Heure H Black Dial Star - Black original strap

Hermès Heure H “Women, Small Model”  Ref. HH1.210 Stainless Steel 21 × 30 mm Quartz Black sunburst dial, silver Arabic numerals & markers, Pre-owned 2015

“In the night, the H frames a sky, and each silver marker answers like a star.”

As soon as it catches the light, the watch reveals a black sunburst dial that seems to glow from within, while the silver Arabic numerals stand out with an almost astral clarity. The H-shaped case defines the silhouette, the sapphire crystal preserves the shine, and the quartz movement guarantees calm, steady precision. Swap the strap to match your mood or outfit; the watch remains a constant—discreet at the office, vibrant at dinner. Night settles over the city, shop windows shimmer on rain-dark pavements, and the moonless sky takes on the deep tone of velvet. On the wrist, the Heure H casts a faint halo: the sunray black catches the streetlights, the silver markers light up, and it feels like reading the time through a porthole onto the constellations. Time doesn’t merely pass—it radiates; a single gesture, the eye glides over crisp numerals, and the moment is framed.

Born in 1996, the Heure H entered Hermès’ watchmaking vocabulary as a graphic punctuation mark—a monogram turned into volume. Over the years, the steel, small-format ref. HH1.210 has found its place on wrists that value the balance between style and function. The 21 × 30 mm generation, slim and impeccable accompanied the 2000s and 2010s, before today’s “Small Model” moved to a 25 mm format, without diminishing the relevance of the original design that made the line’s reputation.

Technically, everything serves legibility and comfort. The black sunburst dial draws light toward the center, heightening the contrast of hands and numerals and giving the whole a nocturnal depth reminiscent of a calm sky. The polished steel case keeps sharp edges that play with reflections; the sapphire crystal ensures lasting protection; the screwed caseback provides urban water-resistance to 3 ATM; the Swiss quartz movement delivers everyday precision without fuss. Thanks to the fitted spring bars, strap changes take moments, whether pairing with Hermès leathers or a simple white shirt. Day to day, it keeps pace with an active schedule—dark dial in morning light, graphic elegance under a blazer. By evening, the Heure H becomes a discreet jewel: the sunburst black turns subtly metallic, the silver markers shimmer with the city lights. The small model flatters slender wrists, slips under a cuff, and maintains a contemporary presence that never overstates itself.
