Vitro Architectural Glass’ Glass Technology Center, located north of Pittsburgh, has conducted architectural glass research and development for more than 60 years. The company says it is the largest glass research and development facility in North America, with a staff of more than 60 technicians, engineers and scientists.

Vitro’s architectural glass business traces its roots to Pittsburgh Plate Glass, founded in 1883. Vitro acquired PPG’s flat glass business in 2016 and has since invested in its U. S. manufacturing operations and the technology center.

First Look: Hermès Brightens the Glass Fibre H08 with White and Blue Editions - Monochrome Watches

Hermès introduced the H08 collection in 2021 as a different take on the sporty-chic watch, first launched as a time-and-date series, then updated with a monopusher chronograph and, more recently, a skeleton model. The H08 stands out for its rounded square case, original Arabic numerals on the dial, and a mix of surfaces and materials that feels more considered than technical. Since then, the H08 has embraced titanium and ceramic, and in 2023 added references in a lightweight braided glass-fibre case coated with aluminium and slate powder, with concrete-grey dials and bright colour accents. The two latest editions keep the same recognisable silhouette and materials-led approach, bringing new colours. These new H08 models retain their thin 39mm cushion-shaped case with softly rounded edges, measuring 10.6mm in height. The case is made from braided glass-fibre composite with an aluminium-coated surface, delivering a brighter colour than the previous slate-coated editions. The material’s interwoven structure gives it a distinctive appearance, while its lightweight construction suits the watch’s character.
