Review: Hermès – Slim d’Hermès Perspective cavalière

Alvin Wong 26 November 2015

Fancy a shot of art? Hermès gets busy with its take on ‘isometric perspective’, a 2-D design technique once used in the 16th century by military mapmakers.

The technique gets a flourish of eye-snapping colours, courtesy of the French maison adapting the colours and patterns of its scarves to the dials, rendered using champlevé enamel technique. Available in four colour combinations – teal and royal blue; mandarin orange, salmon and navy; orange and canary yellow; and white and royal blue – each option is limited to six pieces.
