ENJOY THE MOMENT, INTENSELY
The chic ‘n’ sporty cushion-shaped watch always enthralls thanks to variations where shapes, materials, and delicate finishes forever mingle together.
In 2021, when Hermès introduced its H08 watch, one thing was clear. We were witnessing the birth of a model that had everything it took to make its mark as a new, modern-day icon. Its versatile personality, a blend of elegance and sportiness, embraces clean lines and streamlined proportions. Its one-of-a-kind geometrical-looking case and the harmonious design of the time data display embody an up-to-the-minute vision of watchmaking that’s inherent to the Parisian house. This instantly-recognizable model has been upgraded over the years with subtle hints of colors which adorn the direct-drive and the minute tracker markers. For 2025, the collection grows with references equipped with a 42 mm-diameter case and a bezel that are both crafted in satin-brushed titanium, with mirror-polished chamfering. The array of finishes used adds depth to the classy scenography. This piece comes complete with orange, abyss blue, and black rubber straps, along with a titanium alternative and a woven wraparound.
Another iteration stands out with its ceramic bezel and turquoise Super-LumiNova® that coats the numerals with their unusual calligraphy, the hour and minute hands, the seconds, as well as the date set at 4:30. This variation is worn on a choice of a dark gray or Saint-Cyr blue textured rubber strap. All these references are driven by a selfwinding movement. Caliber H1837 offers them a power reserve of some 50 hours. The sapphire-crystal caseback invites to admire the decorations on the bridges and on the oscillating weight, all featuring an H.
