At Hermès, this era is magically transformed into a fascinating, alluring object. These one-off pieces exude emotion, all the more powerful because they combine two major complications.
In each of these watchmaking creations, a detail or a stylistic combination opens the door to the realm of Hermès elegance, unaffected by trends. The passion for equestrianism is present in many forms, such as the lugs in the shape of the stirrups of a riding boot in the Arceau collection imagined by Henri d’Origny. For the Lifting Tourbillon RépétitionMinutes model, the chain is very prominent, as the white lacquered or dark blue dial (depending on the version) features a stylized cutout of a horse’s head. This openwork motif is more than a nod to the aesthetic identity of the Parisian brand. It sets the stage for two fascinating watchmaking complications.
At 6 o’clock, a flying tourbillon shows off its rhythm. Its architecture features a double H, echoing the iconic logo of the historic Parisian boutique at Faubourg Saint-Honoré. This perfectly rounded design crowns the cage and bridge. On the horse’s head, a minute repeater with double gongs strikes the hours, quarters and minutes. The caseback triggers the sound with a low-profile pusher at 9 o’clock. The prestigious engineering of the H1924 movement is housed in a 43 mm diameter rose or white gold case. The sapphire crystal caseback admires the other components of the manual-winding movement, which is equipped with an impressive power reserve: 90 hours!
The Arceau Lift Tourbillon RépétitionMinutes is complemented by a Havana or dark blue alligator leather strap forged in the saddler’s workshop.
