And so was born the
link Arceau watch,
link designed by Henri d'Origny, who later went on to design the Cape Cod in 1991. D'Origny was also the creator of "Mors et Gourmettes," one of Hermes' most famous scarf prints. He designed across
link categories, drawing on the brand's equestrian roots and house design codes – the Arceau features asymmetrical stirrup-shaped lugs, the Cape Cod composed of two Chaine d'Ancre half-links and "mors et gourmettes," which quite literally means "horse bits and curb chains."
