SLIM D’HERMÈS Cheval brossé

666

Framed by white gold, the profile of a horse stands out in coloured pad printing against an azure enamel sky.

The stylised reinterpretation of a horse by designer Dimitri Rybaltchenko, the house’s partner in dreamy creativity, echoes Hermès’ 2025 theme, Drawn to craft. It is an open invitation to travel and wonderment.

On the dial of the Slim d’Hermès Cheval brossé watch, its design hovering between dreams and
reality is artistically revealed through enamelling and pad printing. Designed in 2015 by Philippe
Delhotal, the Slim d’Hermès expresses the very essence of the house: a singularity composed of rigour
discipline and balance.

The radiant sky takes shape beneath the artisan’s meticulous touch, using a brush to apply a blue enamel base: crushed coloured glass powder mixed with natural oils, dried and fired in the kiln to stabilise the pigments.

The horse’s profile is then applied in successive layers of colour. The motif has been previously engraved on a hollow base called a cliché or image plate, which is filled with paint. The colour is then picked up with a flexible pad and transferred to the dial, using subtle layering to obtain the perfect shade and brilliance.

An ultra-thin mechanical self-winding H1950 movement from the Manufacture Hermès workshops brings this playful watch to life. Vividly expressing the house’s leatherworking expertise, the matt Bleu Abysse alligator
strap highlights the bright colours of the Slim d’Hermès Cheval brossé in a limited edition of 24.
