The story behind this Hermès Barénia
Hermès draws inspiration from its equestrian heritage when designing its timepieces. The Barénia model takes its name from the calfskin traditionally used for saddles. The BA1.510 model is distinguished by a design that lacks the classic lugs. The case is traversed by two continuous metal arches evoking the shape of a stirrup. This geometric design links the watch to the brand’s saddlery heritage and offers a minimalist display of the time.
Case, movement and strap of this Barénia
The 25 mm by 32 mm case is crafted from stainless steel. It features a matt, straight-brushed finish on the front and polished lugs. The light-coloured dial is protected by a sapphire crystal. It features a square minute track and hour markers that echo the silhouette of a stirrup. The baton hands are coated with luminescent material. A date window at 3 o’clock displays the date. The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement offering a power reserve of approximately 24 months. The ‘Force’-style strap in orange calfskin passes under the case. It fastens with a single metal collar clasp.
