Hermès Watches Shine at Watches & Wonders 2025: A Perfect Blend of Innovation and Luxury

From the Arceau Le Temps Suspendu to the Maillon Libre, Hermès Watches Prove That Timeless Elegance is Always in Style

If there’s one thing Hermès does best, it’s blending tradition with innovation. This year at Watches & Wonders 2025, the French luxury house once again proved why its watches are more than just timepieces—they’re wearable works of art. With a lineup that balances heritage craftsmanship with modern design, Hermès introduced a range of stunning wristwatches that are bound to make any collector’s heart race.

According to HypeBeast, at the forefront of this year’s showcase are three standout models: the Arceau Le Temps Suspendu, Hermès Cut Le Temps Suspendu, and Maillon Libre. Each of these watches embodies Hermès’ signature elegance while bringing something fresh to the table. Let’s break down what makes these new releases so special.

Hermès Cut Le Temps Suspendu: Sharp, Bold, and Beautiful

First introduced in 2024, the Hermès Cut collection returns with a bold statement piece: the Le Temps Suspendu edition. Encased in 39mm rose gold, this watch is all about sharp geometry and playful asymmetry—a signature of Hermès design. But the real magic happens inside, thanks to the Manufacture Hermès H1912 movement, ensuring precision and elegance.

If you love a statement piece, keep an eye out for the limited-edition red dial version, which adds a daring pop of color to this already striking watch.

Arceau Le Temps Suspendu: A Classic Reinvented

Originally launched in 2011, the Arceau Le Temps Suspendu is making a grand return—this time with a modern twist. The 42mm openworked dial gives a glimpse of the exclusive "Time Suspended" module, a unique complication that allows the wearer to literally pause time (or at least the display of it). It’s powered by the Hermès H1837 movement, visible through the transparent caseback.

Available in white and rose gold, this beauty comes in three dial colors:

Sunburst blue – for a cool, sophisticated look
Brun désert – earthy and warm
Rouge sellier – a deep red with undeniable presence

And let’s not forget the asymmetrical lugs, a signature Arceau design that keeps things interesting.

Maillon Libre: When a Watch Becomes a Jewelry Statement

For those who love their watches with a side of glamour, the Maillon Libre collection is a dream come true. Inspired by Hermès’ iconic anchor chain link, this collection blurs the line between timepiece and high-end jewelry.

What makes Maillon Libre extra special? Versatility. This collection includes:

A bracelet-style wristwatch – adorned with diamonds or a terracotta tourmaline center stone
A brooch watch – for a chic, unexpected way to wear your timepiece

Whether you wear the bracelet watch for a sophisticated night out or use the brooch as a conversation-starting accessory, Hermès proves that watches don’t just tell time—they tell stories.

Limited Edition Standouts: Rare & Collectible Hermès Watches

Beyond the main releases, Hermès also unveiled exclusive, limited-edition timepieces that serious collectors will want to get their hands on.

Arceau Rocabar de Rire: A Playful, Equestrian Twist

With only 12 pieces available, this watch is a true collector’s item. The dial features a whimsical horse illustration inspired by Dimitri Rybaltchenko’s artwork for Hermès’ silk scarves. This mischievous horse even sticks its tongue out, making this watch a fun yet elegant addition to the Arceau line.

Arceau L’Heure de la Lune: Cosmic Elegance

Also limited to just 12 pieces, this moonphase watch is a celestial masterpiece. The dials are crafted from rare materials like lunar rock, asteroid fragments, and meteorite pieces, making each watch one of a kind.

Arceau Le Temps Voyageur: For the World Traveler

Originally launched in 2022, this watch features a 24-time zone display, perfect for globetrotters. The dial showcases the Planisphère d’un Monde Équestre motif, designed by artist Jérôme Colliard, adding an extra touch of sophistication.
