ARCEAU WOW

A square in a circle , small squares in a large square . Hermès loves to play with shapes . From the distant memory of those children ’ s games combining colours and volumes , Hermès has given life to a unique and playful watch . It could have been called Double Face , or Recto / Verso . Wow suits it so much better !
