As Nicole and I link got closer to our 40th birthdays, I started looking for her dream watch: an extra-large two-tone Cartier Roadster. At the same time, I reached back out to that customer, who was now a friend, and, with the help of his Authorized Dealer, I was eventually able to secure my own Sky-Dweller.

This year Hermès released a new line of 36mm sports watches powered by mechanical movements, aimed primarily at women. The Hermès Cut is smaller, rounder, and softer link than the "men's" Hermès H08. My initial read: a simple, clean, easy-to-digest (and commercially viable) watch that proves the brand's intention to keep marching full speed ahead with the growth of the category.
