Designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978, Arceau draws directly on Hermès’ equestrian heritage. Its round case is distinguished by asymmetrical lugs inspired by a stirrup, while the slanted hour numerals suggest the movement of a galloping horse.

From understated everyday designs to more elaborate interpretations, Arceau remains a particularly expressive example of Hermès’ ability to turn its saddlery heritage into horological design.
