Hermés International is a brand that has managed to capture the attention of both the fashion industry, and that of the watch manufacturing with its exquisite accessories and its latest timepiece-releases. Apparently, Hermés’ approach towards wristwatches is quite successful, as the brand can offer both technical performance and fashionable design. The idea of manufacturing watches came from the vision of this brand to produce something really necessary but that would display amazing features of design, meant to make of a timekeeping instrument a glamorous wrist accessory in itself. The new Hermés Arceau Squelette Sellier Watch comes accompanied by an extremely stylish strap made from alligator leather. The strap is fitted with a buckle made from the same material as the case of the watch, platinum, adding a touch of distinction to the strap. Hermés left nothing out when designing this amazing timepiece and so, the technical part was as equally important as its appealing design. The movement activating the functions of this watch is a mechanical self-winding movement defined as the Hermes Calibre H 1928, which can offer 55 hours of power reserve, along with 50 meters of water resistance. Amongst the watches presented during the Baselworld 2010 event, Hermés Arceau Squelette Sellier Watch was definitely a piece that made quite an impression, being rated by the watch connoisseurs as one of the most practical timepieces. The contemporary design of this timepiece is what attracts the masses most, because people nowadays need both functionality, as well as design, as we are living in a world where image and appearances are everything. A culture that appreciates beauty and art is definitely in need of exquisite design when it comes to watches, and this is exactly what Hermes wanted to explore in terms of creative design. The dial is extremely easy to read, being crafted from white gold and creating an artistic engraving due to its inside skeletonized movement. As already mentioned, perfectly legible, the dial of the new Hermés Arceau Squelette Sellier Watch presents the hour markers as Arabic numerals, placed in a circle of a dark brown color on the margin of the dial. The only functions provided by this watch are the standard ones, of hour and minute,%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%87%E3%83%9E%E3%83%94%E3%82%B2, which are indicated through the blue hands starting from the center of the dial. The new Hermés Arceau Squelette Sellier Watch features a case measuring 41 mm in diameter, the optimum size for a case that’s neither too masculine, nor too feminine. The case is crafted entirely from platinum, which proves once again that Hermés is a brand oriented to quality, to creating tasteful timepieces that declare war to kitsch and conformity. The round case construction hints to a bit of a classy nature intended by the designers from Hermés, who wanted to manufacture a timepiece classy and at the same time, contemporary.
