Finely etched in yellow gold, the Hermès ship, with its vibrant sails unfurled, glides gracefully beneath a glittering aventurine sky. Inspired by the historic boutique at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the ship’s hull, a tribute to the maison’s legacy, sails through the night—a harmonious blend of miniature painting and expert engraving. Its iconic bow, adorned with the effigy of a legendary firework maker, and its billowing sails are brought to life by the virtuoso craftsmanship of Hermès artisans.
Created in 2015 by Philippe Delhotal, the Slim d’Hermès watch encapsulates the maison’s essence with its understated elegance and balanced design. Its sleek lines, both modern and timeless, are a tribute to Hermès’ unrivalled artistry, subtly echoing the whimsical charm of its iconic silk scarves.
In a limited edition of 12, the Slim d’Hermès Flagship draws inspiration from Dimitri Rybaltchenko’s design for a silk scarf. The ship, set amidst a cascade of shooting stars, reflects the artist’s poetic world, where imagination meets reality. Multiple layers of micro-paint, meticulously kiln-dried, reveal a bronzed aventurine dial adorned with intricate nuances. The ship, a nod to the famed Parisian boutique, is delicately sculpted in relief, hand-painted, and placed against the starry sky. A playful star at 4 o’clock comes to life with the wearer’s movements.
Encased in an ultra-slim 39.5 mm yellow gold case, this exquisite timepiece is powered by the Manufacture Hermès H1950 self-winding movement, completed with a sumptuous abyss blue alligator strap, perfectly complementing the maritime-inspired dial.
