Personal Note
There is no denying that we are entering an era of watchmaking focused heavily on interesting design and why wouldn't that be the gateway for brands like Hermès to show other brands how it is done? This wonderful H08 Deep Blue Titanium is the perfect example of a brand standing out with a bold design, one that works beautifully on and off the wrist, whilst still providing an incredible package when it comes to the actual watchmaking nuts and bolts! The future is exciting for the watch world!
