Bleu Céleste Kilim, with an appropriate Aurora backdrop!

Did you use a green screen, use ai 🤖 or did you take it as a spatial photo on the Vision Pro and it added a background like that?

It was real! To the naked eye it was mostly a spooky, strong red glow across the sky with some faded vertical streaks but a long exposure with a camera revealed more color and upped the drama. Likely would’ve looked more like what the camera saw if I wasn’t in a city with light pollution. Very cool to experience!

October is the best month for auroras. Just gotta be north enough. Norway, Iceland, Canada...

Even better with a new moon.

Last night most of the world could see them! As far south as Florida on my side of the globe, down to New Zealand on the other. They fluctuated in and out of view though so folks could’ve gone outside expecting to see something and missed it. I kept watching for a few hours and it was lovely!

Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a 41mm Kilim single tour kaki? I am late to the hermes band game and would really love that color. Just got my hands on a 42mm noir yesterday but now out on the hunt for a 41mm. I would settle for a good dupe, but a real one would be fantastic.

Might not be of any help, but Hermes France have a bunch of colours available. Sadly, no khaki.

I wonder if you were to reach out to your local boutique if they could help find one?

To me, orange is more casual. I didn't rate it on the non-Hermes titanium finishes. The brighter silver titanium casing suits it just right. I think it looks great on silver aluminium too.

Can you show us the difference between the silver Hermes finishes steel v titanium? I guess I must have read wrong but I thought the thread consensus was everything “silver” matches.

With sufficient lighting it can be quite similar, but with indoor lighting the natural is several shades darker most of the time. The lugs match sufficiently in that it's a small area and both are shiny metals.

Probably also a matter personal opinion.

One question I have is why is the Radial face so dim on always on mode?
Apple are getting a lot of criticism for not updating the standard watch faces with ticking second hand for AOD.

Maybe, just maybe Apple will get their act together. They might even give the Hermes faces some love. Here's to optimism 🍻

How can Apple not update their faces for the new size as well. This would never pass with Jony Ive at the helm. He actually cared about small details…. Instead, he got blamed for Intel’s mistakes.
