A craftsperson works on the dial of the Hermès Arceau Mon Premier Galop watch, which will be presented at Watches and Wonders 2024 in AprilIs that a tiny toy horse of whirling silks, leather and diamonds galloping towards your wrist? The Hermès Arceau Mon Premier Galop watch dial is alive with the chubby-toy like form of a tiny horse champing at the bit to break free into its first gallop.
Apart from the Hermès Arceau Mon Premier Galop watch’s obvious qualities – the modernist colour scheme in contrasting layered enamel, silk-thread wicker whirls and ultra thin-leather mosaic – there’s something funny and childlike about the horse’s impatience to hoof it. The watch is among the collection of new Hermès timepieces due to be launched at Watches and Wonders 2024 , which, nearly 50 years later, has evolved into a proud horological benchmark for the house, and a canvas for miniscule versions of its scarf designs.
The Hermès Arceau Mon Premier Galop watch is offered in white gold and diamonds with leather marquetry and silk-thread dial, blue enamel base and hand-painted gold appliqués. It is powered by the Hermès H1912 automatic movement, with sapphire caseback and Swift zephyr-blue calfskin strap. Price on application.
