Overview
Originally designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978, the Arceau watch is known for its slanted numerals and asymmetrical lugs that evoke equestrian stirrups. This diamond-set edition elevates the design with glittering textures and luxurious materials, offering a radiant wrist presence that’s both delicate and distinctive.
Design and Craftsmanship
The 30 mm rose gold case is beautifully set with 80 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.312 ct), emphasizing the signature rounded profile of the Arceau. The dial features white lacquer with a glitter finish, enhanced by a thread-like gold setting and an additional 60 diamonds (0.054 ct) that frame the hour markers with shimmering brilliance. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures clarity and protection. The matte Chantilly alligator strap adds a soft neutral tone, secured with a matching rose gold pin buckle for a seamless, refined finish.
