GEM SETTING EXTRAORDINAIRE
Hermès Arceau H déco
Framed by a gold and diamond case, the Arceau H deco motif from Hermès is inspired by the eponymous tableware and appears as a distinctive decorative interpretation along with the dial center bearing a double H that twirls in step with the movement of the wrist. The Arceau watch, designed by Henri d’Origny back in 1978, highlights two crafts in a new creation imbued with the Art Deco spirit. Crafted from mother-of-pearl marquetry and set with diamonds, a dial with a moving heart reinterprets the H déco pattern of the porcelain tableware: a black and white motif inspired by the ironwork adorning the boutique on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. The watch is completed with a sapphire crystal, which is engraved with the Hermès logo that appears as if levitating.
