SIHH 2019: Hermès Arceau L'Heure De La Lune Moonphase Watch. Live Pictures & Pricing.

While Hermès has been making watches for a very long time, it wasn’t until the last three to four years that the orange box leather goods maker has turned into a power house in the field of horology with their very own watch manufacture located in Switzerland. Without a doubt, one of the best releases at the SIHH 2019 was the new Hermès Arceau L'Heure De La Lune moonphase watch available in two versions, one with meteorite dial and the other in aventurine. With two mobile subdials —time and date— that circle around the dial of the watch day-by-day eclipsing two moons located at 12 and 6 o’clock —South and North hemispheres respectively—, the indication of the cycles of the moon is cleverly represented in a way in which it was never done before by any other brand.

Experience: Hermès Tricolor Kelly Bag and a Discontinued Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Date-Day-Moonphase in 18K Yellow Gold

TriColor Kelly bag in Jaune, Vert Cru and Blue Thalassa.

The Hermès Kelly bag renamed after actress and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly is a classic just as the now discontinued Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Date-Date-Moonphase triple complication ref. 25594BA.

This gorgeous Royal Oak in 36mm and solid 18K yellow gold is a perfect example of a watch that goes well with everything. One of our watch lifestylers wears this watch on a daily basis due to its versatility and the neutral color of its dial. Because of the smaller size of the case—when compared to today's standards—this watch has the perfect size for any female watch lifestyler wanting to make a wrist statement.

This watch originally fitted with caliber 2224/2825 will help you keep track of the day, date and lunar phases during your hectic monthly schedule.

Now, If you consider buying a Royal Oak like this one to turn it into your daily beater, just make sure that you have the matching Tri Color Kelly bag to go with it.

Experience: Hermès Ties. The Blues.

When it comes to ties we know there's only one name and it's Hermès. Its silk, its designs and patterns, the shape and length of their ties and the way they look when knotted, is just unmistakeable. One can spot an Hermès tie half a block away. Just as one that knows can spot a Royal Oak in the distance.

Established in 1837, Hermès has specialized in silk, saddles, leather, accessories, parfums, ceramic and prêt-à-porter with the highest quality and outstanding craftsmanship. Its logo, since the 1950's has had a carriage pulled by a horse.

Born in Germany, Thierry Hermès was the son of a Frenchman. Thierry and his family relocated to France in 1828 and in 1837, Thierry Hermès established Hermès as a harness workshop dedicated to serving noblemen in Paris. He created some of the finest wrought harnesses and bridles for the carriage trade. Thierry's son, Charles-Émile Hermès took over management in 1880 and established the well known shop at 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where it remains today and where the new leader introduced saddlery and retail sales.

One of the many qualities of an Hermès tie is its timeless design, just like that of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Both have stood the test of time and today a 40 year old Hermès tie looks as good and as classic as a Royal Oak. For more info click here.
