Tech meets fashion with the new Apple Watch Hermès

Fashion and technology aficionados have something to look forward to. Apple and Hermès have now introduced Apple Watch Hermès. The watch will be in stainless steel with finely crafted leather bands in distinctive styles from Hermès, including the Single Tour, Double Tour and Cuff, while respecting the design and functionality of the Apple Watch. The collaboration merges Apple's innovation with the craftsmanship of Hermès. Availability, however, is an issue currently as the watch will sit on the shelves of select Apple retail and Hermès stores only, beginning October 5, in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong ​Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK and the US.
