H08

Created in 2021, the Hermès H08 watch embodies a blend of rigorous discipline and high standards. Hovering between tension and fluidity, this contemporary design, with its powerful style, forms an object that is all about balance and contrast.

Sporty in spirit, with an urban look that echoes the masculine universe of the House, its pluralistic nature is now interpreted through a new rose gold and titanium model.

Expressed through a play on shapes and materials, with careful attention to detail and accurate operations to shape a look that is as sporty as it is elegant, the Hermès H08 watch mingles texture and minerality, deep hues and colourful touches, uncluttered and geometrical lines, along with a matt or shiny appearance.

Designed by Philippe Delhotal, Creative Director of Hermès Horloger, the circular dial with an original font is housed in a square case with softened edges.

Crafted in a sturdy and light alloy, the cushion-shaped case of the watch is composed of a black DLC- treated titanium caseback topped by a rose gold case middle. This play on opposites is enhanced by a black ceramic bezel and crown, and alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes.

The central minutes disc and the seconds hand are treated in black nickel, while the date appears in a cushion- shaped aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. The two-tone case highlights the depth of the blackened, finely grained dial against which luminescent golden hands and Arabic numerals stand out in perfect clarity.

This legible and beautifully balanced display is driven by the Manufacture Hermès H1837 mechanical self-winding movement. Would be buyers and collectors can purchase a strap in black and anthracite fabric webbing, or black rubber with a titanium DLC folding clasp, further showcasing the versatility and elegance of this new model.
