Hermès continues to evolve its contemporary watchmaking language with the unveiling of the H08 Chronograph Jaune de Naples, a vibrant new iteration of its acclaimed H08 line.
First introduced in 2021, the H08 collection has been celebrated for its architectural geometry, balanced proportions, and distinctly modern character. Now, Hermès injects a burst of expressive color into the chronograph form, offering collectors a striking and playful statement piece.
At the heart of this new release is the radiant Jaune de Naples—a luminous yellow tone inspired by a historic pigment once prized by painters for its intensity. Applied to the rubber strap and punctuating the chronograph hands, the hue creates a vivid contrast against the graphene-filled composite case and black ceramic bezel, both hallmarks of the H08’s lightweight yet robust construction. The result is a piece that is both technically assured and artistically daring.
The 44 mm case frames a finely textured dial, where subtle layers of matte and satin finishes underscore Hermès’ mastery of detail. The chronograph pushers integrate seamlessly into the angular silhouette, preserving the collection’s clean design codes. Inside, the automatic chronograph movement delivers precision performance with a 46-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback.
More than a timekeeper, the H08 Chronograph Jaune de Naples embodies Hermès’ unique approach to watchmaking: blending utility and creativity, athleticism and artistry. For collectors, it represents a bold continuation of the H08’s story—an object that transcends function to become an emblem of contemporary style.
