If there’s a single alphabet used in a luxury context that’s as good as a quality seal as any, it would be this letter H that has repped the house since the early ‘50s. One doesn’t even need to peek at the fine print to know that the item has been blessed by Hermès. This Heure H series has had the honour of using this alphabet as a case shape since its debut in ’96 with hundreds upon hundreds of iterations since. That said, this is the first time that the Heure H has introduced an in-house self-winding mechanical movement (H1912) into its engine room, supported by the deep black and grey tones on the surface to give it that rockstar-level of cool. Try looking at the timepiece from various points of view in the day to notice how light plays with each angle. Trust us, there are no bad angles.
