Some live pictures of the Hermès Arceau Le Temps Voyageur . . .

It comes in at a very reasonable 38mm case diameter:
When I initially saw photos, I didn’t fully understand or appreciate the lugs. I was seeing wire lugs at 12:00 and standard lugs at 06:00:

Thanks for the review and these extensive photos!
I like it from far, but a bit too chunky and I am not sure about the "map" of horse world (dressage, soins, etc.). Of course it resonates with the origins of Hermes but a nice map of the world would have been nicer. From Hermes, I really really like the S...
