For 2023, luxury label Hermés adds a new model in rose gold and titanium to its H08 watch series. Launched in 2021, this range is an inaugural attempt at timepiece design.
The new addition was designed by the Creative Director of Hermès Horloger, Philippe Delhotal. The silhouette is lightweight and durable. It effortlessly combines these two strongly desired properties with slick, head-turning aesthetics. The two-tone color scheme makes for a playful yet sophisticated touch. The luxury label even adds two strap options for this timepiece—one made of black rubber and one featuring anthracite fabric webbing. The mechanism of this watch relies on "Hermés’ own H1837 mechanical and self-winding movement, crafted in Switzerland with a power reserve of 45 hours."
The release date of this design is yet to be announced.
