DESCRIPTION

  • “Letting the imagination run free is not a flight into the unreal, it is not escapism; it is instead the expression of boldness and inventiveness.”
    Eugène Ionesco

    Based on the Hermès theme for 2009, “The Great Escape”, the craftsmen and designers of La Montre Hermès have given free rein to their creativity. They invite us to travel to a place where horological emotions meet and mingle with technical virtuosity, guided by the relentless pursuit of innovation and a perpetual quest for excellence that merge to create a smooth and harmonious inventive flow. With the heart as a driving force and the hand to guide their imagination, they freely interpret a theme that resonates like a challenge to push the boundaries of existing skills, opening up unexplored vistas for the tradition in perpetual motion that binds their artistic crafts together in a same community of spirit. The nimble gestures of leather craftsmen, watchmaker and enamelled artists have shaped the dreams of “The Great Escape” by the Maison Hermès, devoting countless hours to reaching that magical point where technical complexity gives way to essentials: sheer beauty and that perfect moment in time.

    Time… the intimate and indispensable companion of travellers and craftsmen. Infinitely variable and endowed with an elastic nature that expands or contracts according to the feelings by which we measure it. Time that glides by in flowing and classically elegant seconds, as on the dial of the Arceau chronograph, as smoothly as the stride of a sorrel thoroughbred horse. Time that dictates the eternal cycle of the moon with astronomical precision and, secured by a saddle leather strap, gives the owner of the Arceau Pocket moon phases watch the sense of actually holding its elusive self in the palm of his hand. Time interpreted by the delicate strokes of the artist’s brush creating the mesmerising depths of the grand feu enamelled painting on the Cape Cod “Galloping H”. And finally, time that pauses for an 8-day stop-over, captivated by the crystal sphere of a boule clock and the inner journey of the hands punctuating the mysterious dance of the hours.

    Exceptional timepieces, representing a series of “great escapes” to the very core of the art of time and the spirit of the House. Through their nobility of their materials, their emblematic lines, the impressive performances of their calibres and the refinement of their finishing, these objects of genuine passion and emotion contribute to establishing the fact that in the world of Hermès as in that of Haute Horlogerie, dreams represent the true victory over time.

    ARCEAU


    The Arceau model elegantly expresses the original source of inspiration of the House of Hermès: the equestrian world. A single steel stirrup prolongs the case with its integrated asymmetrical lugs securing a strap fastened by a folding clasp. The evocative design of the sloping numerals lends a unique cadence to the beautiful hours depicted on the dial. Telling a long-established love story and conveying a wealth of expertise, Arceau makes its way through time with the understated boldness of a great classic.

    Arceau Pocket moon phases

    Reviving the elegance of the pocket-watch, the Arceau Pocket heralds a new manner of reading and experiencing time. At the heart of this rose or white gold model beats a mechanical self-winding movement, calibre H1929, driving the astronomical precision of its “moon phases” complication that requires no correction for 122 years and 46 days. The date is displayed by a retrograde hand moving across a 225° arc of a circle graduated from 1 to 31 days. The sapphire crystal case-back of this large 43.5 model enables one to admire the precision and the perfect manual execution of the 306 parts of its movement, including the bridge and oscillating weight adorned with a sprinkled H motif. Embodying the figurative and literal ties between the twin worlds of luxury leather craftsmanship and fine watchmaking, the generous Barenia strap of the Arceau Pocket instils the privileged sense of holding time in the palm of one’s hand. The Arceau Pocket is issued in two limited, numbered series of 24 each – one in rose gold and the other in white gold – in tribute to the historical address in Paris: 24, Rue du faubourg Saint-Honoré.
