Hermès has consistently pushed the boundaries of watchmaking excellence. With each unveiling at the prestigious Watches & Wonders Geneva, the brand captivates enthusiasts with exclusive timepieces that blend tradition with innovation. Among the highlights of this year’s showcase is the Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé, a masterpiece that elevates the Arceau collection to new heights.
Originally conceived by Henri D’Origny in 1978, the Arceau line has been a canvas for Hermès to reimagine traditional complications with poetic flair. Each iteration has symbolized a convergence of craftsmanship and creativity, from the groundbreaking Arceau L’Heure De La Lune to the innovative Le Temps Voyageur Dual Time Zone. Building on this legacy, the Arceau Duc Attelé emerges with an altogether unique caliber that combines two revered complications – a triple-axis tourbillon and a minute repeater.
At the heart of the Arceau Duc Attelé lies its crowning glory – a central triple-axis tourbillon, a feat of engineering mastery that defies gravitational constraints. Encased within a 43mm titanium or rose gold case, this timepiece exudes elegance with its signature stirrup lugs and domed sapphire crystal. The dial, a mesmerizing tableau of guilloché patterns and floating indicators, showcases the intricate dance of time and mechanics.
Powered by the hand-wound Caliber H1926, the Arceau Duc Attelé boasts a 48-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 5Hz, ensuring impeccable accuracy and performance. The symmetrical architecture of the movement pays homage to the equestrian heritage of Hermès, with each component meticulously crafted to resemble the iconic Duc Attelé carriage.
Limited to just 24 pieces in each metal variant, the Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé is a rare collector’s gem. Whether adorned in titanium or rose gold, with pricing available upon request, this horological masterpiece represents Hermès at its best.
