Cape Cod Chaîne d’ancre锚 链腕表点缀璀璨美钻和雪花黑曜 石，以宝石之姿全新释放品牌格调 及独特魅力
1991年，Cape Cod腕表在Henri d’Origny大胆奔放的笔触下横空 出世。这位设计师原意构思一款方 形腕表，然而在天马行空的想象之 中，他恣意挥就这款“长方形中的正 方形”腕表。Cape Cod腕表融合 自由奔放与细致严谨之风，不受设 计成规约束，自在联袂各类风格。 原表壳的图案是Robert Dumas 于1938年设计的两段半截式“锚链”(anchor chain)。灵感源自 船只锚链，图案绘于Cape Cod腕 表的表盘上，呈现出层层掩映的盎 然奇趣。
今年，Cape Cod腕表再次蜕变: 镶嵌璀璨美钻并饰有雪花黑曜石( 一种灰色玻璃质火山岩)，运用喷 砂、镀金和漆面工艺，经典的锚链 表壳与丰富多样的材质和纹理相得 益彰。首款Cape Cod Chaîne d’ancre锚链腕表饰有镶嵌52颗 美钻的华贵玫瑰金表壳，雪花黑曜 石表盘别具一格，与镶嵌181颗钻石 的表链交相辉应，突出鲜明对比之 美，亦展现和谐生趣。另一款型号尺 寸较小，搭载镶钻精钢表壳，与黑灰 色调的黑曜石表盘及镶钻锚链相得 益彰。最后，第三款也是小号腕表， 玫瑰金表壳镶嵌46颗钻石，采用喷 砂镀金表盘搭配镶钻锚链，呈现匠 心独运的品牌风格。
以上新款Cape Cod Chaîne d’ancre锚链腕表搭配由爱马仕钟表工坊精制的单圈或双圈表带，依循镀金或镀铑指针的节奏，显示小 时和分钟时间。

The Cape Cod Chaîne d’ancre appears dressed in diamonds and obsidian to reveal new precious and distinctive facets of its personality.
In 1991, the Cape Cod watch was born under the bold pencil strokes of Henri d’Origny. The designer was supposed to make it a square watch. His creative freedom decided that it would be “a square in a rectangle”. Both impertinent and rigorous, the Cape Cod overturns codes and freely connects styles. Its original case is composed of two “anchor chain” half links, a motif created by Robert Dumas in 1938. The motif inspired by a boat chain is anchored on the dials of the Cape Cod and reveals a plurality of fanciful touches.
This year, the Cape Cod is once again transformed: shimmering with diamonds and carved in obsidian stone – a grey vitreous volcanic rock or sand-blasted, gilded and lacquered, its distinctive graphic shape plays with materials and textures. Hovering between contrast and harmony, a first Cape Cod Chaîne d’ancre features a precious rose gold case set with 52 diamonds, framing an obsidian dial stands out, illuminated by interlaced links set with 181 diamonds. A second, smaller model matches the tone of its gem set steel case with the anthracite shades of the volcanic dial and gem set anchor chains. Finally, a third similarly small-sized rose gold version set with 46 diamonds is distinguished by its sand blasted gold dial adorned with gemset anchor chains.
Paired with a single-or double-tour strap in Chantilly-coloured or pearl grey alligator, crafted in the Hermès Horloger workshops, these new Cape Cod Chaîne d’ancre models display hours and minutes, swept over by slender gold or rhodium-plated hands.
