Designed in 2021 by Philippe Delhotal, Creative Director of Hermès Horloger, the Hermès H08 watch features a blend of rigorous discipline and originality.
Mingling textures with minerality, deep shades with colourful touches, geometric lines with supple curves, the Hermès H08 watch, with its sporty spirit and urban allure, echoes the masculine universe of the house. Sculpted from a block of multi-layered composite, the cushion-shaped case of the Hermès H08 Chronographe 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.
Orange touches accentuate the overall coherence and legibility of these displays, powered by an 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 weaves.
