Hermes watches presented the first timepiece, a unique enamel painted by Email Ombrant (shaded enamel). After a full two years, the brand will be unique in this enamel painting techniques used in the watch, the subtle changes in the use of light presents a vivid dial 3D graphics stereoscopic effect. Giant cats entrenched in the Arceau Tigre dial draw inspiration from Hermès' annual 2016 theme, drawn from the works of renowned artist Robert Dallet in collaboration with Hermès in the 1980s: Gathering Nature. Hermes selected Email Ombrant "gradient enamel painting" skills, combined with the engraving process, the perfect demonstration of the majestic power of cats. Originally created in the Limoges region of France, floral decorating techniques are used to create patterns that only look through the light. The motif is engraved in a ceramic mold negatively, then poured into enamel and fired. In the process of creating mold, talented artisans need to imagine the thickness of ceramic in order to eventually obtain subtle and rich depth effect. Graded enamel painting process in 1841 by Paul Bourgoin registered in Tremblay, France, this technique is based on the same basis. In the process of creating the Arceau Tigure dial, artisans made innovations in traditional techniques: carving motifs in relief before filling in a touch of translucent enamel. The most depressions due to the layers of packing appear thick and dense and darker tones. The most prominent due to the shallow filler almost no coverage and showing a light and clear colors. This is compared with the traditional relief engraving, is a completely different approach. Depression and raised position according to the light absorption and reflection of the state deliberately pinch, which can explain why the "gradient enamel painting" engraving process can only be presented under the enamel. Gradient enamel painting process is engraved master and enamel master the perfect interaction, the depth of achievement of complex levels, for each piece of work to create a person's charm. The two worked together to analyze the initial design, the degree of transparency and the individuality of the piece to determine the zone of aperture, light and shadows. The Arceau Tigre, made in platinum, has a strong dial. Engravers carved chassis according to the transparency of the final picture, and even the tiger hair on the dial was remodeled to maintain the appearance of the original sketches. With the infiltration of light, showing the depth level, so that the surface pattern lifelike. Gradient enamel painting and light play games, release the level of subtle color, open a new creative field.
