Arceau Alezan Chronograph

Caracteristics

Description

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 expressing a wealth of expertise, Arceau makes its way through time with the understated boldness of a great classic.

Arceau Alezan Chronograph

The new Arceau Alezan Chronograph pays a vivid tribute to Hermès’ first companion, the horse, by combining aesthetic elegance, impeccable precision and refined harmony within a superbly coloured model. Against the cream backdrop of its 43 mm dial, the numerals and hour-markers display their highly symbolic new “alezan” (chestnut) colour and admirably highlighting this year’s theme “L’échappée belle”. The large central seconds hand with its brand-signature orange shade sweeps smoothly around the dial, revealing the presence of the mechanical movement beating at the heart of this chronograph model. The harmoniously integrated simple date window and raised counters enhance the aesthetic appeal and the readability of their functions. Echoing the refined touches on the dial, a generous Barenia leather strap also featuring the unprecedented chestnut hue accentuates the contemporary personality and the boldly assertive nature of this latest addition to the Arceau range.
