Slim d’Hermès

The Slim d’Hermès helped put the company on the map in the watch world upon its introduction in 2015 at Baselworld. With a custom typeface as well as elegant case size and lugs for its 39.5mm diameter, it became for many watch collectors the first modern Hermès watch that was extremely desirable. This is a steel version of the original model with beautiful sunburst grey dial.

This watch is certainly for the detail oriented collector that loves minimalist design. The interior section of the dial features the very faintest of concentric circles which are indiscernible from the naked eye. Under a loupe, they are really stunning and one can’t help but respect the “fashion” brand’s commitment to understated elegance. The baton hands are another highlight that warrants recognition. They’re divided by a mirror polish vs frosted surface. Upon the intersection of the hands, it makes for a memorable moment to appreciate each hour.

The case diameter is 47mm lug-to-lug. It is paired with a 20mm Wind Vintage calfskin strap (made by Nick Gabarro). The micro-rotor movement is based on a Piaget 12P which is decorated to feature the Hermès monogram.

Hermès’ history as a retailer is largely under acknowledged and perhaps even misunderstood by those who are focused more on a horological level. However with models such as these, there the brand has a bright future and hopefully will continue to create romantic timepieces for those looking for something a bit off the beaten path

The original strap and buckle are included with it, which are worn, but I really think the honey leather strap looks perfect.
