Hermès and Apple Come Together to Unveil a Swanky Apple Watch

In a bid to combine fashion with high end technology, Apple and Hermes have come together for the sleekest gizmo on the block – the Apple Watch Hermès.

Technology is no more confined to the somber realm of cold metal and dull greys. It has joined forces with a fashion accessory that is more than about simple aesthetics. It is an expression of the wearer’s personality, in an eternal, timeless manner. Apple now allows tech-geeks to not only make the most of its technology, but also look stylish while at it. The style and  design of the watch will also ensure the uniqueness of a piece of dressing all fashionistas crave.

Jonathan Ive, Apple’s chief design officer, comments on this union and says, “Both companies are motivated by a sincere pursuit of excellence and the desire to create something that is not compromised. Apple Watch Hermès is a true testament to that belief.”
