Hermès Slim D'Hermès for HODINKEE

Much like Cartier, Hermès is a brand that has historically been about design first, function second.

With that said, their involvement with watchmaking dates back over 100 years, and if you look at their portfolio, you will find beautiful objects often incorporating clever uses of leatherwork to round-out their offerings. 

That being said, in recent years, Hermès has shaken the watch world with not only new, modern, and original designs - but also with their push into developing their own movements in partnership with Voucher.

This model, the Slim d'Hermes was introduced in 2015 and features a 39.5mm case, minimalist blue dial layout with a silver subsidiary seconds dial, and bespoke micro-rotor movement - all in a case that is under 10mm thick. This package was immediately praised by publications and enthusiasts alike for its wonderfully executed case and wearability. This particular variant was released in a limited edition of only 100 examples in association with HODINKEE magazine. 

Though Hermès may be known more for its gorgeous scarves and Birkin bags, more recent years have seen the French luxury house branch out into serious watchmaking.

The maison began a furious push to vertically integrate in 2006, purchasing a 25% stake in movement maker Vaucher; this was followed by the purchase in 2012 of a dial manufacturer and a case maker in 2013. The results have been some of the most stunning timepieces of the past decade, including the gorgeous Slim d’Hermès with its unique, cut-out typeface, and the Arceau L’Heure De La Lune moonphase. From entry-level dress watches such as the Galop d’Hermès — designed by American industrial designer Ini Archibong — to GPHG-winning creations such as the Arceau Robe du Soir, the maison has more than proven its horological savoir faire.
