Apple has been rumored to be looking to partner with designers in the luxury fashion space. At Apple’s press event today, the company announced the first such partnership: the Apple Watch Hermès. The Watch adds Hermès designed straps constructed of the fashion icon’s incredible leather. It is available in 3 styles: Double Tour (a wrap-around bracelet), Single Tour (a traditional strap), and a cuff. The Hermès version also comes with something else unique – an exclusive, Hermès designed watch face. The watch face is the first analog design for the Apple Watch that highlights the device’s square shape. This is the first time that Apple has offered a watch face unique to a version of the device; from a software standpoint, the $15,000 gold Edition version was identical to the $350 aluminum version. The Apple Watch Hermès costs between $1100 and $1500 and will go on sale in October at select Apple and Hermès stores.
