Hermès unveils new Flagship model delivering a celestial masterpiece of craftsmanship

"...Once again, Hermès celebrates its legacy as a master of artisanal craftsmanship with the unveiling of the stunning Slim d’Hermès Flagship. This luxurious timepiece epitomises the harmonious fusion of fine craftsmanship, creative ingenuity, and celestial elegance, marking a new chapter in the brand’s horological artistry..."

At first glance, the Slim d’Hermès Flagship leaves a lasting impression, thanks to its intricate detailing and expert precision. The dial is a mesmerising work of art, finely decorated in radiant yellow gold, featuring the iconic Hermès ship sailing gracefully beneath a starry aventurine sky. The vivid sails, fully unfurled, glide effortlessly through the scene, evoking a sense of maritime grandeur.

The imagery on the dial transcends mere decoration, drawing the viewer into a world of myth and wonder. Framed by the illusion of a telescope, the ship’s design pays tribute to the iconic Hermès boutique at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. Originally envisioned by Philippe Delhotal in 2015, the Slim d’Hermès collection has become a hallmark of the brand’s distinctive style. The intricate detailing on the hull, inspired by this historic location, showcases the maison’s unparalleled expertise in both engraving and miniature painting. Every finely engraved line and delicate brushstroke is a testament to the virtuosity of Hermès artisans, whose mastery brings this exceptional timepiece to life.

The timepiece is housed in an elegant yellow-gold case, measuring 39.5 mm in diameter, a size that perfectly complements its refined aesthetic. The Manufacture Hermès H1950 self-winding movement powers the watch, ensuring both technical excellence and aesthetic precision. Completing the look is a sophisticated abyss blue alligator strap, whose deep maritime tones mirror those of the dial, unifying the watch’s design with effortless grace.  The Slim d’Hermès Flagship is produced in a strictly limited series of only 12 pieces, making it a highly coveted collector's item.
