Timepiece expert [HODINKEE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instrument-beaumarchais-h02) works in collaboration with Paris-based luxury fashion house [Hermès](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaune-de-naples) on the special watch design, H08. The Hermès H08 collection was originally made as a contemporary all-terrain watch during Watches & Wonders 2021.

The HODINKEE model is the first-ever special edition iteration of the "soon-to-be classic." The limited-edition timepiece has a cushion-shaped titanium case measuring out to be 39 mm. It features a matte black DLC coat and a polished ceramic bezel in black. It then features an open case back that shows off the mechanical self-winding Hermès Manufacture caliber with an H1837 movement. It has a limited amount of pieces with only 100 created and is now available for pre-sale exclusively on the HODINKEE store.
