Inspired by a silk scarf designed by artist Dimitri Rybaltchenko in 2014, this Slim d’Hermès Minuit au Faubourg offers a playful and offbeat take on watchmaking while detracting nothing from its professionalism. Like Gotham City calling Batman, Paris sends a Super-LumiNova beam of light from the Eiffel Tower to the masked Hermès horse. Appearing on the Parisian rooftops of 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Super H stands in front of a micro-painted depiction of the City of Light that took more than 50 hours to complete. The dome of Les Invalides, the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde and the Moulin Rouge: Parisian architectural symbols add a touch of grandeur to the masked French hero. No need for magical powers to be a superhero. Bye-bye Superman, hello Super H!
