Hermès Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel

The Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel distils Hermès’ design ethos into its purest form. Introduced in 2015 under the eye of Philippe Delhotal, this rose-gold perpetual calendar champions clean geometry and confident restraint. Its signature typography by Philippe Apeloig injects a subtle rhythm into the dial, while the galvanic brown centre plays with the light, setting off gilded baton hands and four neatly balanced displays for the date, month, leap year, second time zone and a shimmering mother-of-pearl moonphase set against aventurine.

True to Hermès’ commitment to craft, the Le Noirmont ateliers give the dial remarkable depth through sandblasted, snailed and sunburst textures, all framed by a slim 39.5 mm case. Beneath it beats the ultra-thin self-winding H1950 calibre, just 9.06 mm thick even with a full perpetual calendar and GMT function. This movement effortlessly tracks irregular months and leap years, ensuring the watch recognizes 29 February without intervention, while a sapphire caseback reveals chamfered bridges decorated with Hermès’ signature “sprinkling of Hs.”

Paired with a Havana alligator strap showcasing the Maison’s leather mastery, the Slim d’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel elevates perpetual-calendar watchmaking with contemporary elegance and unmistakable Hermès refinement.
