The Slim d’Hermès Squelette Lune is an exercise in quiet complexity, inviting the wearer to contemplate time through the shifting rhythm of the moon. Introduced in 2015, the Slim d’Hermès line is a balance of discipline and elegance, where precision engineering meets a distinctly poetic vision of watchmaking. Clean geometry defines the design: slender proportions, sharp lines, and angular lugs form a contemporary silhouette that feels both restrained and expressive. Encased in a 39.5 mm case made from titanium for the gray version or platinum for the blue one, the watch presents a light yet assured presence on the wrist.
An openworked dial reveals the structure of the movement beneath, allowing light to pass freely through carefully skeletonised bridges. This transparency creates an ever-changing dialogue between shadow and form, reinforcing the watch’s sense of depth and airiness. At its core beats the ultra-thin, self-winding Manufacture Hermès H1953 calibre, engineered to drive the hours, minutes, and a distinctive double moon display charting lunar cycles from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement’s bridges subtly echo the tones of the dial. A matte alligator or calfskin strap, color-matched to the dial, completes the timepieces and showcases the leather craftsmanship synonymous with Hermès.
