Hermès
The shapes of time

Between simple shapes and play of perceptions, the maison continues its exploration of time.

Arceau Chevaloscope

Description

Associating Hermès emblematic animal with airborne leisure, the Arceau Chevaloscope features a dial adorned with a colourful horse-shaped hot-air balloon. Requiring more than 120 hours of work for one dial, this scene is created using Grand Feu enamel. Each layer of paint is fired to bring out the colours and highlights this unique design with its pop-style shades.
