Pre-SIHH 2019: Hermès Arceau 78
The Arceau is recognizable thanks to its asymmetrical lugs. The lugs at the top are inspired by equestrian stirrups, while the lugs at the bottom are in a more traditional form and are integrated with the strap. The other striking feature of the Arceau is its sloping numerals which were inspired by the movement of a horse’s gallop.
This brand-new “Very Large Model”, as the brand calls it, is housed in a 40mm mirror-polished stainless steel case with a matt stainless steel bezel which has been bead-blasted for this modern brushed effect. The dial comes in an elegant grained anthracite color and the numerals and hands are enhanced with an elegant cream SuperLumiNova. The watch is completed with a natural Barenia calf leather strap crafted in the Hermès Horloger workshops, along with the case and dial.
