Hermès objects that represent masculinity

　Hermès has announced its new men's collection, "Hermès HO8," for 2021. This model is a watch that embodies the world of men, as envisioned by the company, which offers a wide range of collections, including fashion and leather goods that incorporate an artistic sensibility.

The name "HO8," which resembles a symbol or chemical formula, represents the journey between a world of nothingness and a world of everything, as well as the mystique of time itself. The "O" in the name represents "0 (zero)," or nothingness, and the "8" when turned sideways represents "∞ (infinity)." This watch is an "object" that allows you to enjoy the exquisite contrast and harmony created by these two opposing elements.

　This piece, designed to accompany the modern man at any time, is infused with the passion of the Maison's artisans. The unique case shape, with its blend of straight and curved lines and polished, matte, and satin finishes, exudes masculine strength and delicacy. It features a screw-down crown for versatile use and is water resistant to 100m.

　The lineup includes three variations. The first is a model with a ceramic bezel and graphene composite material. The mineral-like black texture and uniquely designed Arabic numeral indexes give it a distinctive Hermès feel. The second is a model with a titanium case with a DLC coating on the middle case, and the third is a plain titanium case model without any coating.
