Exquisite Intricacy
Hermès Arceau Robe Légère
The Hermès Arceau Robe Légère watch is a limited-edition masterpiece, with only 24 pieces crafted to celebrate the intersection of artistry and precision. Inspired by the Hermès silk scarf of the same name designed by Théo de Gueltzl, its deep navy-blue dial features a rearing horse with a coat made of silver flowers and leaves that looks as if it was embroidered. To make the design look alive, Hermès artisans used the intricate paillonné enameling technique, layering delicate silver foils beneath the enamel to create a shimmering effect that catches the light from various angles, bringing a sense of motion to the design. The Robe Légère is framed by 71 brilliant-cut diamonds set into the bezel of a 38mm white gold Arceau case and its signature asymmetrical stirrup lugs. An abysee bleu Hermès alligator strap is fitted to match the dial, completing the watch’s cohesive and elegant design.
