Hermes Tie Pattern Watches

Meeting with Hermes recently I asked them "why don't you put some of your iconic tie patterns on watch dials?" The person I was speaking with smiled and said "let me show you something." Apparently someone at Hermes had the same idea. What timing... Even though Hermes has been making watches for a while, it seems like this idea is recent for them.

I was shown a handful of limited edition high-end watches with what I believe are enamel dials. Hermes is known for creating repeating patterns using graphical images as opposed to mere abstract shaped. They do this so well, that the majority of their men's ties have such patterns on them. Most men with any taste have at least one Hermes tie in their collection given their charm and popularity. Finally, these great designs are finding there way to watches dials. If successful, this experiment should lead to more permanent watches like this.

The patterns needed to be enlarged a bit. No point in having the design be so small that you can't see what you are looking at. So Hermes wisely places a few of the major shapes in the watches, but you get the idea of how well they work as a repeating pattern. Give Hermes' equestrian origins, the first of these watches all have horse head patterns. The above watch is placed in an Hermes men's Arceau watch case and has small, repeating horse heads in various blue tones. Click below to "READ MORE" and you can see two more watch in Hermes men's Cape Cod cases that have larger, more distinct horse head patterns. I understand that each is taken from actual Hermes ties. These luxury watches are likely in gold, and highly limited. Priced accordingly, and available in very limited quantities soon.

Mood Light Flat Tiles

Filed under: Decor

It seems like we might run out of wall space before we run out of great things to decorate them with.

We have already heard about color-changing wall paint, but what about a color changing wall? Mood Light Flat Tiles conceal LED lights that can create a dazzling multi-colored display - or a soothing one - in your home. The red, blue and green color settings can be adjusted to create any color you can think of, and the unit comes with a remote control that allows you to define your own light pulses and patterns in addition to the preprogrammed patterns. The tiles are just under 3" thick, so using them will not cut dramatically into the amount of useable space in the room, and they combine almost seamlessly to cover large and small areas. Each 19.7"x19.7"2.8" tile is $629.
