Intyropducing he Arceau L’heure de la lune watch by Hermes offering an original interpretation of the moon phase complication. The Hermès Arceau L’heure de la lune timepiece is issued in two 100-piece limited editionswith a price of Euro 23,000.
The Arceau L’heure de la lune watch offers an original interpretation of the moon phase complication while showcasing the Hermès watchmaking expertise.
Framed by a white gold case with typical asymmetrical lugs, the lacquered satellite dials float above hemispherical moons and meteorite or aventurine backgrounds.
In a provocative way, the displays have swapped cardinal points, with the south above and the north below. This way, Hermès invite observers to lose their bearings.
At 12 o’clock, the moon is adorned by a Pegasus created by designer Dimitri Rybaltchenko. Entitled Pleine Lune (Full Moon), this portrayal of the winged horse hints at a passage between two worlds, where magic and reality merge. On the other side, at 6 o’clock, the view of the moon from the northern hemisphere provides a realistic depiction of its surface.
The mobile counters displaying the time and date turn slowly but constantly to reveal the moon discs, while maintaining their horizontal orientation.
The 28,800 vph (4Hz) manufacture Hermès H1837 movement is integrated by a complication module exclusively developed for Hermès by Chronode and for which a patent has been filed. Finishes include circular-grained and snailed baseplate, satin-brushed bridges and oscillating weight and the signature “H” pattern.
In this new model, the emblematic Arceau case designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978 has a diameter of 43 mm and is water resistant to 30 metres.
The Hermès Arceau L’heure de la lune timepiece is issued in two 100-piece limited editions, and fitted with a matt alligator strap in graphite grey or abyss blue. Both versions have a price of Euro 23,000. hermes.com
