Arnold & Son, the prestigious Swiss watchmaker with deep English roots, is pleased to announce the latest addition to its acclaimed Perpetual Moon 41.5 Collection. The Fern Green Edition is a captivating new creation that combines high-end Swiss craftsmanship with a design inspired by the beauty of nature. Limited to just 28 timepieces, this new Platinum Moonphase Watch is set to become an iconic symbol of both artistry and precision.
The Allure of Fern Green: A Tribute to Cornwall’s Botanical Beauty
The Fern Green Edition of the Perpetual Moon 41.5 draws inspiration from the lush greenery of the ferns found in Cornwall, England—hometown of John Arnold, the legendary watchmaker after whom the brand is named. The distinctive fern green hue, paired with a midnight blue sky and a gleaming platinum case, creates an extraordinary visual experience. This limited-edition watch pays homage to Arnold’s heritage while pushing the boundaries of design and technical sophistication.
Sculptural Elegance: Stellar Rays Dial
The watch’s “Stellar Rays” finish on the dial adds an extraordinary sense of movement and shimmer, thanks to irregular engravings that catch and reflect light in a mesmerizing rhythm. The dial’s surface features varying depths, contributing to a sophisticated play of light, while transparent lacquer layers accentuate the dial’s depth. This innovative technique makes the Perpetual Moon 41.5 Fern Green a true work of art.
At the center of this dial, a white mother-of-pearl moonphase display creates a striking contrast with the midnight blue sky. The moon is overlaid with Super-LumiNova, ensuring it glows brilliantly at night, offering a unique visual transformation after dark. The moon’s gentle luminance is a nod to the brand’s commitment to precision and beauty.
Celestial Inspiration: Ursa Major and Cassiopeia Constellations
True to the Perpetual Moon collection’s celestial theme, the Ursa Major and Cassiopeia constellations appear on the dial, hand-painted and luminescent. These two iconic constellations hold historical significance in the world of maritime chronometry, acting as navigational guides for sailors. Polaris, the North Star, is positioned between the two, aiding in the calculation of latitude before the advent of modern instruments. This reference to the stars underscores the brand’s ties to the world of exploration, discovery, and timekeeping precision.
Exceptional Accuracy: A&S1512 Caliber and Moonphase Functionality
At the heart of this watch beats the A&S1512 caliber, a manually-wound movement developed and produced entirely by Arnold & Son’s Swiss manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Known for its exceptional accuracy, the A&S1512 offers lunar phase accuracy so precise that it would take 122 years for it to accumulate a 24-hour discrepancy. This movement also boasts an impressive 90-hour power reserve, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. The caseback features a secondary moonphase display for fast and accurate adjustment, reflecting Arnold & Son’s commitment to precision engineering.
Swiss Mastery Meets English Heritage
Arnold & Son’s philosophy is rooted in the principles of astronomy, chronometry, and world time, reflecting the legacy of John Arnold. Arnold, a visionary watchmaker in the 18th century, was renowned for his breakthroughs in marine chronometers—instruments that allowed sailors to determine their longitude at sea. Today, the house continues to embody his ideals, creating timepieces that merge technical brilliance with artistry.
Each of the Perpetual Moon timepieces, including this stunning Fern Green Edition, is a testament to the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship. With each component designed, produced, and assembled in-house, Arnold & Son continues to create innovative, world-class timepieces that honor the rich legacy of their founder.
