In the realm of haute horlogerie, Hermès’ latest creation, the Slim d’Hermès Le Sacre des Saisons, is a celebration of artistry and the seamless flow of time through the seasons. This exquisite collection, limited to just 12 pieces per season, showcases the brand’s unparalleled craftsmanship and artistic ingenuity. Each timepiece is a homage to the beauty of nature and the whimsical world of animals, as interpreted through the lens of historic French and Russian ballets.
The Slim d’Hermès Le Sacre des Saisons begins its annual journey with Winter, a timepiece that commands a presence with its white gold case, illuminated by 52 baguette-cut diamonds. The watch’s dial, a canvas for the ice wolf, uses miniature enamel painting to depict the animal in a dynamic pose, set against a wintry backdrop. Priced at CHF 121,200 this model is a masterpiece of contrast, where the cold tones of the season are warmed by the golden fruit in the wolf’s grasp, a detail brought to life through the intricate process of paillonné enamel.
As the seasons turn, Spring emerges with a representation that echoes the rebirth and vivacity of its namesake. Encased in rose gold and framed by 66 brilliant-cut diamonds, the spring edition features a horse, resplendent on an apple-green chrysoprase dial. The careful application of paint layer upon layer creates a relief that gives life to the flowers and the horse, embodying the spirit of renewal. With a valuation of CHF 81,000 this piece is a celebration of growth and new beginnings.
The vibrancy of Summer is captured in a tableau of bright yellows, greens, oranges, and pinks. This edition, valued at CHF 86,000 showcases a lion, its mane radiating beams of light, a symbol of the season’s energy and warmth. The lion, engraved in sapphire crystal and painted from the back of the dial, is set in a white gold case adorned with 66 brilliant-cut diamonds, presenting a contemporary vision of summer’s exuberance.
Autumn, priced at CHF 81,000 is depicted with a majesty that mirrors the season’s rich palette. The white gold case of this edition serves as the stage for a majestic eagle, hand-carved in gold. The micro-relief engraving, paired with hand-painting, showcases autumnal hues of rose, russet, pink, orange, and gold. The eagle, caught in mid-dance with wings and cuffs depicted by a flurry of autumn leaves, encapsulates the essence of the season’s transformation.
Each timepiece in the Slim d’Hermès Le Sacre des Saisons collection is powered by the calibre H1950, an ultra-thin movement that reflects Hermès’ commitment to technical excellence. The watches are not just timekeepers; they are storytellers, each dial a narrative of the season it represents, brought to life through the meticulous craftsmanship of Hermès’ artisans.
