The Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Platine

The Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Platine
The font of the numerals is specially designed for the Hermès Slim collection

The all-blue-clad Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Platine is a soft-spoken beauty. The numerals with their font specially designed for the Slim collection stand out with light and airy grace. While the date, month, dual-time and leap-year indications are displayed on various counters, a mother-of-pearl moon phase graces an aventurine sky backdrop at 3 o’clock.

The elegant and graphic dial of the 39.5mm Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Platine melts seamlessly into the surrounding precious platinum case which houses the ultra-thin H1950 in-house movement with an Agenhor module.

Full spectrum of watchmaking skills

Adorned with a ‘sprinkling of Hs’ and meticulously hand-bevelled, the movement also powers day/night, dual-time and moon-phase indications within a composition measuring just 4 mm thick. The movement with 42 hours power reserve can be admired through the sapphire crystal case-back.

With its new Slim Quantième Perpétuel Platine, Hermès unites the full spectrum of watchmaking skills. Its gleaming platinum exterior provides a perfect setting for mechanical complications to rub shoulders with the skill of case and dial-making artisans, while an Abyss blue alligator strap reflecting impeccable leather craftsmanship sets the perfect finishing touch.
