Type: Leather cord bracelet with knot closure Brand/Maker: Signed Hermès Collection: Atame Metal: Silver-tone metal hardware (no fineness mark) Marks: HERMES Material: Brown round leather cord Clasp / Closure: Polished silver-tone interlaced knot clasp with cylindrical end caps Style: Nautical knot motif This Hermès bracelet takes the sailor's knot as its subject. Two loops of polished silver-tone metal pass through each other at the front to form an interlaced closure, and each side ends in a ridged cylindrical cap that holds a round brown leather cord. Hermès began as a harness maker, and its use of equestrian and maritime forms shows clearly here: a single knot, rendered in tubular metal with crisp angled terminals, set against the warm grain of the leather. The house signature is stamped in raised capitals along one arm of the knot, and the result is a bracelet of clean line and lasting appeal.
