A Unique Timepiece Depicting a Silver Wolf and the Night Sky Through Enamel Artistry
Following the bear-motif model released in 2017, the "Arceau Awooooo" presents a miniature painting of a wolf, meticulously crafted using the enamel technique.
The wolf, a motif from designer Alice Shirley's "Awooooo" men's scarf, is rendered with wild, detailed artistry on the dial through the artisan's precise handiwork. The translucent white enamel dial is meticulously worked and polished to a smooth finish by the artisan, outlining the motif. Then, using an ultra-fine brush, enamel powder mixed with natural oils is applied for painting. This beautiful miniature is completed through repeated cycles of drying and firing.
This dial is paired with the Arceau's signature curved white gold case, featuring stirrup-shaped lugs, enhancing the image of the wolf howling at the night sky. The strap is crafted from graphite-colored alligator leather, harmonizing beautifully with the silver wolf and the classical color palette.
This timepiece is now available worldwide, with a limited production of 8 pieces, each bearing a serial number.
