Montre Hermès turns to the wonders of the sky with this new model in
its Arceau collection. The celestially inspired design features the
emblematic “Duc Attelé” Hermès emblem which is created with using the
paillonné enamel technique (demonstrated in this video by Van Cleef & Arpels).
First the gold dial is meticulously hand-engraved with the Hermes
pattern, then covered with translucent blue pigments and repeatedly
fired in a kiln at nearly 800°C. Hand made gold stars also placed
during the enamelling process for further visual effect. The watch is
powered by the auto-mechanical Hermes H1928 movement (exclusively
crafted by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier) with a solid gold oscillating
weight adorned with a sprinkling of H symbols, visible through the
sapphire crystal case-back (sorry no, pics). Paired with a matching
indigo colored gator strap.
