As a luxury design house, Herm\u00e8s stands apart from the traditional Swiss watchmaking culture with its history as a luxury design house known for its leatherwork and equestrian heritage. Despite this, the brand has recently made significant strides in the watchmaking industry with the incorporation of Vaucher movements and a range of successful designs, establishing its legitimacy in the field. The brand\u2019s design language is evident in its new <strong>H08 Chronograph<\/strong>, with special attention on texture contrasts within the dial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-149121\"><\/figure>\n<p>On the exterior, the H08 Chronograph sports a cushion-shaped carbon and graphene case. With a moderate diameter of 41mm, the watch still wears comfortably on most wrists, despite it having been upsized from previous models in the collection. The bezel is made from titanium, offering a sleek metallic contrast to the otherwise matte black case. On the reverse, an exhibition caseback displays a preview of the mechanism ticking within.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-1.jpg, (default)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-10.jpg, (small)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-9.jpg, (medium)]\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2127\" height=\"2560\" data-old-src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-1.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-149122\"><\/figure>\n<p>The enlarged dimensions of the H08 Chronograph allow for a symmetrical dial layout characterized by two sub-dials at 9 and 3 o\u2019clock. Creating contrast against the smooth dark gray dial, the sub-dials have a distinct grainy texture, as does a track rounding the inside edge of the indices. The Arabic numeral hour markers have a bright white hue, while the remainder of the dial is livened by vibrant orange details. Between the contrasting textures and dark gray, the H08 Chronograph has a distinctly industrial feel, softened slightly by its sporty orange detailing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-2.jpg, (default)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-22.jpg, (small)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-21.jpg, (medium)]\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-old-src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hermes-expands-h08-collection-with-new-monopusher-chronograph-2.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-149123\"><\/figure>\n<p>Powering the chronograph is the 193-component Herm\u00e8s H1837 caliber.
