Hermes, a revered Swiss brand, is synonymous with exceptional quality and design in the world of vintage typewriters. Emerging in the 1930s, Hermes typewriters, particularly the Hermes Baby Portable and Hermes 3000 models, gained acclaim for their precision engineering, portability, and sleek, modern aesthetics. The Hermes 3000, with its distinctive sea-foam green body and smooth, quiet typing action, became a favourite among writers and journalists. Celebrated for their durability and elegant design, Hermes typewriters melded functionality with style, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts today. These machines represent a pinnacle of Swiss craftsmanship in the analog typing era.
