Fashion lovers won’t be able to choose: Apple Watch 12 launches Hermès Golden Titanium and Pearl White precision ceramic

Amid the fast pace of city life, finding the right balance between a polished wardrobe and your daily rhythm has always been an art. While we’re used to using bags and accessories to enhance everyday looks, the tech on our wrists is increasingly becoming an important expression of personal taste. With the new Apple Watch Series 12, Apple has made health management more intuitive while once again reshaping perceptions of smartwatches through materials with the feel of fine jewelry.

The detail sure to catch fashion lovers’ eyes is the Apple Watch Hermès’ first elegant appearance in a “Golden Titanium” case. To complement its understated glow, Hermès has created a new Noir black satin Clou de Selle strap, with gold saddle studs on the metal buckle and other details that bring French equestrian craftsmanship to modern technology.

For those who prefer a bolder look, the collection also includes the Rocabar Club woven strap, which turns show-jumping inspiration into an elongated geometric H motif. Pair it with a blazer or a simple knit for a look with real presence.

Beyond the luxurious collaboration, the case colors also showcase exceptional craftsmanship. This year’s new “precision ceramic case” comes in warm pearl white and deep midnight blue for a crisp, clean look, while the aluminum models add dark bronze, light gold, and space gray. The classic Milanese Loop is also now available in dark bronze and golden tones, offering more options for those who prefer a subtle metallic sheen.

This new-generation watch also understands what you need in everyday life. With the S11 chip and an upgraded optical sensor, its green LED module provides around-the-clock heart-rate monitoring every 5 seconds and records heart rate variability (HRV). Each morning, the new “Personal Health Status Score” combines your recent activity levels and sleep quality to provide a clear score from 0 to 10, along with recommendations. When your body hasn’t fully woken up, a glance at your watch can tell you whether to give it your all or slow down today.

Improved charging efficiency also addresses city dwellers’ battery anxiety. Battery life for outdoor workouts has been extended to 10 hours, while just 15 minutes of fast charging provides 12 hours of battery life. Put your watch on the charger while you brush your teeth and do your skincare in the morning, and it can keep up with your health tracking all day. Will you choose the crisp precision ceramic case, or match this Golden Titanium version with your shoe collection and handbags?
