The latest timepiece from luxury fashion house Hermès is the perfect mix of minimalism and style. The H08 is very much made for the modern man, with its simple yet elegant design ideal for any occasion or outfit. “We wanted to enhance the Hermès men’s universe with a sporty watch that is in our own unique style,” said Laurent Dordet, CEO of Hermès, in a private interview. “We consider time not as an abstract constraint to measure, but as a friend. And as a friend, you like to play. So, when we want a new line, we work with typography, shapes, volumes, and materials, and try to take pleasure in the invention.”
The watch itself comes in a 39 mm case with a circular dial and soft edges. Powered by Hermès’ H1837 automatic movement, the H08 was three years in the making and marks the first time the company has worked with graphene to develop a case. The use of graphene and nanofiber (a type of carbon fiber) results in a lightweight watch that still packs a punch on your wrist. The font used is a new typography inspired by the design, creating a unique look to the watch dial. Simple, clean, and efficient, the dial contains hour, minute, and seconds hands and Hermès iconic signature. The watch also features a screw-down crown offering 100 m water resistance. “We wanted function and looks and the function is sport,” says Dordet, “but not extreme performance, this is not for diving, but it is for men to wear when practicing light sports. From day one, we created this watch from scratch without any reference to the past. We wanted something new and clear and different.” There are three versions available, with one made from graphene and the other two from nanofiber and coming in matt black DLC-coated titanium and a satin-brushed titanium. All three are offered with a blue or black woven strap, black or orange rubber strap, or a bracelet version. The H08 is available now through Hermès with prices ranging from $6,050 to $8,900.
