In the world of Hermès, the craftsmanship is ingenious, the rhythm is gentle, and the time is slowly passing away. The craftsman combines all kinds of preciousness and requires strict craftsmanship to create unique works. The birth of the Arceau Lift Chevaux en camouflage is no exception. The watch is available in two limited edition series with a total of 24 pieces. It combines the design of flying tourbillon and cloisonné enamel technology developed by Hermès. The dial pattern is inspired by the Hermes silk scarf: Chevaux en camouflage.

 The enamel painting workshop displays hard-working, intensive handicrafts every day

 The artisan first sketched the outlines of the horses on paper and drew sketches as the basis for fine gold threads. The canvas is a gold dial, and craftsmen carefully place gold threads on it, marking the painted surface of enamel. Then, according to the unique style of the watch, he prepared color palettes, which are blue and brown, respectively. The situation is similar to that of oil painters. The artisan uses the tip of the pen to paint with flicking strokes, creating a dance of light and a layer of tones. After repeated firing at a high temperature of 800 degrees Celsius, the subtle depth gradually emerges, which is subtle and beautiful. On the frame of a white or rose gold case, Mercedes’ horses are full of vitality.

 The array of glass, real gold and flames ended at a show demonstrating mechanical beauty. In the H1923 movement developed by Hermès, the flying tourbillon easily rotates inside the frame, and the top of the frame is decorated with a double H logo, evoking the antique elevator design of the main store at 24 Fubao Avenue, Santana, Paris. .

 The Arceau Lift Chevaux en camouflage watch brings together watchmaking and filigree enamel to show the extraordinary craftsmanship of mankind. The watch is paired with a leather strap and delicate saddle stitching, in keeping with Hermès’ origins.

The three-wing bi-axial tourbillon pocket watch has long been regarded as a symbol of male elegance. Jaeger-LeCoultre blending pocket watches with avant-garde sophisticated features is a bold and innovative attempt. The Jaeger-LeCoultre watch factory has once again given brand-new characteristics to its iconic watches, and has easily achieved this breakthrough.

  The Duomètre Sphérotourbillon PocketWatch is a bi-directional, three-axis, tourbillon pocket watch that is directly derived from a pocket watch that was introduced in 1928 and is equipped with super complicated functions. It inherits the elements of the prototype model and fuses the long history of enamel technology with platinum.

This model is the first of its kind. It has never before used the Sphérotourbillon three-dimensional tourbillon for pocket watches. The exquisite design of the pocket watch is clearly visible through the concave opening at 6 o’clock. The dial made by hand ‘echoppe’ is uniquely attractive, and the grain effect is stylish but elegant. Three small white enamel dials perfectly inherit the characteristics of historical models, highlighting the delicate style of the watch. The dial and part of the three-dimensional dual-axis tourbillon are placed in a golden frame connected to the bezel, showing a transparent space, making this delicate timepiece fully light. The transparent sapphire bridge makes the Sphérotourbillon three-dimensional tourbillon suspended in the air. The edges of the shoulders and bezels are enameld, which is a very bold design in terms of its complex processes. First, apply a layer of enamel to these extremely difficult curved surfaces, and then patiently polish to make the lines appear to indicate the time and decorate the bezel. The artisan relies on solid and reliable technology to perfectly combine the metal part and enamel until the surface becomes extremely smooth, so that these elements are balanced and balanced, just like heaven. The scaled bezel is very characteristic, you can know the time at a glance, showing the unique beauty of this timepiece.
