Slim, pure, minimalist. Hermès’ Slim line is known for its remarkable technicality and peerless elegance. Stripped down to the essentials – an essence that hides luxury in every detail – this timepiece becomes a slim, elegant, ultra-thin and poetic object. Both classic and contemporary, for men and women alike, a careful graphicness gives the Slim line its appeal. Today, the newest platinum piece, crafted entirely in-house, is dipped in blue. The manufacturer’s H1950 ultra-thin caliber is equipped with one of the most demanding watch complications, a perpetual calendar.
The Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Platine is so majestic that it attracts the gaze with its apparent simplicity. On the dial, the numerals, whose typography was specially imagined for the Slim line, are lightly detached in pure Hermès style. Remarkably technical thanks to its mechanical memory, the dial fits into a precious platinum case. Decorated with H figures and bevelled by hand, the movement brings a day and night indication along with a second timezone and moon phase reader to its perpetual calendar. This veritable jewel of watchmaking savoir-faire even allows for a glimpse of its underlying sapphire.
Through its new Slim Quantième Perpétuel Platine, Hermès is bringing a number of watchmaking crafts together alongside its legendary aesthetic work. Within a platinum case, these mechanical complications are the pure product of artisanal work. Worn on an Abyss blue crocodile leather bracelet, the Slim Quantième Perpétuel Platine is also the reflection of a high degree of leatherwork craftsmanship. This is a Hermès accomplishment, plain and simple.
