Hermès showcases 5 novelties at SIHH 2019, including a watch with a howling wolf on the dial
Hermès has released five extraordinary timepieces – the Arceau L’heure de la Lune, Arceau Awooooo, Slim d’Hermès Carré de Rêve, Arceau Baobab Cat and Arceau Oursin. They were showcased at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva from January 14 to 17 this year.
Designed by artist Alice Shirley, the Arceau Awooooo is limited to eight pieces. It was inspired by Shirley’s Hermès men’s scarf creations in autumn 2016. The dial features a howling wolf crafted in enamel. The animal’s silvery fur stands out against a star-studded sky with a sliver of the moon. The watch comes in a white-gold case and matched with a graphite-grey matt alligator strap.
The Arceau Oursin comes with a round, white-gold dial set with diamonds and a blue alligator strap.
The 23mm watch also has a crown set with a diamond.
The Slim d’Hermès Carré de Rêve was inspired by the Carré de Rêve scarf, and only six pieces are available.
