Hermès unveils ‘Hyperreal Hermès Hub’ watch

Recently, the luxury brand Hermès officially released its new Arceau Hermès Locomotion “Superreal Hermès Hub” watch. This watch is not only functionally practical, but also eye-catching in terms of artistry.

The dial of this watch is surrounded by a circle of brilliant diamonds, shining with dazzling light. We often say that time is money, and this watch uses diamonds to explain this. The level of luxury is self-evident.

The design of the watch is inspired by the handkerchief art work created by Ugo Bienvenu. This work perfectly combines futurism and pop art, showing the unique style of the Hermès head office at 24 Avenue Sainte-Tena in Paris. This watch is exactly an extension and re-creation of the scarf’s artistic work.

Ugo Bienvenu’s use of bold colors and exaggerated shapes on handkerchiefs demonstrates his unique perspective on life, while also injecting new vitality into this classic Hermès series.

As a luxury brand, Hermès has always cooperated with the world’s top artists to launch some highly collectible limited edition products to expand the brand’s influence and creativity in the luxury market.

A combination of traditional and modern art

Although Ugo Bienvenu is a French painter, he is also a director. He uses simple geometric shapes and bright colors on scarves to outline a futuristic art world.

The design concept of the “Surreal Hermès Hub” watch is to reorganize common elements in traditional watch design and inject elements of modern art into it. In this way, the original dull mechanical structure is given new life, and it also gives people a visually surreal impact.

For example, the parts that use numbers or scales to represent time in traditional watches have turned into animals of different shapes in this watch. Some of these animals open their mouths and bark, and some shake their heads and tails, which are very lively and interesting. As time goes by, these animals will undergo different changes, and the whole process is like a wonderful show that makes people dizzy.

Hermès’ newly released “Hyperreal Hermès Hub” watch changes the design concept of traditional watches and incorporates modern art elements into it. This is not only a subversion of traditional watchmaking technology, but also promotes the development of the entire watch design industry.

As Ugo Bienvenu said: “I hope that my work can break people’s understanding of traditional watchmaking craftsmanship and let everyone see that watchmaking is not only a skill, but also an art.”

In addition, this Arceau Hermès Locomotion watch also uses micro-painting technology, which is extremely difficult and requires a very high technical level of watchmakers. In the big Eastern countries, only some top jewelers dare to try this craft, because if it fails, it will not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but even the creative inspiration will be greatly affected.

Hermès is obviously not lacking in these. They have enough strength and confidence to challenge this craft and have succeeded, which further enhances the artistic value of this watch.

As a new member of the classic series, the “Surreal Hermès Hub” watch is equipped with the Hermès H1912 self-made movement. The 38mm white gold case contains the movement. It is equipped with a sapphire crystal mirror on the front and a sapphire transparent bottom plate on the back. The overall performance is very excellent.

What’s even more gratifying is that this watch is limited to 12 pieces, which is undoubtedly a very attractive option for collectors who love luxury goods.

Conclusion

In short, Hermès’s “Surreal Hermès Hub” watch is not only a symbol of luxury, but also a bold challenge to the traditional art of watchmaking. It perfectly combines art and function, allowing us to re-examine the value of watches.
