What happens when time slips into a dream? When a watch no longer just tells time but tells a story? With the new Slim d’Hermès Faubourg of Dreams, Hermès invites us to pause, look closer, and get lost in the poetry of craftsmanship.

Born from a Maison that never rushes, this limited-edition timepiece (just 24 in the world!) channels both cosmic curiosity and equestrian heritage. It’s a galaxy rendered on your wrist, with a sculpted silver horse at the center floating in a sky of hand-painted planets, shooting stars, and whimsical objects like a horseshoe and a handset phone. A space capsule, built at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré, gently orbiting the wrist.

But let’s not be fooled by the dreamy imagery, this is serious horology, too. The ultra-thin 39.5 mm white gold case houses the in-house Hermès H1950 movement, just 2.6 mm thick, with a 48-hour power reserve. In true Hermès fashion, the artistry never comes at the cost of performance.

The dial is a marvel: layers of aventurine and sapphire crystal brought to life through miniature painting and engraving old-world métiers d’art meeting modern imagination. Illustrator Stuart Patience reimagines the iconic Hermès flagship as a launch pad for fantasy, while Hermès artisans breathe life into each detail with a brush and a burin.

The horse stoic, faceted, otherworldly commands the scene and rightfully so. It’s a nod not only to the Maison’s roots in harness-making, but to the powerful spirit that Hermès brings to every object: movement, grace, and that rare ability to carry us somewhere else entirely.
Fitted with an alligator strap in either graphite or bleu abyss, the Faubourg of Dreams is as wearable as it is collectible.

In the age of utility, Hermès reminds us of beauty. In the rush of seconds, it gives us space to dream. And for those lucky 24 who wear it, it's a window to another time.
