Hermès Horloger’s DNA was unmistakable in this new model with its geometrical curving design featuring a round shape in a rounded square! Its recent “Colors” versions offer a palette of orange, royal blue, sunshine yellow and khaki green. On this occasion, the 39 x 39mm case seems to have invited the brand to offer a concentrated blend of its style language. There’s nothing flashy here: touches of color and white enliven the dial with its “concrete” hue and grained varnish, reminiscent of the stamped, grained counters introduced on the chronograph model presented in spring 2023. Through this satin-brushed black ceramic bezel, textured rubber strap, woven fiberglass composite case, Hermès vividly demonstrates its mastery of contrasting materials and watchmaking finishes.
The editorial tream was impressed by the combination of cheerful hues with a “concrete”-colored dial for a model that knows how to place emphasis where it’s required and in a subtly refined manner.
