The placid fields of Swiss watchmaking sometimes shudder at the coming of wild herds of fantastic timekeepers. Somewhat uniquely, Hermès is at home both in the stables and in the untamed wilderness. The Cheval Cosmique offers a stunning if somewhat literal interpretation of this – it puts the noble steed front and centre. In terms of watches, this one tells the time in a fuss-free twohanded fashion, but it packs an artistic punch that succeeds at combining brand identity with fine watchmaking. For the flamboyant gentleman, this would make a very striking dress watch, as noted in our segment on that elsewhere this issue. The Cheval Cosmique is a showcase of artisanal craftsmanship and watchmaking know-how, front and back. While the manufacture automatic movement H1837 powers this 41mm watch, it takes a back seat to the stunning aventurine and white gold dial (there is another 38mm version of the same watch, powered by the automatic calibre H1912 movement). This is certainly a hallmark of traditional watchmaking, but Hermès owns it with its command of equestrian motifs of all types. The beast at the centre of cosmic time here is crafted out of white gold, trotting across waves of white gold on an aventurine sky. At the risk of mixing metaphors, in a short story filled with them, you could see this as a tribut...
