Introduction to the Slim d’Hermès Flagship Craftsmanship Watch

Following the 2023 Basel Watch Fair, Hermès officially released the new Slim d’Hermès Flagship craft watch. The new Slim d’Hermès Flagship craft watch takes the Hermès flagship store at 24 Avenue Fubao in Paris as its design inspiration. It uses the theme of meteor shower and ocean, which is profound and elegant, making people fall in love at first sight.

Watch design and functionality

This watch is equipped with a 39.5 mm gold case and is equipped with the H1950 ultra-thin self-winding movement. The movement is only 2.6 mm thick and has a power reserve of up to 42 hours. The deep sea blue alligator leather strap brings a calm and elegant ocean atmosphere.

The production process of watch dials is complicated, and Hermès’ always exquisite craftsmanship is fully demonstrated here. The aventurine dial has been hand-painted in multiple layers and fired at high temperatures, so that its surface is as smooth as a mirror and sparkles with a dazzling golden light.

Inspiration and art combined

Hermès’ newly launched Slim d’Hermès Flagship watch is inspired by the silk scarves created by designer Dimitri Rybaltchenko for the brand. The overall design of the watch is like a ship sailing in the night sky of a meteor shower. The meteor shower will be the most dazzling scenery in the night sky. Hermès chose this element as design inspiration to show the brand’s combination of practicality and art.

Brand history and aesthetic pursuit

Thierry Hermès, the founder of Hermès, opened his first store in Paris in 1837 and now has a historic flagship store at 24 Avenue Fubao in Paris. In 2014, Hermès transformed the top floor of this flagship store into a fireworks knight in the night sky. The knight rode a horse and carried a torch to light up the starry sky. This beautiful pattern is called the “Sail Spirit”, and every Hermès watch fan is deeply impressed by it.

The ship pattern is printed on both sides and is set on the dark blue strap. The shooting star pattern also uses double-sided printing technology. The shooting star design at 4 o’clock rotates with the movement of the wrist, as if it is about to fly into the night sky.

Conclusion

Hermès’ Slim d’Hermès Flagship watch is a perfect fusion of art and time, and it’s so hard to put it down! Whether it is the inspiration of the meteor shower or the exquisite craftsmanship, people have a deeper understanding of the pursuit of this brand. What do you think of this watch?
