The Kelly  double strand watch takes it’s name from Hollywood glamour girl Grace Kelly who later abandoned her acting career to marry Prince Rainer III and become the princess of Monaco.

The watch bears the same name as the Kelly bag which was designed in the 1930’s by Robert Dumas- Hermes. It was  known as the Saca Depeches. The Kelly bag wasn’t a hit until Grace Kelly made it popular in the 1950’s after being constantly photographed with one in hand. Rumor has it that Kelly held the bag to hide her baby bump from paparazzi  while pregnant with her first child in 1956. After that the bag became  a consistent favorite among celebrities and luxury connoisseurs who were willing to join  long waiting lists to get hold of one of these pieces.

The Kelly watch has equal prominence in the house of Hermes and can be found  with the strand made of  typically  calf  or crocodile . The face of the watch can be plain or encrusted in diamonds by request.

Here the Kelly watch is paired with the Chanel gold link chain  for the stacking trend this season.
