Originally designed in 1978 by the famed Henri d’Origny, the all-new Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé watch is a deft blend of aesthetics and haute horology. The alluring 43mm titanium timepiece boasts a triple-axis tourbillon whose opening is so large that it seems to rise out of the center of the dial to showcase its mesmerizing constant revolutions. The three carriages of the escapement each rotate at different speeds for a delightful dance. Additionally, the watch is a minute repeater that chimes the hours, quarter hours and minutes. The U-shaped peripheral equestrian- inspired gongs reside at 6 o’clock. The complex mechanical manual-wind movement consists of 563 individual components. Just 24 pieces will be made; each will be numbered.
