The Slim d’Hermès Hippocampe timepiece has been debuted by the fashion house as the latest version of its signature watch accessory that takes on a decidedly oceanic inspiration. The watch is characterized by its playfully aquatic dial that puts a seahorse front and center, which is crafted with a leather background and gilded accents. The timepiece measures in at 39.5mm and has a sapphire crystal caseback that allows view to the Hermès H1950 mechanical self-winding movement inside.

The Slim d’Hermès Hippocampe timepiece comes in two color options, is paired with a calfskin strap and crafted with white gold throughout. The exclusive timepiece is limited to just 24 examples of each color, which can be purchased directly from the brand.
