The 12 months was 1937. Robert Dumas, son-in-law of Hermes’ founder Thierry Hermes, was watching boats moored alongside the Normandy coast when the form of the anchor chains caught his eye. Dumas discovered himself captivated by their easy design, consisting of a smooth, rounded oval bisected within the center with a line.
And so, a 12 months later, this motif made its means onto a silver bracelet, produced by Hermes. The Chaine d’ancre has since turn into a recurring graphic aspect for the home, making its means onto equipment, baggage and ready-to-wear. In jewelry, artistic director Pierre Hardy has been creating recent twists on the motif.
From now until Mar 3, you may view a few of Hermes’ distinctive Chaine d’ancre jewelry creations at a particular exhibition at Hermes Liat Towers. The exhibition is open to the general public.
