When it comes to mosaic inlay art, people will think of the mottled light and shadow and the beautiful visual effects. The perfect craftsmanship will render the colorful and colorful collage elements into the most beautiful. Glamorous pattern. Hermes took inspiration from the 2018 “Robedu Soir” silk scarf designed by Florence Manlik in 2018, and used 2,200 tiny leather square pieces to insert the side silhouette of the horse in the Arceau watch with a diameter of 41 mm. The shiny round rose gold case, asymmetric lugs and slim lancet needles perfectly complement the texture and beautiful color of the leather mosaic inlay pattern, which contrasts with the electro-optical blue background and the same-color strap. This timepiece reflects the leather and saddle making skills inherited from Hermès to this day. This watch is limited to 12 pieces.
ARCEAU Robe du Soir Watch
A well-preserved notebook records the process of Hermès craftsman’s intensive study. She turned imagination into reality and achieved little-known top secret techniques. One and a half years of painstaking effort created perfect craftsmanship and excellent touch. Over the course of several weeks, thousands of square pieces of colored leather turned into stunning miniature works of art with dexterous hands and meticulous patience. Carefully selected full-grain calfskin is first carefully cut into more than 3,500 panels, and then 2,200 pieces of leather panels suitable for square inch creation are set in the exquisite dial to outline Hermes ‘Robedu Soir’ Steed pattern for scarves.
Xi Chuanshi Saddle Technology
全新 This new rose gold Arceau craft watch highlights its distinctive style with gorgeous colors. The brightly-colored steeds and the electro-optic blue background shine brightly, and the same color Swift smooth calfskin strap is a beautiful background. Henrid’Origny’s design in 1978-the popular round case and asymmetrical lugs in the shape of a stirrup give the watch a classic charm. Driven by the Hermes-made self-winding movement, the slender hands slowly move across the dial of the leather mosaic inlay to get out of the rhythm of time. Through the sapphire crystal case back, you can appreciate the dynamic beauty of the movement.
