PAINTS OF TIME. Hermès celebrates the artistic expression of time in a poetic timepiece: Arceau Lift Chevaux en Camouflage. The creation began with an artisan drawing horses on a piece of paper, as a base for tiny gold wires to shape the horse outline.
The wires were then put onto a gold dial as the canvas, before the artist started coloring with a spectrum of either blue or brown. Then, successive firing processes at around 800 degrees Celsius later brought the colors to life. To complete the piece, Hermès carefully installed mechanical movement Hermès H1923, a flying tourbillon with a carriage bearing an accent double H symbol. The Arceau Lift Chevaux en Camouflage comes in either a blue- or brown-toned dial, and has a 90-hour power reserve.
