Arnold & Son introduces 2 timepieces: the Luna Magna and the Perpetual Moon.

 Arnold & Son have recently introduced two new timepieces: the Luna Magna and the Perpetual Moon. These models are dedicated to the Year of the Dragon, aligning with the Chinese New Year traditions where the moon plays a crucial role. The brand's decision to honor the Chinese New Year, which falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice, is a nod to the cultural significance of the lunar cycle in determining the commencement of the new year.

Aesthetics

The Perpetual Moon and Luna Magna showcase exceptional craftsmanship and artistic design, celebrating the Year of the Dragon. Both models feature hand-sculpted dragons, symbolising imperial power and good fortune, and are available with black or blue alligator straps.
  • On one hand, the Perpetual Moon displays a 41.5mm polished red gold case with a large 29mm moon phase display. It is available with black or blue aventurine dials, each limited to eight pieces. The dial depicts a rose gold dragon in a nocturnal garden, with the aventurine glass evoking the night sky. Moreover, the moon is crafted from mother-of-pearl, with hand-painted constellations that glow in the dark.

    • The Luna Magna below boasts a 44mm polished red gold case with a 12mm three-dimensional moon. It features an opal disc for time indication and a hand-sculpted red gold dragon on the dial.

    This one is available in polished red gold with pietersite or black onyx moon, each limited to eight pieces.

      Movement

      Both models demonstrate commitment to precision and mechanical innovation in different forms:

      • For the Perpetual Moon model, they have equipped it with a manual-winding A&S1512 calibre with a 90-hour power reserve. This movement features a precise moon phase complication, deviating only one day every 122 years.

      • For the Luna Magna, the movement is a hand-wound A&S1021 calibre, also with a 90-hour power reserve. It is astronomically precise too, requiring adjustment only once every 122 years.

      Availability & Pricing

      The Perpetual Moon is priced at CHF 57,000 and the Luna Magna at CHF 79,600.
