Dreamed up five years ago by Artistic Director Philippe Delhotal and powered by a movement from faithful partner company Agenhor, this original complication once again illustrates the fanciful and free spirit driving the inimitable Parisian Maison. As La Montre Herm\u00e8s prepares to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its establishment in Switzerland, the Slim d\u2019Herm\u00e8s L\u2019heure impatiente enables its wearer to savor the hour preceding an eagerly awaited event. An \u201cemotional crescendo\u201d, as CEO Laurent Dordet describes it. All the wearer need do is set the rotating subdial at 4 o\u2019clock to the keenly anticipated event (within the next 12 hours), and the countdown is automatically activated 60 minutes before, and can be viewed at 7 o\u2019clock. At H-hour (of course), a highly distinctive and sustained note rings out to signal the happy moment. What the owner does not realize is that the tiny component activating the hammer is shaped like Pegasus, featuring a multi-level sculpted decoration including a microscopic musical note. Other parts measuring a handful of millimeters, such as a cam, take the form of a shark or Caspar the ghost, prompting Laurent Dordet to point out that Herm\u00e8s artisans love to do things seriously while never taking themselves seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Arceau Le temps suspendu and Dressage L\u2019heure masqu\u00e9e, the Herm\u00e8s watchmaking philosophy can be meditated upon through its Slim collection and its new L\u2019heure impatiente model.
