The 38mm white gold case continues the classic, rounded design of the Arceau collection, with sleek and minimalist lugs. The bezel is set with 70 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 0.805 carats. The striking fire of the diamonds complements the shimmering “starry sky” of the dial.
The craftsmanship of the dial is both complex and ingenious:
-
The base layer is made of white mother-of-pearl.
-
The blue sections are crafted from extremely thin, translucent slices of blue aventurine.
-
The three “planets” are made of aragonite, opal, and mother-of-pearl.
-
A small moon phase display is positioned at 10 o’clock.
-
The aventurine is further adorned with 5 diamond stars.
Powered by the H1837 self-winding movement, it operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 46-hour power reserve. This movement is equipped with an independent moon phase module. The base plate is decorated with circular perlage, while the bridges and rotor feature the Hermès “H” pattern.
Paired with a blue alligator leather strap, the official price has not been announced.
