TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
The watch is in overall near-mint condition. There are some very light signs of wear on the case and case back, which still retains its protective sticker over the display crystal. A couple of small marks are visible on the bezel. The dials and hands are like new. The watch is fitted with an Hermès alligator strap and a matching 18ct rose gold deployant clasp. It comes complete with winding boxes, papers, and accessories.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
An aesthetically unique watch that builds on Hermes' guile as a powerhouse of design, the Arceau L'Heure de la Lune is a stunning watch that is far beyond the reach of the majority of watchmakers who typically don't experiment with design like Hermes can and do.
