Merci x Hodinkee

After multiple years of planning and collaboration that included meetings in both Paris and New York, we're thrilled to finally share our project: It's the Merci LMM-H01 Limited Edition with HODINKEE (1500 pieces). a hand-wound, Swiss-made three-hander with a cool grey dial and loads of charm.

In the course of 11 years, HODINKEE has established itself as the preeminent resource for modern and vintage wristwatch enthusiasts. Founder and CEO Benjamin Clymer and his team of writers are known for their innate understanding of both historical references and the most cutting-edge haute horlogerie, and more importantly, can explain them in a way that is both entertaining and easy to understand. The HODINKEE team circles the globe looking for the most interesting stories about watches, watch collectors, watch makers, and more, and then tells those stories.

The LMM-H01 is focused entirely on the details, intended to highlight the true intangibles of a quality, understated design.

The LMM-H01 has all the characteristics you want in a time-only watch – well-proportioned case, drilled lugs, a legible dial, and hand-wound ETA 2801-2 inside.

For the LMM-H01, we crafted a new visual profile based on the first LMM-01, now highlighted by a grey dial with white and blue accents and three-dimensional applied numerals. There's not a date window in sight, or any application of lume, and there's no excessive or loud elements meant to distract or call undue attention to the watch. The typography used on the dial, for example, is Helvetica – clean and classic. The Arabic numerals on the dial, on the other hand, are Jonathan Hoefler's Decimal, a font specifically inspired by vintage watches.

A mixed watch

Modest and minimalist, the 37.5mm × 11mm case profile of the Merci LMM-H01 features downturned drilled lugs that ensure a versatile and inclusive wearing experience for all genders.
