Saw in person today, really stunning. Can see why it got a lot of attention at Watches & Wonders 2021. Also like that is has Vaucher movement, which has been used by others like Audemars and Richard Mille. Was not aware Hermes owned stake in Vaucher as well.

An unexpected acquisition of Hermes H08

 
 By: joenghenry : August 22nd, 2021-14:18
While accompanying my wife for her shopping in this afternoon, this was shown to me at the boutique. I am impressed by the design, sporty appearance, light weight titanium case, contrast between brushed titanium bezel and DLC coated titanium case, plastic...  

congratulations....Hermes have been consistent in the novelties last few years & this timepiece is one good sporty offer !

with good water resistance & rubber strap + Titanium...all cool combo - you've all reason to get tempted !! Best, mahesh.,

I actually don't dislike the date window at all...

And notice they did it with a black background and white numbers to match the dial. Well done!

Looks lovely Henry ! Are you now

betraying our favorite brand by straying ??🤣

Dear Gordon, our favourite brand's A and N are too.... difficult to acquire. I was shown by my AD the demo of new aquanaut chronograph, as it is probably the only chance for me to hold them in metal.

On the other hand, this 2021 novelty of the French maison is really nice and suitable for daily wear. Best, Henry

I hear you Henry !

This new Hermès watch has an usual shape and a clean dial. Our favorite brand’s A N have similar features as your new watch. I appreciate the attraction ! 👍

Congratulations Henry 🎉 Mine says hello !

Great looking Hermes and the titanium case is a winner.

Once you're hooked on titanium, there is no way back. GEO

sometimes a treasure comes. Very elegant watch. Read no further, many complain about the date ad half past five. Personally not a big ishoe for me. Maybe i want a Hermes. But also when not aspected. I am a filtered buyer. A detailed hunter. When a lot of ... 

Ones i bought on the walk

I was in a village. No intention of whatsoever to buy a watch. I walk through a window of a jeweler, i took a look at the things i saw. Ow, nice watches. One chronograph looks stunning, and the price was right. I walked inside the jeweler store and ask if...  

Very cool watch!

I've been avoiding the local Hermes boutique for months lest the same thing happen to me.

Any company that buys a 25% stake in Vaucher Manufacture is serious about watchmaking.

 
 By: Rosneathian : August 23rd, 2021-14:17
Quite aside from that, this watch is a beauty.

Hermes is a fairly cash rich company...

 
 By: patrick_y : August 24th, 2021-21:40
It's a very cash rich to do what it needs to do and reinvest. But not cash rich enough to start offshoring money in Ireland like tech companies do. With a great clientele base and a great number of stores for distribution, there's definitely a lot of pote... 

A cool timepiece indeed!

 
 By: patrick_y : August 23rd, 2021-19:25

I genuinely like the shape. Aesthetically, it's a pleasing watch in my eyes. It's well designed.

 
 By: patrick_y : August 24th, 2021-21:38
Throw on an orange strap for the summer weekends and this dark grey strap for now and voila! Please give us a thorough review on it!

9 months! Goodness!

 
 By: patrick_y : August 27th, 2021-17:51
Just in time for summer next year!

One lume wrist shot of this new acquisition.

 
 By: joenghenry : August 24th, 2021-10:08
The lume is not very strong, but quite fine. Best, Henry ...  

Love the blue lume.

Aaaah, I " see ". ;)

 
 By: amanico : August 29th, 2021-16:42

Looks good to me. And a cool custom font.

 
 By: patrick_y : August 24th, 2021-21:41
Honestly, this watch has it when it comes to design. It's a great shape of a case! It's got a 60s/70s vibe as well as a modern 2000s vibe.

Congrats Henry

This is a very nice catch indeed. I tried it once at the Hermes boutique and really like it! Wear yours in great health!

An interesting model!

 
 By: eklektik : August 31st, 2021-14:13
Reading the minutes through the minute hand is rather unusual, don't you think? I love spontanious purchase, it makes one feels great! Best, E.
