After referencing majestic horses, lush forests and curious felines, La Montre Hermès delves deeper into the woods for artistic inspiration

There are two things that make the Slim d&rsquo;Herm&egrave;s so compelling. The first is its sheer simplicity: The watch is slender (thanks to an in-house movement just 2.6mm high), and its dial is clutter-free and decorated only with a set of ultra-modern numerals specially created by top Parisian graphic designer Philippe Apeloig.&nbsp;

The second is the room it allows for creative expression: In the two years since its debut, the dial of the Slim d&#39;Herm&egrave;s has been reimagined entirely in grand feu enamel, and has featured remarkable miniature paintings of racehorses, colourful foliage and curious felines by the industry&rsquo;s most respected artisans such as Buzan Fukushima, Jean-Vincent Huguenin and Anita Porchet.

Translucent enamel colours are carefully applied by hand on a white gold dial. 

The grizzly first appeared on an Hermès silk scarf. 

The Slim d’Hermès Grrrrr! is powered by an ultra-thin Manufacture Hermès H1950 movement. White gold with alligator strap. 

The newest Slim d&#39;Herm&egrave;s ticker to join that artistic range scores points for being the most humourous yet. Named the Slim d&rsquo;Herm&egrave;s Grrrrr!, it showcases the close-up of a grizzly, which first appeared on an Herm&egrave;s silk scarf designed by Brit illustrator Alice Shirley.

Now, the bear makes a cheeky comeback as a miniature painting on a white gold dial. Downsizing a scarf&rsquo;s artwork for a 39.5mm timepiece was no easy feat. Each layer of translucent coloured enamel is painstakingly applied by hand between stages of drying and firing until the entire portrait is finished.
