HERMÈS ARCEAU L’HEURE DE LA LUNE First unveiled in 2019, this complicated Hermès watch has enjoyed several dial evolutions ranging from meteorite to aventurine and this stunning lapis lazuli. This naturally occurring blue stone sometimes boasts striations or flecks of golden for intriguing appeal. The watch features a specially made module created by watchmaker Jean- François Mojon that enables the two moonphase disks on the watch to stay in position (contrary to most moonphase disks) while the main dial (including its off-center date and time subsidiary dials) rotates — forming the correct phases of the moon as the subsidiary dials pass over the moon disks. $33,200, hermes.com
