  • Catalogue Essay

    The intricacies of the exotic beasts and the flora of South Africa on this Slim d’Hermès are rendered with miniscule brushstrokes and subtle nuances painted directly onto the mother-of-pearl disk before being fired in a kiln to conserve its brilliant colours. Depicted here is the Cape mountain zebra, which is a rare protected species found in the south-eastern provinces of South Africa. This design by Alice Shirley is modelled on a zebra that has wandered off to explore the fynbos, which is transformed in spring into a fragrant, multi-coloured carpet of flowers, a dreamlike vista. Hermès equipped this limited-edition timepiece with its H1950 movement, which was an automatic movement that was first introduced in 2015. The movement is exceptionally slim, which allows for an elegant slender case.
