Introducing The New Hermès Slim d’Hermès Squelette Lune

Hermès has never tried to win the watchmaking conversation by being the loudest voice in the room. Its approach has always been quieter, more deliberate, and unmistakably shaped by the brand’s broader culture. Watches at Hermès are conceived with the same sensitivity applied to leather goods, furniture, and silk, where proportion, texture, and balance matter more than technical showmanship. This perspective gives Hermès an unusual freedom in watchmaking, allowing it to explore complications without ever losing a sense of restraint.

The Slim d’Hermès collection reflects this mindset clearly. From the moment it appeared in 2015, it positioned itself as a modern round watch defined by lightness and clarity. The long, elegant lugs and airy construction give it a presence that feels contemporary without chasing fashion. Even as the collection has evolved to include more complex expressions, such as the Quantième Perpétuel, it has remained grounded in a design language that values calm precision over visual excess.

Today, the brand expands the collection with a titanium and platinum edition of the Slim d’Hermès Squelette Lune, building on this foundation through a skeletonized dial that exposes every component.

The case measures 39.5 mm in diameter and just 8.8 mm in thickness, with two distinct executions available. One is crafted from bead-blasted grade 5 titanium, paired with a polished anthracite DLC-treated titanium bezel. The other is rendered entirely in polished platinum, including the bezel, giving the watch a more classical and fluid presence on the wrist. In both versions, the signature Slim d’Hermès case architecture remains unchanged, with clean surfaces and slender lugs that keep the profile light and elegant. A sapphire crystal caseback reveals the movement, while water resistance is rated at 30 metres.

The openworked dial adopts a different character depending on the version. The platinum model features a sunburst blue treatment that plays with light across the exposed structure, while the titanium edition uses a sunburst anthracite tone for a more muted, technical appearance. Time is indicated by slim baton hands in black gold, floating cleanly above the skeletonised architecture. At 6 o’clock, the double moon phase complication displays the lunar cycle for both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Powering the watch is the automatic Calibre H1953, an ultra-thin movement equipped with a micro-rotor. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of 48 hours. At just 3.57 mm thick, the movement’s skeletonisation mirrors the dial’s openness, revealing diamond-cut and bead-blasted bridges.

The titanium version is paired with a grey alligator leather strap fitted with a titanium buckle, while the platinum model comes on a blue alligator leather strap secured by a polished platinum buckle. Pricing for both versions is available upon request.
