Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon Night Tide 38mm watch with mother-of-pearl and diamond waves.
Arnold & Son introduces the $72,500 Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide, a watch that celebrates the mesmerizing influence of the moon on the seas with an elegant and luxurious design. This exquisite timepiece captures the fluctuating pull of the moon through a large moon disc that appears over cascading waves crafted from mother-of-pearl and ruthenium. These waves, adorned with diamonds, reflect the femininity, elegance, and evocative power of Arnold & Son’s watchmaking artistry.
The Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide evokes the image of high tides and rolling seas beneath the serene moonlight. The gradations of blue and grey in the water, topped with sparkling foam, create a scene of powerful beauty. The watch dial features mother-of-pearl marquetry, ruthenium crystal inlays, and an abundance of diamonds, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship dedicated to the women’s collection by this Swiss brand.
The Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon Night Tide 38mm watch is crafted in 18-karat white gold and features rolling waves under the night sky.
Crafted from a block of white gold, the 38 mm diameter and 10.44 mm thick case is adorned with 80 high-clarity diamonds. These, along with the brilliant-cut diamonds on the buckle and marquise-cut stones on the dial, total 2.62 carats. This gem-setting highlights the ornamental richness of the Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide.
The dial depicts a tumultuous sea under a starry sky with hand-painted constellations and a large moon made of ruthenium crystals. This material, signature to Arnold & Son, adds preciousness, light, and texture to the watch.
Just 18 pieces of the Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon Night Tide 38mm watch will be made.
Limited to just 18 pieces, the Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide is powered by the A&S1612 caliber, the smallest movement in Arnold & Son’s collection, designed specifically for this model. The hand-wound movement boasts a 90-hour power reserve, continuing the brand’s tradition of long-lasting calibers.
The standout feature of the A&S1612 caliber is its moon phase complication, with a moon disc nearly as large as the caliber itself. The moon’s phases are displayed in an aperture between 10 and 2 o’clock, accurately reflecting the moon’s appearance. This complication is designed with an extraordinary accuracy of 122 years, meaning it will only deviate by one day after more than a century.
The complex movement inside the Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon Night Tide watch is visible via a sapphire case back.
