Designed by Henri d'Origny in 1978, the Arceau watch expresses an understated yet singular nature. Its timeless silhouette takes the form of round case with asymmetrical lugs evoking stirrups. Issued in a numbered 24-piece limited series, the Arceau Lift tourbillon répétition minutes so black features a black grand feu enamel dial revealing part of its captivating mechanism.

Visible through the cut-out of the equestrian profile, the complex mechanism of the double-gong minute repeater is truly captivating. This traditional complication is combined here with another horological exception – the flying tourbillon – nestling in the horse's neck and revealed through a round aperture at 6 o'clock. The double-H tourbillon structure is inspired by an emblematic motif of the Hermès boutique in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. This distinctive design surmounting the carriage and barrel bridge echoes the shape of the wrought iron adorning the entrance, railings, staircase and elevator of the Parisian establishment.

Swept over by slender, hollowed-out hands, the dial is punctuated by sloping numerals evoking a galloping horse, the signature of the Arceau line. The dial cut-outs and the sapphire case-back reveal the Manufacture Hermès H1924 mechanical hand-wound movement ensuring a crystal-clear chime for the minute repeater.

Housed in a titanium case measuring 43 mm in diameter and incorporating two major Haute Horlogerie complications, this light yet robust model was crafted in the Hermès Horloger workshops, as was the matt black alligator strap.

The off-centred hours and minutes dial at 12 o’clock frees up substantial space for displaying complications, such as this spherical moon measuring 12 mm in diameter.

The visible crescent of the moon lights up at night thanks to the Super-LumiNova. The shaded part is made up of meteorite, a feat never used in this three-dimensional configuration.

The large moon emerges from the main plate of the A&S1021 calibre without upsetting the overall balance of the timepiece.

The lunar globe thus appears halfway up the movement, perfectly positioned between the top and bottom. The upper part is encased in a glass box.

This technique has been repeated on the case-back side, where the sapphire crystal rests on the wrist. By placing most of the volume in these sapphire crystals, the Luna Magna’s case has a total height of 15.9 mm.

Luna Magna is driven by the A&S1021 calibre, which has been fully developed, manufactured, assembled, and adjusted in the Manufacture.

This new hand-wound calibre, which has been designed with the lunar globe in mind, features a 90-hour power reserve and a regulating organ oscillating at a frequency of 3 Hz. The movement also includes a secondary display detailing the age of the moon on the case-back side.

And the correction is easy, since Luna Magna Platinum’s lunar function is accessible directly from the crown. A practical solution made possible by Arnold & Son’s total mastery of the watchmaking process.
