Hermès re-interprets a shawl by artist Tong Ren to create the Arceau Mon Premier Galop, a limited edition 38mm white gold watch with an multi-media artisanal dial made made from enamel, leather marquetry and silk-threads.
Multiple skills are on display within this singular hand-crafted dial. The top of the dial depicts the sun and sky, both crafted in enamel.
Against the blue background is a horse made of silk threads and finely cut leather measuring a thin 0.5mm thick and set one-by-one.
Finally, note the small hand-painted gold mobile applique butterfly and star.
Hermès is making the Arceau Mon Premier Galop as a 24-piece limited in a white gold case sporting a diamond bezel.
Inside Hermès fits its own H1912 automatic movement adorned with the H motif of the brand on its rotor. All this hand-wrought beauty is held to the wrist with a matching blue calfskin strap.
Price: $91,530.
