Hermès Slim d’Hermès Flagship

Sailing through time and imagination, the Hermès Slim d’Hermès Flagship offers a voyage unlike any other, where haute horlogerie meets artistic craftsmanship. Inspired by the spirit of exploration, the Hermès Slim d’Hermès Flagship is a limited-edition timepiece of only 12 pieces that transports its wearer to a world of celestial beauty and historical elegance. The aventurine glass dial sparkles like the night sky, while an intricately engraved Hermès flagship glides across the stars, paying tribute to the maison’s storied heritage. The design is inspired by Dimitri Rybaltchenko’s artwork for a silk scarf, capturing the brand’s heritage and craftsmanship in every detail.

The case of the Slim d’Hermès Flagship is made from luxurious yellow gold, giving the watch a sophisticated and timeless appeal. Measuring 39.5 mm in diameter and 10.6 mm in height, it has a slim profile that adds to its elegance, making it ideal for formal occasions. The thin bezel maximises the space for the dial, ensuring that the intricate design remains the focal point. The watch also features elongated lugs, which complement its streamlined shape and add a touch of modernity to its overall aesthetic. While the watch is water resistant to 30 metres, its purpose is to serve as a refined accessory for those who appreciate intricate design and fine craftsmanship.

The dial of the Slim d’Hermès Flagship is truly the highlight of this watch. Crafted from aventurine glass, the dial mimics a starry night sky, with shimmering particles evoking distant stars. At the centre of this celestial scene is an engraved and hand-painted depiction of the iconic Hermès flagship. The attention to detail is remarkable, with the ship’s bow adorned with the effigy of the famous firework maker, symbolising Hermès’ legacy and creativity. At 4 o’clock, a small ‘mischievous star’ moves with the wearer’s wrist, adding a whimsical and dynamic touch to the watch. The hour and minute hands are sleek and understated, allowing the artistic dial to remain the focus of attention, reflecting Hermès’ mastery of blending aesthetics with function.

Inside the Slim d’Hermès Flagship is the Hermès H1950 movement, a self-winding mechanical movement that contributes to the watch’s slim case design. The inclusion of a micro-rotor allows for the thinner profile, while still providing a reliable power reserve of 42 hours. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), the H1950 movement is known for its precision and durability. While the movement is decorated using traditional finishing techniques, these details remain hidden due to the solid case back, keeping the focus on the dial’s design.

The Slim d’Hermès Flagship is perfected with an abyss blue alligator leather strap. Its deep, rich hue complements the maritime-inspired dial, enhancing the watch’s elegant appeal. Crafted for both durability and luxury, the alligator leather adds an exclusive touch, while the gold pin buckle matches the yellow gold case for a comfortable, secure fit.

Limited to just 12 pieces, this timepiece is set to captivate discerning collectors and watch enthusiasts.
