Chegado(s) ao mercado - Relógios Hermès Arceau Le temps suspendu com novos mostradores


Hermès Arceau Le temps suspendu. Um relógio que continua a surpreender, com a sua complicação inédita, desenvolvida por Jean-Marc Wiederrecht para a marca - mediante o acccionar mecânico, o tempo para no mostrador, podendo ser recuperado a qualquer momento.

Com horas e minutos retrógrados a 360 graus, data retrógrada.

O modelo inicial em ouro rosa, produzido em edição limitada, surge agora com duas escolhas de mostrador - prata ou chocolate. Caixa de 43 mm, em ouro rosa, estanque até 30 metros. Calibre automático (Agenhor 4111), decoração "côtes de Genève".


Da marca:

The mechanics behind the illusion are created by an additional module enabling automatic and spontaneous alternation between suspended time and standard time. Protected by two patents – one for its construction and the other for the play-reducing gear teeth – this gem of horological engineering alone comprises no less than 24 jewels and is equipped with three play-reducing wheels. The running time and suspended time phases are coordinated by two synchronised column wheels, one driving the hours, and the other the minutes coupled with the date. The 360° retrograde hour and minute mechanisms make time disappear without interrupting the relentless running of the movement. Each part is hand-decorated in Switzerland with circular graining, engraving and Côtes de Genève, according to the finest watchmaking traditions. The 43 mm-diameter gold or steel case gives the watch generous scope for expression. The herringbone guilloché dial motif bears the Hermès hallmark, while the contrasting retrograde indications are enhanced by a delicately grained finish. The asymmetrical design created by the winding crown placed at 2 o’clock hints that harmony can stem from paradoxes… Such as that of deliberately eclipsing time before willingly rejoining it.
