Inspired by pure and restrained lines, Slim d’Hermès has since its launch set the pace for the comeback of quintessential watchmaking art. This year, new models join the Hermès family, paying tribute to the house’s leather-crafting expertise.

“The collection was born from encounters between the Maison, designers and artisans. The singular blend of contemporary and classic elegance embodied in Slim d’Hermès expresses the essence of Hermès,” explains Philippe Delhotal, Creative Director of La Montre Hermès.

Graphic arts harmoniously meet horological skills to form perfect aesthetic purity. The slender case reflects the in-house expertise and the dial sees an unusual light font in terms of numbers, while the hour-markers are drawn with a single stroke without counterweights on the ends.  An H1950 ultra-thin movement beats at the heart of the Slim d’Hermès and is revealed through a transparent case-back.
