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.

Monopusher chronograph

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 activates the chronograph’s start, stop and reset functions with successive presses.

The interplay of materials and finishes highlights the depth of the black dial, itself enlivened by two counters and a cushion-shaped date and punctuated by black gold hands and luminescent applied numerals and hour-markers.

Orange touches accentuate these displays’ overall coherence and legibility, 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.

The cushion-shaped case of this new interpretation of the Hermès H08 watch is fashioned from a composite block. 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-grey dial with its fine finish, punctuated by black hands and luminescent applied Arabic numerals.

Brightly coloured variation

Touches of yellow, green, blue or orange on the watch-glass seal, the minutes’ track and the varnished second’s hand accentuate the clarity of this display, powered by an Hermès H1837 mechanical self-winding movement. A rubber strap with a structured “woven” effect matches the colours of each model.
