The art of miniature painting is one that Hermès constantly celebrates through its creations. Since the first marvel it created, the house has made its mastery a world that must be discovered by every watch and art enthusiast.

The creative process of a watch that features a miniature painting is all about accuracy. The artisans delicately apply pigments and colors to a dial made of enamel, mother-of-pearl or even more surprisingly, camel bone using the tip of their brush.

This time around, the art is honored in a way that is as unique and stunning as a Hermès timepiece. Visit the Photo Gallery below and take a look!
