Arnold & Son- True Moon

Coming from the house of Arnold & Son is this new True Moon timepiece. It’s ideal for people who love gazing at the moon at nights. It is a substantial 46mm across the dial, and features the watchmaker’s A-1788 caliber with an added complication that displays the phases of the moon. The dial is protected with a sapphire crystal and the watch is water resistant up to 30 meters. You can opt from the two versions of Arnold & Son’s True Moon watch in either stainless steel or in rose gold.

This stunning new True Moon Timekeeper is powered by a world-first mechanism capable of keeping precise track of the true waxing and waning faces of the Moon. To achieve this unprecedented feat, it is calculated on the Moon’s exact synodic month of 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes.

Moonphase display (set through a pusher integrated in the case at 10 o’clock):
Evolves according to the true synodic period of the Moon (time between successive recurrences of the same phase period). This period of 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes, also called a synodic month, is depicted by 18 revolving discs.
Reveals the true waning and waxing faces of the moon as visible in the sky seen from the Northern Hemisphere. Date and centre sweep second hand.

Arnold & Son- Grand Tourbillion Perpetual

When Arnold & Son decided to launch a new tourbillon model, connoisseurs and admirers can be sure this sophisticated complication will appear in good company. The Grand Tourbillon Perpetual is a striking embodiment of the wealth of horological expertise cultivated by a brand that remains true to the pioneering spirit of one of the great British Masters.

Originally designed over two centuries ago to compensate for the detrimental effects of gravity on watch movements, the tourbillon remains one of the most challenging horological accomplishments. Beautifully highlighted in this model through a generous opening in the lower part of the dial, the tourbillon carriage with its three-arm propeller-shaped hand is complemented by an impressive array of additional functions. Above it, on either side of the grid-patterned dial section underscoring the highly technical nature of this watch , the day of the week and month are displayed in neat apertures; while a dedicated arrow-type pointer sweeps over the elegant retrograde date display appearing on the top of the dial. The same hand-wound movement also drives moon-phase and leap-year indications visible through the open back. All the perpetual calendar displays can be independently set by means of two pushpieces at 2 and 10 o'clock and two recessed correctors at 4 and 8 o'clock, or else adjusted simultaneously by the corrector at 9 o'clock.

Further reinforcing this exceptional model's ties with the rhythms of the universe, the dial also features a perpetual equation of time window, protected by a sapphire crystal and permanently displaying the difference between the time in space (sidereal time) and the time on earth (civil time). And for those who prefer to keep track of the stars in a more symbolic way, a zodiac calendar may appear in the same position.

Representing a spectacular horological vision and a fascinating transposition of celestial reality with its immutable cycles, this distinguished model clearly destined for collectors is issued in three strictly limited series of 10 in white gold and 10 in red gold.
