Here’s a sophisticated new watch from Hermes that will be hitting the market later this year- the Grand Arceau Moon Phase.  Known for its saddle/leather goods and uber-expensive silk ties and scarves, Hermes has really stepped up its watch game the past few years (check out the Hermès Carré H or the Hermes Clipper Chronograph Titanium for a couple examples), though it still maintains a relatively low profile among watch aficionados.  Available in black or silver dial, the Arceau Grande Lune watch is a complete calendar watch featuring day and month apertures. The dial stamped with a herringbone motif identical to that found on saddle rugs (see close up photo below).

Designed in 1978 by Henri d’Origny, the Arceau watch is named after and inspired by a saddlery element: a hoop-shaped part of the stirrup.
