Hermès' theater of mechanics at watches and wonders 2026

www.designboom.com: At Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, Hermès frames time as a performative medium, staging its latest horological releases within a kinetic scenography by Jean-Simon Roch. Conceived as a mobile installation where watchmaking mechanics interact with theatrical machinery, the project positions movement as narrative. Within this shifting environment, the maison unveils three new skeleton timepieces: Hermès H08 Squelette, Arceau Samarcande, and Slim d’Hermès Squelette Lune, each exposing its inner workings like apertures into a hidden temporal world.
