The Manufacture Hermès H1912 movement is used in both watches from the Parisian maison, with the Cut clean and lean while the new Arceau model offers a heritage look The Arceau was created in 1978 by artistic director Henri d’Origny, who has worked on it ever since, the latest iteration inspired by the Hermès’ Grand Tralala scarf by artist Virginie Jamin Two of the latest timepieces from Hermès demonstrate the venerable Parisian luxury maison’s versatility as a watchmaker. While one celebrates the power of simplicity with clean lines and a highly legible dial, the other distils Hermès’ history of equestrian inspiration into a dial that’s visually daring and packed with action. The Hermès Cut stands out first and foremost for its distinctive shape: its 36mm, satin-brushed, polished case is slightly off round, with flattened sides, top and bottom.

The line of the case is broken only by a crown at half past one that comes with a lacquered or engraved H, while inside it sits a smartly bevel-cut bezel. The case comes entirely in steel or in a combination of steel and rose gold, while both those versions come with or without a generous dusting of 56 diamonds on the bezel. {"@context":"https://schema.
