That goug-y reseller of lots of bands posted a blanc Kilim so I checked and sure enough it’s sold out at Apple. In fact Hermes itself only even shows the 41mm Celeste as far as Kilim.

And no 45 noir kilim at apple

Edit: didn’t realize I was on the UK Hermes store lol

Not sure if I am allowed to post this here, but I am selling a 44mm Rouge de Cœur/Rouge H Jumping Single Tour.
Too short for my 21mm wrist :(

The ultimate Summer Sunday Hermès band.

I've always loved that Jumping Band color combination - one of my favorites!
How did you get that analog date complication at the bottom? Is it a 3rd party complication? I have the Carrot app, but only see weather complications available, nothing for date/time. I love how it's minimal appearance doesn't distract from the Cape Cod numerals!

Yeah, it's a fantastic 3rd party, highly customizable date complication app called Better Day by Joey Castillo, but unfortunately is no longer available. I purchased it years ago for my Series 4 (I think for $0.99 at the time) as I don't really like Apple's date complications and this app allows the user to customize their own date complications. I keep expecting every new watchOS to break it, but it keeps going and my fingers are crossed it survives watchOS 11. It's a shame there are so many great apps that are abandoned by their devs, but I can understand when they become a time-burden.

I think the analog day/date sub-dial works really well with the Hermès Radial face, as I love the symmetry of the entire dial, so I prefer not to use the 3 o'clock date window. It's not for everyone, but I have always enjoyed it.

Bummer to hear about the discontinued app, but I agree - the analog day/date works well with this face too. I wish the designers would have made that bottom complication a little smaller. Some of them, like the earth/moon phase or default activity rings look so big. I think they distract from the delicate outlines of the face numerals... Hopefully, we'll get a new Hermès face again this fall.

I couldn't agree more. I think having such a giant complication on the Radial sucks your vision away from simply reading the time sometimes. Especially compared to the original Hermès faces with the built-in moon phase (I recently discovered the Carrick face looks really good with my Kilim).

If I didn't have this app, I'm not sure which complication I would use there (the compass is the only other one that looks good there, IMO). If I turned it off and only used the date window, I would be irritated as all hell seeing a huge blank space at the bottom. Definitely a love/hate dynamic.

Yep i can confirm the Bleu is absolutely beautiful also indeed!!
Have that one in my collection as well :)
I did it, I sourced a NIB Bleu De France, it’s on its way to me. Blue is my favorite color, and especially that shade of Blue. As it’s discontinued it will be harder to come by as time goes on.
