Slim d'Hermes Review

This extremely thin and comfortable Hermes watch, called Slim d'Hermès, which was cited by Forbes as one of the best-looking and most comfortable watches of the year, not only has a complex structure on the inside, but also offers elegance with the simplicity of its exterior design.

This ultra-thin Hermes watch, with a case thickness of only 8.14 mm, is also available in rose gold as well as a stainless steel option, as seen above. This slim collection of Hermes watches matches perfectly with both casual and business attire. As with all Hermes watches, you can expect the highest quality, from the movement inside to the leather work on the straps for which Hermes is famous. Slim d'Hermes is offered with a Havana brown matte alligator leather strap option as well as a black alligator leather strap option.

One of the most striking design features of this watch is its distinctive numerals. The typography in this collection was specially designed by award-winning and world-renowned French graphic designer Philippe Apeloig; Apeloig's works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Philippe also designed the brand and identity for the Hermes-sponsored equestrian competition Saute Hermès.

Inside the ultra-thin case of the Slim d'Hermès watch is the 2.6 mm thick, in-house Hermes Caliber H1950 movement, which operates at 21,600 vph vibration. This 29-jewel Hermes movement has special Hermes workmanship, a micro rotor and a 42-hour power reserve.

On the outside, this watch offers a contemporary look with its Opaline silver dial and small seconds subdial in the lower center of the dial.
