A new addition to the Hermès Arceau line is the new Arceau Grande Lune. Featuring a deep blue dial with a sunburst motif highlights the creativity of a timeless model. In 1978, Henri d’Origny freed the round watch from established aesthetic codes by imagining a classic and singular curve: the Arceau watch was born. Its case with asymmetrical stirrup-shaped attachments and sloping Arabic numerals evoking a galloping horse reveal a discreet and enduring elegance that lends itself to every possible expression of Hermès creativity and know-how.
The sunburst blue face of the new Arceau Grande Lune is paired with a matching Abyss blue alligator strap, an intense color accentuated by the casual elegance of the steel case and sapphire case back. Swept over by slender hands and enlivened by sloping numerals creating an in-motion effect, this dynamic-looking display is complemented by a moon phase and date chapter ring adorned with a starry sky, as well as a double day and month aperture appearing beneath the Hermès logo. Hours, minutes, seconds, and complete calendar indications are displayed to the rhythm of a generic Swiss automatic movement housed in a 43 mm stainless steel case crafted in the Hermès watchmaking workshops, just as are the dial and the alligator strap.
