However, its watchmaking subsidiary, La Montre Herm��s, has been challenging those assumptions as of late with many of its new watches and proprietary movements, and has now released its first tourbillon watch, called the Arceau Lift.In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I give you the details on this significant new timepiece and show you some photos I took at the watch’s unveiling at the Herm��s boutique in Paris.Herm��s is not a newcomer to watchmaking; one can find Herm��s-branded timepieces dating back as far as the 1930s.

5147g
