With its signature silhouette and iconic padlock closure, Hermès’ Kelly bag is an instantly recognisable fashion icon. But her influence extends far beyond leather goods. The French fashion house also offers a selection of Kelly-inspired pieces that echo the bag’s iconic design elements. These range from belts and shoes to even timepieces, such as the eponymous Kelly watch.

This masterpiece is a delightful fusion of timeless heritage and contemporary practicality. While seamlessly integrating the iconic padlock with a functional watch face, it transforms the watch into a stylish everyday companion. The latest iterations, particularly the mini model, further showcase Hermès’ commitment to innovation.
Gone is the classic leather strap. In its place, you will find a stunning metallic bracelet with a unique chain-link design. This bracelet transcends its utilitarian purpose, doubling as a fashionable piece of jewellery on your wrist. The accompanying black Box calfskin leather lanyard also lets you wear it as a necklace, although the heart of the Kelly watch remains the iconic padlock, now detachable for ultimate versatility.
As if that’s not enough, the magic extends beyond this two-in-one design by offering three diverse stainless steel styles. Retailing at SGD6350, the first option boasts a clean, elegant aesthetic with a spangled white-lacquered dial. For those who cherish a touch of sparkle, 24 dazzling diamonds elevate the steel case to a new heights of luxury and price of SGD8540.
But the true showstopper is the third variation. This exquisite piece boasts 43 diamonds surrounding a mesmerising mother-of-pearl dial set within a sparkling steel case. Even the bracelet’s single-tour closure features 221 diamonds, making it a breathtaking statement piece at a cool SGD22,700.
A timepiece that whispers sophistication while keeping you perfectly on time? The Hermès Kelly watch is it.
