The Hermès Arceau Pocket Aaaaargh! Minute Repeater is a one-of-a-kind mechanical pocket watch combining acclaimed high complications like a minute repeater and a tourbillon; but what belies this tremendous serious act of watch mastery is actually the real highlight of this special Hermès Arceau – the real delight of the Aaaaargh! Minute Repeater pocket watch is actually its brightly coloured, highly whimsical cover, a work of complex leather mosaic designed by celebrated English artist Alice Shirley.  
Hermès had collaborated with Alice Shirley since 2012 when the Parisian maison put her beautiful illustrations of flora and fauna on its scarves. In 2019, Hermès relied on her talents  once again in rendering a howling wolf for the Arceau Awooooo wristwatch; earlier this year, a pair of Arceau Into the Canadian Wild watches were released to celebrate Canada?s 150th anniversary. Needless to say, the atelier has a penchant for working with whimsical artists like Kongo, casting some much needed levity.
