at the very least, see band collections coming - if not the entire package.If they make a Burberry canvas band that's their classic check I will be all over that.
