Experience the Celestial Elegance of the Arceau Petite Lune Watch by Hermès

In the world of haute horlogerie, the Hermès name resonates with sophistication as well as artistry. The latest addition to their illustrious timepiece collection, the 2025 rendition of the Arceau Petite Lune, embodies this ethos, marrying geometric elegance with celestial inspiration.

A Masterpiece of Design

Hermès started life in 1837 as a producer of harnesses and saddles in Paris. Henri d’Origny designed Arceau’s signature asymmetrical stirrup-shaped lugs in 1978. The celebrated artistic director of Hermès for almost fifty years, d’Origny’s timeless design has carried on with the core product of Hermès. The Arceau Petite Lune returns in 2025 with its signature moon phase display at 10:30 and a captivating cosmic twist.

Technical Excellence

The 38mm stainless steel case features an outstanding rose-cut diamond in the crown. The new Petite Lune case’s distinguishing feature is the asymmetric diamond setting spanning the bezel from 8 to 2 o’clock. Thinner at either end and wider in the middle, the 99 brilliant-cut diamonds form a crescent shape that obviously resembles an eclipse.

The dial inverts the position of the diamond eclipse. A crescent-shaped recess spanning the centre of the dial from 11 to 4 o’clock displays 15 diamonds that diminish in size as they reach the extremities. The surrounding blue-lacquered gradient scenery effectively produces a light and shadow effect while shining ever so slightly. Hovering at 10:30, the crescent-shaped moon phase aperture reveals a dark blue star-studded night sky accompanying the waxing and waning of the moon. The stylish open-worked leaf-shaped hands reveal the abyss-blue central area, insinuating the darkened area produced by an eclipse.

Of course, the watch is powered by the automatic movement H1837. Designed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture in 2012, this lean 3.7mm automatic has a 42-hour power reserve and beats at a frequency of 4Hz.

The Essence of Hermès

Hermès is not merely a brand; it is also a philosophy that celebrates the artistry of craftsmanship.

In a world where time often feels regimented and controlled, Hermès invites us to explore a different dimension—one that inspires emotions, creates interludes, and transforms the mundane into the extraordinary. The Arceau Petite Lune watch is, of course, a perfect reflection of this ethos, making it an essential addition to any luxury watch collection.

Each object reflects the artisans’ skill and also serves as a companion for its wearer. The Arceau Petite Lune is more than just a watch; indeed, it embodies time as beauty and emotion, thereby encouraging spontaneity and appreciation of each moment.
