Hermes launch new H08 timepiece

Originally created in 2021, the Hermès H08 was defined as enclosing the masculine vibe of the House with its sporty and urban look. It has now been reinterpreted with a rose gold and titanium model.

Designed by Philippe Delhotal, Creative Director of Hermès Horloger, the Hermès H08 watch mingles texture and minerality, deep hues and colourful touches, along with a matt or shiny appearance. This recent signature is now enriched by a model combining gold and titanium. Crafted in a sturdy and light alloy, the cushion-shaped case of the Hermès H08 watch is composed of a black DLC- treated titanium case-back topped by a rose gold case middle.

Alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes, this two-tone case highlights the depth of the blackened, finely grained dial against which luminescent golden hands and Arabic numerals stand out. The central minutes disc and the seconds hand are treated in black nickel, while the date appears in a cushion- shaped aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. A strap in black and anthracite fabric webbing or black rubber with a titanium DLC folding clasp underscores the elegance of this new model.
