ARCEAU Chorus Stellarum
Arceau Chorus Stellarum兩款獨家的詮釋揭開一個既充滿幻想色彩，又富有未來感的裝飾世界。其靈感源自野村大輔（Daiske Nomura）設計的Chorus Stellarum絲巾圖案。畫面中的角色——騎着高貴戰馬的英勇骷髏騎士，以手工鐫刻和彩繪的活動金質貼花呈現。這個哥德風浮華角色由連結的發條機構驅動，透過9點鐘按鈕「一按即動」的操作，它就會流暢地搖擺躍動起來。周圍環繞着使用填漆工藝創作，勾勒金色線條的星座圖，就像一幅宇宙天體畫作。此象徵嶄新黃道十二宮的圖像巧妙地借鑒了Émile Hermès的收藏，將馬術天際以繽紛漆繪展現在目眩神馳的畫布上，並透過鍍銠的立體星辰增強效果。每款限量發行六枚。
Arceau Duc Attelé
高級製錶與馬術世界的象徵標誌在這款Arceau超複雜功能腕錶中相遇並融為一體：具備三軸陀飛輪和三問報時裝置的獨一無二結構。這枚Arceau Duc Attelé三軸陀飛 輪三問腕錶有着43毫米大小、低調而與眾不同的拋光鈦金屬或玫瑰金錶殼，突顯愛馬仕風格與專業製錶技術兩者之間的結盟。中置三軸陀飛輪、「音叉」形音簧及三問報時機構，在融合高級製錶及馬術美學的愛馬仕宇宙中和諧共鳴。鈦金屬款式的錶盤上裝飾動感機刻圖紋，讓人聯想起聲波的傳遞，呼應三問報時功能。
Hermès Cut
受簡約造形的靈感啟發，全新Hermès Cut系列腕錶將俐落的輪廓與簡潔、柔和的線條大膽地融為一體。在流暢的創意筆觸中，它將自由奔放的似圓形與完美的幾何正圓形結合在一起，形成了純粹又啟發人心的設計。透過Philippe Delhotal的創作，Hermès Cut腕錶將物質轉化為永恆的物件，同時表達腕錶蘊含女性柔美的活潑靈動，又包羅各種特質的全方位精神。部分緞面拉絲、部分拋光的錶殼比例均衡，邊緣斜切面散發光澤，無不突顯其個性。腕錶搭載愛馬仕自製H1912機芯。透過藍寶石水晶底蓋可鑑賞這枚自動上鍊機械機芯。
