The Most Outrageous Saddle Ever Made

Below is a photo of a one-of-a-kind saddle that will probably never touch a horse's back. People might describe it as beautiful, fabulous, extravagent or outlandish. To me it is wonderfully outrageousness. Obviously, a very artsy saddle maker in France was turned loose with a Tandy leather craft kit and an unrestricted budget - and this is the result.

A dear world-traveling friend saw this thing in a showcase in the Hong Kong airport and snapped a photo for me. I thought I would share it. Apparently, it was created to promote a new Hermes wristwatch line.
