Hermès H08 Chronograph - Monopusher chronograph
Sculpted from a block of multilayered composite, the cushion-shaped case of the Hermès H08 Chronograph is both resistant and light to wear. This high-performance material with its unique look is composed of carbon fibre, and graphene powder.
By contrast, the satin-finished and polished titanium bezel tops a textured case middle, while the black PVD-coated crown incorporates an orange-rimmed monopusher at 3 o’clock. This discreet, intuitive single button serves to activate the chronograph’s start, stop and reset functions by successive presses.
The interplay of materials and finishes highlights the depth of the black dial, itself enlivened by two chronograph counters and a cushion-shaped date, and punctuated by black-gold hands and luminescent applied numerals and hour-markers. Orange touches accentuate the overall coherence and legibility of these displays, powered by a Hermès H1837 mechanical self-winding movement coupled with a chronograph module. This model is paired with an orange rubber strap featuring a structure reminiscent of Hermès weaving.
Hermès H08 - Brightly coloured variation
The cushion-shaped case of this new Hermès H08 is fashioned from a block of composite. Both light and sturdy, this material with its unique appearance is made of braided and aluminised glass fibre, and slate powder. This natural pigment gives it subtle silvery reflections against which the black ceramic bezel and crown stand out, creating a play on light and shade that highlights the depth of the concrete-coloured dial with its fine finish, punctuated by black hands and luminescent applied Arabic numerals.
Touches of yellow, green, blue or orange on the watch-glass seal, the minutes track and the varnished seconds hand accentuate the clarity of this display, powered by a Hermès H1837 mechanical self-winding movement. A rubber strap with a structured “woven” effect matches the colours of each model.
