It is the unique typography on the dial though, designed by the multi-award winning French graphic designer and typographer, Philippe Apeloig, that really gives the Slim d’Hermès collection its distinct character. The dial is composed of three parts: a chapter ring with cut-out Arabic numerals; a finely snailed centre swept over by slim baton-type hands; and a frosted crystal small seconds counter. While all previous dial offerings have been monochromatic, the Slim d’Hermès Titane introduces just a hint of colour which really changes the entire character of the watch. Now it’s more sporty and fun, yet you could still wear it out to a fancy dinner. The ultra-thin titanium case is microblasted and measures 39.5mm in diameter. Completing the look is a circular satin-brushed bezel and lovely elongated lugs.
