Hermès Cape Cod Small Model Silver Ref. CC1.250 – 1996

“When metal becomes jewellery, it tells more than it measures.”

In 1996, 925 silver was not merely a material choice for Hermès—it was a statement. In a watchmaking world dominated by stainless steel, few dared to embrace the muted gleam and living patina of solid silver. This small Cape Cod model, with its warm-toned case, embodies the brand’s pursuit of a more intimate form of luxury. Silver, a noble metal long reserved for decorative arts, carries with it a symbolism of authenticity and distinction. Unlike steel, its lustre evolves over time, telling a unique story on each wrist.

The Cape Cod was born in 1991 from the pencil of Henri d’Origny, who envisioned a square nestled within a rectangle—a direct nod to the “Chaîne d’ancre” links so dear to Hermès. This original design, now a house signature, quickly expanded into various sizes, metals, and strap styles. The silver CC1.250 version stands out for the warmth of its solid 925 case and compatibility with Hermès interchangeable straps. The present example dates from 1996, right in the golden age of this variant, when Hermès watches were becoming the ultimate accessory for connoisseurs seeking singular elegance.

This 23 × 23 mm small model in solid 925 silver is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The silver dial displays finely drawn black Arabic numerals, a hallmark of the Cape Cod, ensuring perfect legibility. Its Swiss quartz movement delivers flawless accuracy without the need for manual winding. The waterproof green lizard strap, refined and rare, adds a vibrant note that enhances the metallic sobriety of the case. Water-resistant to 3 ATM, it withstands the demands of daily life while retaining the dignity of a horological jewel. The silver Cape Cod CC1.250 naturally finds its place in an elegant wardrobe—enhancing a tailored suit, complementing a chic casual outfit, or accompanying moments of distinction. Its silver tone, paired with the deep green of the strap, makes it subtly expressive: never ostentatious, always refined.
