The classic design of the Arceau watch makes it an ideal showcase for expressions of horology and craftsmanship that are as creative as they are demanding. Designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978, its round shape with asymmetrical stirrup lugs is reinvented with the inherent ease of a resolutely timeless model.

The understated yet distinctive 43 mm polished titanium or rose gold case of the Arceau Duc Attelé highlights the alliance between Hermès style and expertise. The central triple-axis tourbillon and the ‘tuning-fork’ minute repeater are in harmony with the Hermès world of Haute Horlogerie and equestrian aesthetics.

The association of these two major complications with a high-frequency movement – a first – is revealed at the heart of the watch, where every technical and stylistic detail reveals its share of unexpected details and meticulous care.

On the dial side, a sapphire dome tops the tri-axial tourbillon and its mirror-polished double H-shaped titanium carriages.

Representing initials of the founding couple, Émile Hermès and Julie Hollande, these intertwined letters echo the ironwork adorning the lift in the original Parisian boutique at 24 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. Embodying a feat of mechanical miniaturisation, this tourbillon featuring three cages, axes and speeds of rotation operating within a curved, eccentric hour-circle.

The hours-minutes display is punctuated by Arabic numerals inclined like a galloping horse. To enhance the visibility of this horological achievement, claw-shaped hands appear around the rim of the chapter ring. Their blue hue complements the 48-hour power reserve indicator appearing at the base of the dial.

Evoking sound-wave propagation, the dynamic striped guilloché decoration of the titanium model echoes the minute repeater hammers sculpted in the shape of a horse.

Chiming the hours, quarters and minutes via a dedicated slide on the side of the case, they strike the elongated U-shaped branches of the long hardenedsteel gong visible around the edge of the dial, whose rich tones are also reminiscent of cathedral chimes.

This ‘tuning fork’ structure ensures optimal resonance, amplified by the material used for the case that is both lightweight and endowed with excellent acoustic properties.

Hand-wound via the 3 o’clock crown, the Arceau Duc Attelé watch beats to a precise rhythm thanks to its Manufacture H1926 movement equipped with a high-frequency balance. The reference refers to the year in which major renovation work was completed at the Paris boutique on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

All this can be admired through a sapphire caseback inviting observers to contemplate a singular décor. The remarkable gears feature a cut-out design inspired by the wheels of the Duc attelé: a canopy-top four-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses.

Inspired by a drawing that is the work of 19th century French animal painter and master of equestrian art Alfred Dreux, this tribute to the House’s identity was acquired by Émile Hermès in 1920.

The mainplate and bridges of Calibre H1926 feature an anthracite PVD treatment accentuating the light colour of the chiming mechanism, its horse head-and-mane racks and its toothed wheels picked up from the Hermès carriage.

The openworked sapphire-crystal strikework bridge further enhances the sound of the minute repeater while revealing the movement’s hand-finishing, its gold chatons, generous jewels and mirror-polished screws.

Available in titanium or rose gold versions – each issued in a numbered 24-piece limited edition – the Arceau Duc Attelé watch is paired with a matt anthracite or matt abyss blue alligator strap crafted in the Hermès Horloger workshops.

Hermès – ARCEAU Chorus Stellarum Lacquered Miniature Dial 41mm White Gold Edition 2024

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Featuring mobile appliques, engraving and miniature painting, the Arceau watch comes to life in a whimsical and mischievous equestrian universe.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Despite its classical appearance, the Arceau watch designed by Henri d’Origny loves playing the transformation game. It's round case topped by asymmetrical stirrup-shaped lugs welcomes a wealth of remarkable and demanding artistic crafts. Embellished by engraving and miniature painting, its timeless yet singular aesthetic becomes an object of Hermès creativity and expertise.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Two exclusive interpretations reveal a decorative world that is at times fantasy-tinged and at others futuristic, inspired by the Chorus Stellarum silk scarf designed by Daiske Nomura. The characters - dashing skeleton riders astride their noble steeds - are embodied in mobile yellow gold appliques, engraved and painted by hand.

Driven by a spring mechanism linked to the 9 o’clock pusher, these gothic vanities swing into action at the flick of a thumb in a smooth “on-demand impulse” animation that sees them prance around a gilded constellation created using the champlevé technique.

Like a celestial painting, this new zodiac featuring symbols subtly borrowed from the Émile Hermès collection reveals the equestrian skies in a dazzling canvas of colourful lacquer-coated motifs, enhanced by applied rhodium-plated stars.

These combined forms of craftsmanship reinterpret the festive and esoteric theme of celebrating the passing of time, conceptualised by the Japanese illustrator who revels in staging and diverting various Hermès emblems, associating them with contemporary cartoon, manga and gaming culture.

This alliance of art, relief and radiance is highlighted by a slender white gold case measuring 41 mm in diameter, set with 70 diamonds on the version adorned with a skeleton horsewoman.

Beating at the heart of the case, the Manufacture Hermès Hermès H1837 movement – complete with its fine finishing and the ‘sprinkling of Hs’ motif adorning its bridges and oscillating weight – can be admired through the sapphire crystal case-back.

Hermes – ARCEAU Mon Premier Galop Edition

  

Hermès – ARCEAU Mon Premier Galop Leather marquetry and Silk thread Dial 38mm Steel - Bezel Diamonds Edition 2024

Silk threads interweave with colourful leather fragments against a limpid enamel sky, bringing to life the first strides of a galloping horse – Hermès Arceau Mon Premier Galop.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978, the timeless Arceau watch revels in playing the transformation game. Epitomising Hermès style, its round case with stirrup-shaped lugs welcomes several highly creative and demanding artistic crafts. Enhanced with leather marquetry, silk threads and miniature painting, the Arceau Mon Premier Galop watch thus unites a diverse range of skills.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO     

Its singular aesthetic reveals a joyful interpretation of the Mon Premier Galop shawl by artist Tong Ren. Fascinated by traditional basketry work, the Chinese-born designer combines simple lines, colour blocks and refined decorative-trimming motifs.

His drawing depicts a horse moving across the sand, accompanied by a fluttering butterfly and lit up by a mischievous sun playing with the clouds. Its faltering gait imbued with a sense of fragility and daring evokes the moment of grace of those first steps of horseback.

This magical moment comes to life on the dial of the Arceau Mon Premier Galop watch with its 30-piece jigsaw-like nature uniting several skills deeply cherished by Hermès. The sky and the radiant sun are crafted in enamel, a meticulous technique that involves applying a multitude of enamel layers with a brush and drying them in a kiln to guarantee unique colours and contrasts.

Standing out against this radiant blue background, the horse composed of silk threads along with fine tesserae in various shades of leather that are first trimmed to just 0.5 mm thick. Individually assembled on the dial, the leather and silk threads form a delicate, colourful decor enlivened by a tiny hand-painted gold mobile applique.
