Style and function on your wrist

This week, Apple announced its new lineup of products, including the iPhone 11 and flagship iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. Along with the launch, the Apple Watch gets an update with the Apple Watch Series 5, which includes a new collection for Apple Watch Hermès.

Showcasing the impeccable style and sophistication of the French maison, the new designs include Dark Art, which features an entirely black dial in a space black stainless steel case, paired with a black Hermès strap and buckle.

But the Della Cavalleria is definitely the eye-catcher which comes in three colour-ways—encre, étain, and brique—printed with the Della Cavalleria scarf design. The monochromatic dial adds to the contrast and intensity of the creation.

Operating on the watchOS 6, the new Apple Watch now offers an 'always on' retina display that never sleeps, but intelligently preserves energy for an 18-hour battery life. This is due to its “low-temperature polysilicone and oxide display (LTPO), ultra-low power display driver, efficient power management integrated circuit and new ambient light sensor”.

Navigation features have also been enhanced, with a built-in compass, improved maps app, and a new compass app that indicates heading, incline, latitude, longitude and current elevation.

The health and fitness optimised operating system sees new features, such as cycle tracking, to record menstruation cycles; noise app, to indicate unhealthy noises levels; and activity trends. There’s also an International Emergency Calling function that works with fall detection to make emergency calls.

Apple Watch Hermès Series 5 is available for order on hermes.com and apple.com from September 10, and in selected Hermès and Apple stores from September 20 in Singapore.
