Summary of Hermès' new releases for 2022

Arceau Le Temps Voyageur

　Hermès has added the Arceau Le Temps Voyageur, a watch with a world time function, to its Arceau collection. The Arceau is characterized by its case shape, with asymmetrical lugs at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. By pressing a button on the side of the case, the hour and minute dial slides across a disc depicting a world map, displaying the time of the location indicated on the bezel. It also features a home time display at 12 o'clock. This display is made possible by a combination of the Hermès Manufacture automatic movement Cal. H1837 and the proprietary Le Temps Voyageur module.

　The case shape is based on the Arceau, designed by Henri d'Origny in 1978, and features asymmetrical styling with different lugs at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. The black platinum model is 41mm in diameter and features a platinum case with a matte black DLC-finished titanium bezel and a black alligator strap. The blue stainless steel model is 38mm in diameter and comes with a blue alligator strap.

Arceau Les Folies du Ciel

　Hermès has added the Arceau Les Folies du Ciel to the Arceau, designed by Henri Deligny in 1978, paying homage to the challenge of the skies. The new model features a 38mm white gold case, inheriting the Arceau's characteristic asymmetrical silhouette with different lugs at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. The dial is made of white mother-of-pearl and features a three-dimensional depiction of an aerostat, a type of balloon believed to have been the first to fly. This motif resonates with the worldview of Hermès, which has long provided horse tack to enable people to travel long distances. The movement is the automatic Cal. H1837.

Kelly

　Hermès has added five models to its watch collection, which is based on the padlock (cadena) of the iconic Kelly handbag. The distinctive feature of the Kelly watch collection is that it combines a bracelet modeled after the bag's buckle with a watch housed in a padlock. This configuration allows the watch to be worn as a long bracelet by removing the padlock and inserting it into the clochette.

　The newly added pink gold case model has a mother-of-pearl dial and comes in two models: one with diamonds around the periphery and one with diamonds on the case and bracelet front.The stainless steel case models come in three models: one with a sparkling white lacquered dial, one with diamonds on the case, and one with a white mother-of-pearl dial and diamonds on the case.
