Hermès Highlights Craftsmanship With The New Arceau The Three Graces

Hermès has always been a brand that embraced artistic crafts. First and foremost, with their extensive leather collections, but also their watches have the spotlight on exquisite arts that so few master. The brand displays its unbelievable capabilities in this field once again with the Arceau The Three Graces, highlighting what is perhaps the most graceful creature of the animal kingdom, the giraffe.

A Colorful Trip To Paradise With The New Hermès Arceau

If there is one thing Hermès never seem to have a shortage of, it is creativity. Especially with their legendary Arceau watch, designed in 1978 by Henri d'Origny, they continue to dazzle with the most imaginative creations in Technicolor. This is also the case with the latest edition, the Arceau Toucan de Paradis. This exotic bird is known primarily because of its sizeable colorful beak. In 2020 the young British artist Katie Scott reimagined this unique animal for a silk Hermès scarf. In her signature style, she combined realism with bold colors. The result was not only imaginative but also very captivating, and it has the same effect on the dial of the Arceau.

Haute Time’s Hottest Ladies Watches Of 2020

One trend that remained in 2020 is that ladies' watches are no longer smaller men's watches with diamonds. More and more brands continued to strengthen their line-up in this category, often with vast amounts of creativity. The quartz movements are also not the standard anymore, as mechanical movements are becoming increasingly more popular in this category. The following watches are among our favorites of this year.

Hermès Goes For Blue With New Arceau Grande Lune

In some watches, all the favorites blend together in one. Such a timepiece is the new Arceau Grande Lune by Hermès. With this watch is the brand expanding its highly successful Arceau line. You can take this quite literally as this new addition is also immediately the largest member of the family, measuring 43mm in diameter.

Hermès Is Launching Exclusive US Limited Edition Of The Arceau L’heure de la lune

The Arceau is one of Hermès' emblematic designs created by the brand's legendary artistic director Henri d'Origny in 1978. Its stirrup-based design always has a certain elegance to it, which is doesn't lose when the watch's diameter is increasing. This was, in particular, proven by the Arceau L'heure de la lune, a watch that Hermès launched at the SIHH in 2019. As it measures 43mm in diameter, is this quite a large watch by Hermès standards, yet its attraction is just the same.

The New Hermès Arceau Lift Tourbillon Répétition Minutes; A Very Rare Delight

While Hermès is already very exclusive, is the new Arceau Lift Tourbillon Répétition Minutes even rarer. The brand will only make two examples of this watch, one in pink gold and one in white gold. That is also the biggest disappointment of this watch, as it impresses on all other fronts.

Hermès Takes The Porcelain Dial To New Heights

For Hermès, the dial of their watches is often the perfect canvas to express their creativity and craftsmanship. This is also the case with the new Arceau Harnais français remix. The brand got inspired by one of their vintage scarfs, which was designed by Hugo Grygkar, who served as Hermès in-house designer between the 1940s and 1959. He based his design in turn on a painting which was part of the private collection of Émile Hermès, which showed a team of horses in colorful harnesses with feathers.

Hermès Launches Dark Delight With New Arceau Ronde des Heures

The moon is a source of inspiration for Hermès, which leads to innovative creations. Earlier this year, the brand launched the Arceau L'Heure De La Lune, which showed the moon phase in a way never seen before. With its rotating subdials for the time and date, it gave the moon phase indication the lead role, instead of a supportive part. No wonder that the Arceau L'Heure De La Lune was one of the winning watches at the GPHG this year.

Four Ladies Watches That Don’t Need Diamonds To Be Elegant

Sometimes it seems almost mandatory; diamonds on a ladies watch. As if the use of these precious stones marks the difference for which sex a timepiece is created. While they can certainly add something, a watch without diamonds can be just as feminine, as these four watches prove!
