Hermès introduced the new H08 Chronograph during the 2023 Watches & Wonders Geneva exhibition. This model marks the first use of a carbon fiber case paired with a ceramic bezel within the collection. It features a user-friendly monopusher chronograph function and is accentuated by a vibrant colored strap.

As the first complicated timepiece in the H08 series, the 41mm cushion-shaped case is crafted from a carbon fiber and graphene composite, offering a lightweight wearing experience and high resistance to wear. The satin-finished ceramic bezel creates a play of light and shadow against the graphene case, adding visual depth.

The dark gray circular dial combines grained and fine-brushed finishing techniques. The layout includes:

  • A small seconds sub-dial at 3 o’clock.

  • A 30-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock.
    Both sub-dials feature rounded rectangular shapes, echoing the case profile. The applied numeral hour markers ensure excellent legibility, with the numerals 6, 8, and 0 notably designed with rounded rectangular fonts. The central chronograph seconds hand and the chronograph minutes hand are both highlighted in orange.

Powering the watch is the H1837 self-winding movement. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 46-hour power reserve, equipped with an additional module for the monopusher chronograph function. Turning the watch over reveals the oscillating weight and bridges decorated with the signature “H” pattern.

Paired with an orange rubber strap, the watch is officially priced at approximately €15,200.
