Hermès - Arceau - 没有保留价 - 女士 - 1990-1999

Introduction

The Hermes Arceau is one of the most iconic timepieces from the legendary Parisian maison. Designed in 1978 by Henri d'Origny, the Arceau draws its inspiration from the world of equestrianism, a heritage deeply rooted in Hermes' identity. The asymmetrical stirrup-shaped lugs and the elegant italic Arabic numerals give this model a distinctive silhouette that has remained timeless for over four decades. This ladies' Arceau combines refined French design with Swiss watchmaking precision.

Historical & Collector Value

The Arceau collection holds a special place in horological history as it represents Hermes' transition from a luxury leather goods house into a serious watchmaker. Vintage examples such as this two-tone ladies' Arceau are increasingly sought after by collectors, as they capture the original design DNA before later modernisations. The cream dial with slanted numerals, the two-tone case combining stainless steel and gold-plated bezel, and the original Hermes leather strap make this an authentic piece of Hermes heritage. Vintage Hermes watches in this configuration have become progressively rarer on the market, offering strong collector appeal.
