The iconic Hermès Heure H timepiece shows off vibrant new colours with semi-precious stone dials.
The highly-stylised Heure H is the unmistakable symbol of time passing, imagined by designer Philippe Mouquet in 1996, and the signature timepiece of French luxury house Hermès.
This strong, singular design has maintained its dynamism over the years, with a multitude of reinterpretations of the starkly elegant H-shaped dial and clean lines.
For the first time, Heure H is given the vibrant treatment of coloured stone dials – dressed in three versions with malachite, aventurine and obsidian, girdled by light gem-setting touches on the dial and around the case rim.
The vivid and intense green malachite version is set with 56 diamonds on a small rose gold frame, and paired with either a polished green alligator strap or cactus green calf leather.
The next creation is a medium-sized model in steel set with 120 diamonds around a silvered, starry obsidian dial – deep and mysterious, and accompanied by matte graphite alligator or pearl-grey calf straps.
Lastly, the aventurine version features a cool blue hard stone dial made from a mixture of different quartz stones and set with 56 diamonds, and matched with polished sapphire blue alligator or navy blue calf leather.
