HERMES Arceau Lipstick

La Montre Hermès sees life in the pink

Each year, Hermès offers new seasonal shades, colours that set the tone. In 2013, watch straps from the Maison are adopting lipstick pink – a tangy shade framing a case designed in 1978 by Henri d’Origny and featuring a curve inspired by the equestrian world. While time passes, the object and the style live on.

Hermès introduces two steel models with a matt white dial: a 28 mm case and another 32 mm version, housing a self-winding movement driving a central seconds hand and a date display at 3 o’clock. These models are fitted with a smooth Lipstick pink calfskin strap graced with a tone-on-tone interpretation of the emblematic Hermès saddle stitching. While Hermès has been tailoring its history for 176 years, La Montre Hermès has housed a workshop dedicated to crafting leather straps since October 2006. For this distinctive signature reflecting its expertise, the brand meticulously selects its leather hides in a spirit of passion and perfection, revealing a wide and perpetually reinvented range of varieties and colours.
