Hermès has released the Arceau Hermès Locomotion, a limited-edition timepiece inspired by Ugo Bienvenu’s futuristic and pop-art vision of the Faubourg Saint-Honoré boutique. Originally conceived for the Hermès Locomotion scarf, the artwork now comes alive on the dial of the iconic Arceau watch, designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978.
Crafted through layered miniature painting, the dial creates a striking 3D effect—enhanced by vivid hues of pink, yellow, blue, and green—both beneath and on the inner side of the sapphire crystal. At its centre, silver-toned leaf hands subtly mark the time.
Housed in a 38 mm white gold case set with 71 diamonds and crowned with a rose-cut diamond, this poetic watch is powered by the self-winding Manufacture Hermès H1912 movement. A pale mauve alligator strap completes the 12-piece numbered edition.
A celebration of colour, craftsmanship, and imagination.
