The Hermes Arceau L'Heure de la Lune is the latest timepiece example from the French fashion house that aims to offer consumers with a more naturalistically inspired way to tell time.
The majority of timepieces on the market that have a moon phase on the face often reserve only a small portion of space for this functionality. The example seen here makes the entire face a moon phase indicator with one appearing in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, respectively. The timepiece is finished with an alligator strap in one of two color options including graphics gray for the meteorite dial and the abyss blue option for the aventurine variety.
The Hermes Arceau L'Heure de la Lune is limited to just 100 examples of each model and is priced at $25,500.
