Carrying on their legacy, the time has come to pay tribute to retro mechanisms, and recently the brand came up with a new pocket watch.
Pocket watches not always allure younger generations, and indeed they shouldnt. It is because they do not exactly match the race between trendy chronographs, but instead they are luxurious collection elements. Because there are so many precise time displaying gadgets, that holding a pocket watch would be at least redundant if not silly. Yet Hermes shows us once more that lavishness is appreciated in anything. This time, they accumulated it in Arceau Pocket Aaaaargh!
Hermes Arceau Pocket Aaaaargh Has Exceptional Beauty in Design
The watch is unique in its appearance – you do not always see a depiction of a T Rex on a mechanical timepiece. What is more, hardly ever anyone produced something similar. This is a white gold covered watch with some leather appliances. Inside, it holds the minute repeater and the tourbillon.

In the center there is the eye of T Rex – enamel eye that one can see from both sides ( Grand Feu). Caseback is a see through sapphire, which allows you to see the mechanical movement inside.
