Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé (2024)

Case is in 18k rose gold in 43mm, sapphire crystal with display case back; water resistant to 30m. The watch is one of Hermes’ rare grand complications; an all new hand-wound Calibre H1926, with a central triple-axis tourbillon and a minute repeater, running on a 5Hz balance. The movement is an extensive development by Le Cercle des Horlogers. Technically complicated but also keeping its elegance, emphasizing Hermès’s rich equestrian heritage, the watch dial and movement details nod to the Duc Attelé carriage, marrying technical mastery with thematic elegance. And if you take a deeper look at the movement construction, you can see it mimic a horse and carriage, and when the minute repeater is activated, the horse will move.

Power reserve is 48-hour.
