A Deep Blue Hue for an Elegant Aura

In 1978, Henri d'Origny, Hermès' legendary designer, broke away from conventional notions of round watch aesthetics to design the Arceau, a timepiece that is both classical and uniquely striking. The case, with its asymmetrical lugs inspired by a stirrup, and the italicized indices reminiscent of a galloping horse, exude an elegance that has remained unchanged to this day. It is truly a masterpiece born from Hermès' originality and savoir-faire.
The newly added "Arceau" Grand Lune to this collection is a watch with a serene presence, featuring a sunburst-finished blue dial in a deep blue, paired with a blue abyss alligator strap. The stainless steel case is complemented by a sapphire crystal case back, further enhancing the deep blue tones.
The dial, with its slender hands and italicized indices, creates a sense of dynamism. It is equipped with a moon phase indicator and a date counter adorned with stars, while two windows displaying the month and day of the week are positioned below the Hermès logo at 12 o'clock. This is an elegant watch crafted with Hermès' artisanal skill.
