he Hermès H08 watch etches each moment. It is attuned to the pulse of its wearer. Its energy drives their every movement to the rhythm of the world’s beating heart. It resonates with a vital impetus, generating time that is fluid and precise.

Geometric and all-terrain, this watchmaker’s object with a sporting spirit fits seamlessly into the masculine universe of Hermès, where the precision of each cut highlights the sensuality of the materials. Between round and square, its cushion-shaped case with subtle edges dares to juxtapose different forms, materials – titanium, ceramic – and finishes – satin-brushed, sunburst, mirror-polished.

Powered by the Manufacture Hermès H1837 self-winding movement, the collection 6 welcomes two new titanium versions with grained light-coloured dials displaying hours, minutes and seconds. These original interpretations accentuate the audacity present in the font of the dial’s luminescent Arabic numerals along with the singular design of each detail, all the way to the date aperture at 4:30.

The first variation, punctuated with a vibrant orange touch at the tip of the seconds hand, proposes three distinct straps, each secured by a folding clasp. Resolutely robust, titanium asserts itself with a monochrome finish. The rubber straps, with their bold allure, sport candid colours – orange, bleu abysse or black – marrying comfort and dynamism. Finally, the strap’s blue or black webbing provides subtle sophistication through a blend of texture and character.

For the second variation, colour infuses new energy into the dial. The bleu Saint-Cyr numerals catch 8 the light and give the grained grey dial its tempo. Its black ceramic bezel alternates between satin-brushed and polished finishes, complemented by a rubber strap in dark grey or bleu Saint-Cyr. With the Hermès H08 watch, time is beyond measure, anchoring itself in material, always, as it stretches toward infinity.
