• Hermès Weaves Silk Threads Into the Dials of Its New Arceau Watches

  Hermès continues its exploration of the world of decorative arts with the launch of the Arceau Cheval Natté, a limited-edition timepiece collection that quite literally brings silk into the art of watchmaking...

Hermès once again proves that watchmaking can be bold, conceptual, and stunningly beautiful with its latest haute horlogerie creation — the Arceau Hermès Locomotion. This exclusive limited edition is produced in a run of just 12 pieces.

At first glance, this 38mm white gold marvel with a dusty lilac alligator strap might leave you wondering, what’s going on here? But within moments, it becomes clear: this is a masterful fusion of pop art, jewelry craftsmanship, and watch engineering.

The centerpiece is a miniature painting inspired by the futuristic Locomotion scarf by French artist Ugo Bienvenu. The dial comes alive like a vibrant comic strip: against the backdrop of the Hermès boutique on Faubourg Saint-Honoré, whimsical characters ride futuristic horse-shaped capsules. The artwork is painstakingly hand-painted in layers, featuring rich strokes of pink, blue, green, and yellow.

Adding depth, a second layer of painting decorates the inner side of the domed sapphire crystal. The frame surrounding this fantasy world sparkles with 71 brilliant-cut diamonds, while the winding crown is topped with a delicate pink diamond.

Inside beats the equally exquisite Hermès automatic caliber H1912, measuring just 3.7mm thick and offering a 50-hour power reserve.

The Arceau Hermès Locomotion is more than a watch — it’s a work of art and a collector’s dream for those who cherish a blend of futuristic aesthetics, wit, and high fashion.
