Herm¨¨s Arceau Chrono Titane Watch Hands-On
At SIHH 2018 Paris-based Hermes released a very compelling new version of the Arceau chronograph with the Hermes Arceau Chrono Titane collection.

But even though I've been brought up in the business and have a historical viewpoint of the industry, I'm still sticker shocked by today's prices.
