In 2012,
Hermes celebrates “
The Gift of Time”… - A precious ingredient in the creation of an Hermès object. Take time with Hermès where beauty and functionality, practicality and pure indulgence are in perfect harmony.
Time is our ally. It is the time it takes to do things well, for beauty to be unveiled. It is also a time of discovery, a time to play, a time of pleasure.

The Singapore edition for Hermes The Gift Of Time is located at the historic Tanjong Pagar Railway Station at 30 Keppel Road, a 15 minutes stroll from Tanjong Pagar MRT.
BEAUTE RUNWAY was invited to Hermes The Gift Of Time Opening Night.
Indulge in the Gift of Time and travel into the heart and soul of Hermès time, a dreamlike space to explore the emotions, embellished by time and movement.
American artist Hilton McConnico, scenographer and long-time partner of Hermès dreamt, conceptualised and designed seven rooms of whimsical artistic installation that represent Hermes journey of time through multisensory poetic concept discoveries and experiences of time, created in the circular walkthrough.
“Hermès time does not try to master time but rather offers us the time to see and understand this ever changing world”, says Hilton McConnico.
