History of Hermès

The company’s founder Thierry Hermès (1801–1878) was a talented harness craftsman. Moreover, he was a creative genius and visionary businessman. In 1837, he established a workshop in Paris to produce high-quality wrought harnesses and bridles for the carriage trade. His innovative products won several awards at that time.

Under the effective management of the founder’s son Charles-Émile Hermès, the company started producing saddles in large scale. After the retirement of Charles, his sons Adolphe and Émile-Maurice took over the management of the family-owned company and retitled it to Hermès Frères. During this time, Hermès commenced the production of leather goods and clothing collection.

In the early 1920s, the first Hermès leather handbag was launched. In 1925, the luxury brand also introduced the famous golf jacket. In 1935, the Parisian company launched the iconic "Kelly bag" and the famous Hermès carrés scarves and in 1937, the first silk scarf. In 1949, the luxury brand’s first perfume, "Eau d'Hermès" was introduced. After the demise of Émile-Maurice, Robert Dumas-Hermès took over the management of the company in 1951.

In 1967, Hermès launched the first ready-to-wear collection for women. The company continued diversifying its product range. After the death of Robert Dumas in 1978, his son Jean-Louis Dumas was appointed as the chairman.In 1978, Hermès acquired John Lobb, the high-end footwear manufacturer.

Jean-Louis had efficiently managed the company until his retirement in January 2006. Under his management, Hermès worked with acclaimed fashion designers like Eric Bergère, Bernard Sanz, Martin Margiela, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Christophe Lemaire. During this era, the iconic brand became a prominent face in the high-fashion industry.

Throughout its illustrious history, the iconic luxury house remained under the direct ownership of the founding family. Presently, the sixth-generation members of the Hermès family manage the company activities.

History of Hermès Watches

In 1928, Hermès introduced its first watch collection. From the 1930s to the 1950s, Hermes partnered with the legendary Swiss watchmaker Universal Genève for producing luxury-designer wristwatches for men and women. In 1978, the Paris luxury house founded its own watch manufacturing company La Montre Hermès in Switzerland. In 2003, the company started producing its own watch calibers in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. To mark this key achievement, Hermès introduced Dressage, the first collection of its timepieces to be equipped with the in-house calibers.

Vaucher Manufacture was founded by the Sandoz Family Foundation, which is the major share holder of the Fleurier based watch movement company. In 2006, Hermès acquired 25% of Vaucher Manufacture shares.

At the same time, La Montre Hermès set up a workshop to craft leather straps for its timepieces. In 2012, the company acquired Natéber, the dial manufacturer based in La Chauxde Fonds. In 2013, Hermès bought majority shares of Le Noirmont based watch case manufacture Joseph Erard SA. These strategic business decisions allowed the company to achieve the functional independence.
