We love all the pretty things here at Sandton Magazine – and of course we are happy to share, because we all know that sharing is caring. You can thank us later 😉 Hermes Arceau Cavales Hermes has unveiled a new masterpiece, entitled the Arceau. Designed in 1978 by Henri d’Origny, Arceau diverts the design of a classic watch and signals its difference by its asymmetrical lugs. The 36 mm and 28 mm-diameter models feature an inner bezel ring adorned with an unusual light gem-setting, while 70 or 60 diamonds light up a mother-of-pearl marquetry dial, reproducing the famous “Cavales” equestrian motif. The new 28 mm-diameter model also appears adorned in 56 diamonds, this time on its bezel. As sparkling as they are discreet, the Arceau Cavales showcase the skillful expertise of the in-house watchmaking artisans and express the unique Hermès vision of time. Available at selected retailors. Embrace The…
