Recently, Hermès officially released the new Arceau Petite lune watch, which inherits the classic elements of the Arceau series.

New watches consolidate high-end market position

It is worth mentioning that the launch of this new Arceau Petite Lune watch also means that Hermès has taken a further step in the layout of the high-end watch market.

Details of the new Arceau Petite lune watch

Back to this new watch, the strap of the Hermès Arceau Petite Lune watch still uses a dark blue crocodile leather strap, the same as the previous style. However, the new crocodile leather strap adopts an interchangeable design, which is great. It is not only convenient for users to wear, but also gives users an additional personalized choice in the choice of strap.

Hermès’ accomplishments in the field of timepieces and high standards of materials

In addition to the interchangeable alligator leather strap, the overall design of this Arceau Petite lune watch is also great. The size of the case is 36 mm, the thickness is 12.9 mm, and it is made of stainless steel. In order to enhance the luxury of the watch, the bezel, lugs and back of the new Arceau Petite Lune watch are inlaid with 99 round brilliant-cut diamonds. The number is much more than the previous model, and the luxury is further enhanced. In addition to the crown, the top luxury configuration of the watch is also reflected in the crown. The rose-cut diamond used as the winding mechanism is also set on the watch.

Henri d’Origny and Arceau series design concepts

The Hermès Arceau series of watches was originally designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978. This series of watches has always adhered to the fusion of innovation and elegance in its design concept. The unique oblique Arabic numerals, elegant saddle-shaped lugs, and round domes symbolizing equestrian culture have made this series of watches one of the classic masterpieces of the Hermès brand.

The moon phase and celestial scene design of the new Arceau Petite lune watch

The design of the new Arceau Petite Lune watch continues the classic elements of the series, including the round case and oblique Arabic numerals. In order to further enhance the luxury of the watch, the new Arceau Petite lune watch is also inlaid with a moon-shaped natural mother-of-pearl at the 12 o’clock position and made into a moon surface. In this way, when the moon waxes and wanes, the moon represented by this mother-of-pearl will also rotate accordingly, thus realizing a dynamic moon phase display function. The new Arceau Petite lune watch not only has a moon phase display function, but also has an hour and minute display function, and the hollowed-out hour and minute hands are used to indicate the changes in the hours and minutes.

In terms of watch design, the new Arceau Petite lune watch combines the moon phase display with the solar eclipse scene. The 15 diamonds set on the blue lacquer dial are not only used to outline the relationship between the moon, sun, and earth, but also show the phenomenon of solar eclipse. As the hour hand, minute hand and dynamic moon phase display change together, the watch interprets the scene of the solar eclipse. In order to enhance the light and dark changes in the solar eclipse scene, the new Arceau Petite lune watch also uses a light and dark gradient treatment on the blue lacquer dial, making the solar eclipse appear more three-dimensional.

It can be seen from the above details that Hermès is very strict with the materials and processes used in this new Arceau Petite Lune watch, which is why it is positioned in the luxury market.

Conclusion

In short, Hermès’ Arceau Petite Lune watch is excellent in both design and function, especially the combination of dynamic moon phases and solar eclipse, which is simply a highlight in the watch industry!
