Thank you for sharing these pictures! Can’t wait to see the cost!!!Just discovered that there will be limited edition watches of the Into the Canadian Wild:
Arceau Into the Canadian Wild
A miniature painting on aventurine adorns the Arceau watch, like an anthem to the luxuriant Nature abounding in Canada.
The round case with its asymmetrical stirrup shaped lugs is the hallmark of the timeless allure exuded by the Arceau watch, designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978. Available in two limited series of 24 each, the Arceau Into the Canadian Wild watch in white gold and diamonds captures the spirit of wild Nature on its dial.

The animal themes interpreted here – a polar bear and a snowy owl – both stem from the Into the Canadian Wild silk scarf designed by British artist Alice Shirley in 2017, on the occasion of Canada’s 150th anniversary. The original drawing depicts the abundance of flora and fauna, natural treasures of Canada’s vast territories bathed in oceans, lakes and rivers. From this hymn to nature, Hermès Horloger has drawn two interpretations: a snowy owl – emblematic of Quebec – flying amid the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) graces the first model; while the other features a polar bear with its cub, standing on top of waves populated by fascinating creatures.
The artisan devotes more than a week per dial to accomplishing this miniature work, tracing the contours of the motif on the glittering aventurine base, before placing it in the kiln to fire it in place. The different volumes of the landscapes and animals are then formed by means of successive layers of paint alternating with successive firings. The major requirement of such a work lies in the miniaturisation of a drawing with multiple volumes, tones and subtle details.
Combining watchmaking and craftsmanship, the Arceau Into the Canadian Wild watch is powered by a mechanical self-winding Hermès movement. It displays hours and minutes on the model adorned with a polar bear, along with a moon phase on the model featuring the snowy owl. An elegant white gold case set with 82 diamonds frames the hand-crafted dial and is complemented by a smooth sapphire blue alligator strap, also made by the Hermès Horloger artisans.

Hermes Arceau Into The Canadian Wild (with the polar bear)
Hermes Arceau Into The Canadian Wild (with the moon phase)
Is it wishful thinking hoping that Hermes will one day make a CSGM of the Into the Wild design? I am Canadian and in love with this design!
Not to crush your hopes as we never know with Hermes but I've noticed that her similar designs, Jardin Anglais, Under the Waves, and Mountain Zebra have not been produced in CSGM due to the amount of detailing. (I'm guessing we likely won't see Wild Singapore in CSGM either.) The first two were however made into 140cm mousselines in the same season that the design was issued though.
Great observations @Meta ! I wonder how they decide which designs to make in another format. A mousseline of Into the Wild would be amazing!! Jardin Anglais mousselines are HG status in my books, still can't believe I missed out on them!
Sadly Hermès hasn't produced mousselines like they used to since they brought it back in Spring this year. Details will be lost in the single color background and finesse type of mousselines that they now make.
Seen on TV just now; talking about mental wellness during Covid.
Thank you for posting the description!! 
Apologies for the random (late) question, but I was wondering if this is colourway 3. It is gorgeous! Many thanksView attachment 4382891 Awooooo 100 from the men’s line in Marine / anthracite / gris. My first AS scarf
Looks like there's another limited edition watch using Alice Shirley's design, Aaaaargh! (credit: Watch I Love)
The Arceau watch, created by Henri d’Origny in 1978, lends its classic yet distinctive round shape – with its asymmetrical stirrup-inspired lugs – to infinite expressions of Hermès creativity, style and expertise. Its timeless white gold silhouette stages an alliance between leather craftsmanship and Haute Horlogerie in a one-of-a-kind pocket watch. Beating to the rhythm of the Manufacture H1924 minute-repeater and tourbillon movement, the Arceau Pocket Aaaaargh! frames a refined white enamel dial, protected by a cover adorned with a tyrannosaurus composed of marquetry and leather mosaic.
After the gruff bear of the Slim of Hermes Grrrrr! and the wolf howling in the moonlight of the Arceau Awooooo, the Arceau Pocket Aaaaaargh! watch is joining the bestiary imagined by English artist Alice Shirley.
On this model, the «king of the tyrant lizards» with half-open jaws and an attentive eye comes to life under the expert guidance of Hermès watchmakers, after a month of meticulous work using exclusive techniques developed in its leather workshops.
The design of the tyrannosaurus, which appears to be peeking through a porthole, stands out against the cover and involves a combination of several demanding skills.
The head and scales are made in leather mosaic: thousands of finely hand-cut multicoloured leather fragments are applied one by one to faithfully reproduce the original pattern.
The domed eye of the dinosaur, visible on both sides of the cover, is made of cabochon-cut Grand Feu enamel. Finally, the jaw and tongue are crafted in leather marquetry: fine tesserae are cut from various coloured leathers, previously thinned to just 0.5 mm, before being juxtaposed on the enamel base.
Setting the final touch to this miniaturised leather artwork, a matt green alligator leather cord-strap is secured to the rectangular stirrup and accentuates the overall design.
