腕表的真正魅力在于它的内涵，而非表面。 Although there are many luxury watches on the market, there are often only one or two that are truly unforgettable. The Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Perpétuel Perpetual Calendar Rose Gold Watch launched by Hermès is one of these works that makes people fall in love at first sight.
This watch was designed by Philippe Delhotal in 2015. It is the first Hermès series to be equipped with a perpetual calendar movement, aiming to return to the purity and essence of the watch.
The front of the watch looks very simple. On the electroplated brown dial, the hour and minute hands are presented in a gold-plated stick shape, which is elegant yet classic.
The four sub-dials display the date, month and leap year, the second time zone, and the mother-of-pearl moon phase against an aventurine night sky. In particular, the design of the moon phase is inspired by the most beautiful moments of nature. The bright stars dotted in the night sky seem to bring together the essence of the universe.
Although the main dial is simple, the sub-dials are very complex, which is the characteristic of perpetual calendar watches. Different from the hours, minutes, and seconds of general mechanical watches, perpetual calendar watches also need to take into account changes in date, month, and year, which has extremely strict requirements on the movement.
And not all years are ordinary years. The appearance of leap years will disrupt this rule. January has 31 days and February only has 28 days. However, when encountering a leap year, February will have one more day and become 29 days. This change is not easy for mechanical watches to adjust.
The Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Perpetual Calendar watch has a built-in H1950 ultra-thin automatic movement, which can run automatically without manual winding. The thickness of this movement is only 3.5 mm. Even after adding the perpetual calendar function, it only increases the thickness by 1.5 mm, which can be said to be quite excellent.
The appearance size of the watch is 39.5 mm and the thickness is only 9.06 mm. Such specifications are almost unprecedented among rose gold watches. We often lament the heaviness of gold products, but this watch completely subverts our perception. The rose gold case is so thin that one almost doubts its material. This thinness does not sacrifice beauty and performance, but makes it more elegant.
Hermès has incorporated modern graphic design elements into the dial design. Although it has many complex functions, it looks very clean and neat at first glance. This is attributed to Philippe Apeloig, the hour mark font designer.
He designed a unique time scale font for this watch, which not only enhances the recognition of the watch, but also gives it a unique rhythm when reading. This design is almost impossible to see on other brands of watches.
Conclusion
This Hermès watch really perfectly combines simplicity and complexity, with both high-end luxury appearance and extremely exquisite craftsmanship. Wearing such a watch seems to be talking to time, which is really exciting! What do you think of this watch? Welcome to share your views in the comment area, and don’t forget to like and support!
