In a celestial ballet of weightless, gravitating forms, the Slim d’Hermès Faubourg of Dreams watch reveals extraordinary craftsmanship. Delicate engraving and intricate miniature painting outline the silhouette of a horse, radiating a pure, minimalist elegance.
Designed in 2015 by Philippe Delhotal, the Slim d’Hermès watch is a masterclass in aesthetic restraint and artisanal excellence—a timepiece that distills the essence of the Hermès maison. With its sleek, ultra-thin profile and precise proportions, it embodies both modernity and timelessness. At once a watch and a canvas, this limited-edition model revives the poetic universe of the Faubourg of Dreams silk scarf through rare decorative métiers.
In this collector’s edition, British illustrator Stuart Patience reimagines the iconic Hermès flagship at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré as a space-faring vessel, suspended in the cosmos. Rendered with whimsy and technical finesse, the boutique drifts through a celestial landscape alongside floating curiosities—a handbag, a horseshoe, headphones, and other objets d’art—each meticulously hand-painted in miniature atop a sapphire crystal ring.
The aventurine dial provides a sparkling night-sky backdrop, punctuated by gold spangles and planetary motifs. At its heart stands a silver-toned horse, finely engraved and faceted through a delicate abrasion and dyeing technique before being set onto the dial. Its form captures both motion and stillness—an equine constellation embodying the Hermès spirit of elegant fantasy.
Powering the timepiece is the ultra-thin H1950 self-winding movement, housed in a 39.5mm white gold case. The signature alligator strap, crafted in Hermès’s leather workshops, completes this exceptional 24-piece edition—a celestial artifact for the discerning collector.
