There’s a long-standing belief in the watch world that brands known for handbags shouldn’t be trusted to make great timepieces. However, this idea is outdated—Louis Vuitton has proven otherwise by producing some of the finest quality watches. The same goes with Hermes’s Arceau Petite Lune, featuring a diamond-adorned case and a deep blue lacquered dial with an off-center moon phase display.

Design and Details of the Arceau Petite Lune Blue Lacquered

The 38mm stainless steel case has a distinct shape, made of two overlapping half-circles that are thinner at the edges and thicker in the middle, forming the bezel. One side of the bezel, from 8 to 2 o’clock, is set with 99 brilliant-cut diamonds. A rose-cut diamond is also placed on the crown.

The dial echoes this design with a crescent-shaped section, running from 11 to 4 o’clock, that holds 15 diamonds—larger ones at the center and smaller ones at the edges. The blue lacquer dial transitions from a darker shade in the middle to a lighter ring, then back to dark at the edges, creating an eclipse-like effect. A small moon phase display sits at 10:30. The leaf-shaped hands feature cutouts in the center, adding to the design’s character.

Powering the Arceau Petite Lune Blue Lacquered is the H1837 automatic movement, made by Vaucher. It measures just 3.7mm thick—impressive for a moon phase complication. Running at 4Hz, it offers a 42-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a blue alligator strap, ensuring the level of quality expected from the brand.
