Hermès

The Hermès Arceau Petite Lune watch is a stunning fusion of elegance and artistry inspired by the interplay of light and shadow. Its deep blue gradient lacquered dial shimmers with diamond accents in a gem-set steel case. Designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978, the Arceau collection is known for its timeless round case and asymmetrical stirrup-shaped lugs.

This Arceau Petite Lune features a steel case set with 99 diamonds and crowned with a rose-cut diamond. The dial evokes a celestial eclipse with a gradient blue-lacquered finish, highlighted by 15 diamonds encircling its core. A starry moon-phase display adds a touch of cosmic charm, with slender openworked hands powered by the Hermès H1837 self-winding movement.

Turn the watch over, and the sapphire case-back reveals intricate craftsmanship, including circular-grained and snailed finishing and the signature “sprinkling of Hs” motif on the bridges and oscillating weight. Completing the design is an interchangeable abyss blue alligator strap, a testament to Hermès’ legendary leatherworking expertise, all made in their Horloger workshops.
