More than the sum of its parts \u2013 the HESS Uhren style<\/h1><\/div>

As an independent Swiss watch brand, we enable our customers to be style pioneers. At the same time, we accommodate their desire for rarity and understatement. What does that mean? Let us share our thoughts about the aesthetic hallmarks that constitute the HESS brand.<\/h3>\n

by\u00a0Walter Hess<\/em><\/p>\n

We often receive comments\u00a0regarding the sleek design of our watches and respond to them by describing the\u00a0hidden details. Our aspiration is to define a style that does not presuppose a\u00a0style but instead emphasizes the\u00a0individual personalities of our customers.\u00a0This approach works because our watches are graceful and reduced yet at the\u00a0same time warm, inviting, and timeless.<\/p>\n

How a style is born<\/h3>\n

The design of HESS watches is\u00a0inspired by attention to detail, care, and the determination to tolerate no\u00a0compomise. The design statement is on point, which is why the watch appeals to\u00a0both women and men.<\/p>\n

The first glance does not\u00a0immediately reveal the number of details that preoccupied us. We faced many\u00a0questions during the creative process and each one was associated with many\u00a0possible solutions. Decisions had to\u00a0be made.<\/p>\n

Judith and I have a shared\u00a0taste that we can rely on unconditionally. It is extremely helpful in coming to\u00a0conclusions. This shared taste gave us assurance and the perseverance needed to\u00a0convince suppliers to join us in\u00a0executing our decisions, wishes, and visions \u2013\u00a0to come on board, so to speak.<\/p>\n

What’s hidden in details<\/h3>\n

Because our dials are crafted\u00a0from unusual materials, the manufacturing process is sometimes difficult and\u00a0very elaborate. But the result is worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Our ambitions with respect to\u00a0style are not confined to questions regarding gestalt, colors, sizes, etc. but\u00a0also embrace our relationships with suppliers and the many people who\u00a0accompanied, advised, and supported us\u00a0on the way to where we are now.\u00a0Convincing people to share our passion and feeling their support: these are two\u00a0of the most precious elements of a watch.<\/p>\n

In the end, many precious\u00a0components come together in a HESS watch that is more than the sum of its\u00a0parts.<\/p>\n

Exclusivity \u2013 a discreet and\u00a0strong feeling<\/h3>\n

Our customers often mention\u00a0the sense of exclusivity and rarity that they associate with our watches. It is\u00a0a discreet and yet strong feeling which proves that they understand our watches\u00a0and our philosophy. The desire\u00a0to own a personal high-end watch is highly\u00a0individual. It is an enigmatic wish far beyond the mainstream.<\/p>\n

Their circumspect design,\u00a0reduction to the essence, and contemporary appeal paired with passion and\u00a0perfectionistic craftsmanship are elements that define the style and soul of\u00a0our watches. Our customers can see and\u00a0sense that.<\/p>\n<\/div>
