EQUESTRIAN FASCINATION
With this impressive, exclusive 24-piece creation, the brand center stages its ability to enchant time gracefully. Here, magic weaves its wand yet again!
The Slim d’Hermès model, imagined by Philippe Delhotal, has been diffusing the Parisian Maison’s world onto the wrists of lovers of classy, offbeat watchmaking for some ten years now. As this year dawned, the artist Dimitri Rybaltchenko was celebrated in a limited, numbered edition of the Slim d’Hermès Cheval Brossé watch. “I have a dream job. A job where everything begins in my imagination. This paves the way for a poetic journey that whirls through space and delicately takes shape, guided by gestures, sketches, and colors. Eternal wandering, from dreamscapes to brushstrokes, from emptiness to reality, from chaos to harmony, epitomize my work. During this journey master craftspeople from the most prestigious workshops breathe life into my visions. My designs become scarves, prints, objects and scenography”, states the artist to explain his creative process.
For this piece boasting a 39.5 mm-diameter white gold case, his art comes to life on an azure enamel dial adorned with an abstract depiction of a horse, obtained using colored pad printing, an indirect printing process. Tapered hour and minute hands driven meticulously by the ultra-slim H1950 caliber tick over in this majestic scenescape. This selfwinding movement delivers a power reserve of 48 hours. During this time, the Slim d’Hermès Cheval Brossé watch wraps around the arm with a matt Bleu Abysse alligator strap which matches the shade of the dial. An ideal marriage for flaunting this incredible masterpiece!
