His aim in producing marine chronometers was to simplify and reproduce a perfectly reliable means of time measurement. The goal was to retain knowledge of the time at a journey’s starting point. By comparing this to the time in the place of measurement, taken by observing true solar noon, ocean navigators were able to measure their position on the east-west axis, i.e. their longitude.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDouble Tourbillon White and Red Gold\u003c\/em\u003e keeps this duality alive with a local time display positioned on the dial at 12 o’clock and presented in Roman numerals.

Its sapphire crystal is domed to accommodate the contours of its twin tourbillons. They are each attached to a three-dimensional bridge, boast a cantilevered skeleton configuration, and are crafted in white gold. They are also the end of a double gear train.

man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Double Tourbillon Jade Red Gold","offer_id":46988154634565,"sku":"","price":2800000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false},{"title":"Double Tourbillon Jade White Gold","offer_id":46988154667333,"sku":"","price":2800000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/products\/double-tourbillon-jade-p1.png?v=1685008978"},{"product_id":"double-tourbillon-red-gold","title":"Double Tourbillon - Red Gold","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDouble Tourbillon - Red Gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e43.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhite lacquered dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Tourbillon Red Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStone of the sky, stone of the earth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs green as a virgin forest, malachite places \u003cem\u003eDouble Tourbillon Red Gold\u003c\/em\u003e firmly on the earth.

Harnessing the beauty of stone and glass, these two Arnold \u0026amp; Son pieces, each a one-off, reveal the duality of its double tourbillon.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"29ea45c\"

chronometry\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIts historical roots, aesthetic construction and true-beat seconds ascribe the Arnold \u0026amp; Son Constant Force Tourbillon to the tradition of ultra-accurate marine chronometers. Its practicality – in terms of both readability and accuracy – has been clearly proven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen John Arnold developed marine chronometers that would mark the history of navigation in the 1780s, he had to create high-precision systems that had both a long lifespan and an appropriate display scale to ensure the utility of the chronometry they provided. He therefore decided on a constant force mechanism paired with true-beat seconds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eConstant force involves inserting an energy-storage sub-system into the gear train just before the escapement. Supplied at regular intervals, this secondary reservoir produces extremely regular torque as it is released in consistent, small doses. It therefore differs from the barrels’ energy flow, which is delivered over a long period of time and naturally fluctuates. The balance spring thus receives an invariable source of energy, hence the name “Constant Force”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe true-beat seconds is a consequence of this mechanism. As the constant force system is reloaded 60 times per minute, it is possible to display a second that jumps forward from marker to marker by simply attaching a hand to the winding wheel. Despite being a common feature of quartz watches, it remains a rare feat in mechanical timepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn maps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis precise reading proved extremely useful for maritime positioning in the 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. The difference between the local time (measured by the position of the sun) and the reference time (kept by a clock) gave the distance travelled along the east-west axis of the earth. Or in other words, a vessel's longitude. The creation of marine chronometers allowed captains to know their position and, more importantly, to know how far away they were from a deadly reef or shallow waters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGiven the scale of transoceanic navigation, every second counted, as each represented a potential error of hundreds of miles. There was no point in a timepiece being accurate if its information display was not equally as precise. Because a true-beat seconds hand stays immobile for an entire second, its readings were all the more accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn its design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e230 years later, Arnold \u0026amp; Son continues to use this device in a model that incorporates all existing solutions for supreme chronometric results: the Constant Force Tourbillon. Its A\u0026amp;S5119 calibre adopts the same characteristic layout as John Arnold's marine chronometers. It testifies to the mechanism's inner arrangement through technical prowess and symmetry, which go hand-in-hand with performance and precision. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe two series-coupled barrels are located at 11:30 and 1:30. When the force supplied by the first barrel falls below a predefined threshold, the second barrel reinforces it to smooth out the central – and longest – part of the torque. In addition, the A\u0026amp;S5119 calibre features a patented constant force wheel at 7:30, which is supplied with power every second. It can be seen under the true-beat seconds hand (a complication that is naturally also included) and can be identified by the anchor that acts as the winding mechanism's satellite carrier – a symbol that is precious to Arnold \u0026amp; Son in relation to its maritime heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis constant force wheel supplies the regulating organ of the Constant Force Tourbillon, a one-minute tourbillon that beats at a frequency of 3 Hz and is located at 4:30. By rotating and adopting every position in order to establish an average, the system reduces the detrimental effects of gravity on the parts in the regulating organ. As well as lending prestige to the watch, it also constitutes a source of chronometry with high added watchmaking value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn history\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe combination of the three approaches with the barrels and the escapement in the space results in almost zero variation in amplitude over the entire power reserve of 90 hours – an extremely rare achievement. And yet, such consistency is a major determining factor in rate precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMeasurements made using the Constant Force Tourbillon show an average daily rate variation of around 3 seconds. This is an error rate of less than 4 in 100,000. Once again, this Arnold \u0026amp; Son timepiece illustrates the power that the cultural and historical heritage of chronometry continues to wield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745382158661,"sku":"","price":2375000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SCFT_soldat.jpg?v=1692203951"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-year-of-the-rabbit","title":"Perpetual Moon \"Year Of The Rabbit\"","description":"\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003ePerpetual Moon ”Year Of The Rabbit”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Lunar Rabbit\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe year of the Water Rabbit has inspired a new artistic version of the Perpetual Moon.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven.

This arrangement is both the historical heritage of the marine chronometers created by John Arnold in the 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century and a consequence of the mechanical structure of Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s manufacture calibres. A fortunate consequence of this arrangement is that it naturally lends itself to artistic expression. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has produced a series of 25 pieces, based on its \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon\u003c\/em\u003e model, that pair figures from Chinese mythology with the best Swiss expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiniature works of art\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son references the myth of the Dragon and the Phoenix. These fantastic creatures were neighbours who decided to make a pearl together, one using its talons, the other its teeth. The jewel was the extraordinary product of their equally impressive magic powers. Stolen by the mother of the Jade Emperor, it fell down from the heavens and the animals rushed to catch it in mid-air. This pearl of wisdom and fertility is the essence of the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e tale. The two beasts are depicted by two expressive, precious finely worked miniature sculptures curled up on either side of the dial. Complete with scales, feathers, spurs, teeth, beak and mane, they are entirely crafted from solid rose gold and engraved by hand. In the dragon’s claws is the pearl, made from mother-of-pearl. The level of detail is extraordinary, all the more so as these two animals are only around 2 cm long. In the background, Arnold \u0026amp; Son introduces colour and substance: the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducts of geology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the five \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models features a dial made from a different hardstone. Bronzite, Eudialyte, Marcassite, Pietersite and Verdite are coloured minerals with deep surface effects, but are little known and rarely used in watchmaking. Arnold \u0026amp; Son chose these varieties of hardstone for their evocative properties. In Bronzite, pearlescent, red and black inclusions stand out against predominant beige tones. Black and grey Marcassite is scattered with outgrowths like stones emerging from a flat landscape. The deep blue grey of Pietersite is crossed by expansive iridescent clouds. Verdite, meanwhile, reveals a bright, shifting green. Lastly, intense Eudialyte contains gradients of purple opposing mottled white veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProportions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these versions comes with a large-scaled alligator skin strap that matches the dial, paired with 18-carat gold thread topstitching. The strap attaches to a 5N red gold case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 8.60 mm thick. This thinness is all the more remarkable as the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models incorporate a tourbillon calibre. It simultaneously offers accurate timekeeping, a refined skeletonised structure, mechanical nobility and, for good measure, a symmetrical architecture. The symmetry of the pieces even extends to the domed sections: the skeletonised tourbillon bridge slightly protrudes from the dial, level with the off-centred dial, which is also domed. Meanwhile the mythical creatures carved from gold balance out the design horizontally. The precise proportions, the dynamics and the composition are the product of a keen aesthetic and mechanical sense.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical lacework\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the rare stone dials lies the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre. Measuring 2.97 mm thick, it is one of the thinnest to be regulated by a tourbillon. Like all the movements used by Arnold \u0026amp; Son, the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up within the walls of the brand's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This calibre is based on a large barrel with an oscillation frequency of 3 Hz, giving a 90-hour power reserve that is extremely rare for a tourbillon, especially given its thinness. The structure is refined further still by the skeletonised tourbillon bridge and hand engraving on the rear tourbillon bridge.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone.

A fortunate consequence of this arrangement is that it naturally lends itself to artistic expression. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has produced a series of 25 pieces, based on its \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon\u003c\/em\u003e model, that pair figures from Chinese mythology with the best Swiss expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiniature works of art\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son references the myth of the Dragon and the Phoenix. These fantastic creatures were neighbours who decided to make a pearl together, one using its talons, the other its teeth. The jewel was the extraordinary product of their equally impressive magic powers. Stolen by the mother of the Jade Emperor, it fell down from the heavens and the animals rushed to catch it in mid-air. This pearl of wisdom and fertility is the essence of the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e tale. The two beasts are depicted by two expressive, precious finely worked miniature sculptures curled up on either side of the dial. Complete with scales, feathers, spurs, teeth, beak and mane, they are entirely crafted from solid rose gold and engraved by hand. In the dragon’s claws is the pearl, made from mother-of-pearl. The level of detail is extraordinary, all the more so as these two animals are only around 2 cm long. In the background, Arnold \u0026amp; Son introduces colour and substance: the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducts of geology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the five \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models features a dial made from a different hardstone. Bronzite, Eudialyte, Marcassite, Pietersite and Verdite are coloured minerals with deep surface effects, but are little known and rarely used in watchmaking. Arnold \u0026amp; Son chose these varieties of hardstone for their evocative properties. In Bronzite, pearlescent, red and black inclusions stand out against predominant beige tones. Black and grey Marcassite is scattered with outgrowths like stones emerging from a flat landscape. The deep blue grey of Pietersite is crossed by expansive iridescent clouds. Verdite, meanwhile, reveals a bright, shifting green. Lastly, intense Eudialyte contains gradients of purple opposing mottled white veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProportions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these versions comes with a large-scaled alligator skin strap that matches the dial, paired with 18-carat gold thread topstitching. The strap attaches to a 5N red gold case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 8.60 mm thick. This thinness is all the more remarkable as the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models incorporate a tourbillon calibre. It simultaneously offers accurate timekeeping, a refined skeletonised structure, mechanical nobility and, for good measure, a symmetrical architecture. The symmetry of the pieces even extends to the domed sections: the skeletonised tourbillon bridge slightly protrudes from the dial, level with the off-centred dial, which is also domed. Meanwhile the mythical creatures carved from gold balance out the design horizontally. The precise proportions, the dynamics and the composition are the product of a keen aesthetic and mechanical sense.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical lacework\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the rare stone dials lies the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre. Measuring 2.97 mm thick, it is one of the thinnest to be regulated by a tourbillon. Like all the movements used by Arnold \u0026amp; Son, the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up within the walls of the brand's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This calibre is based on a large barrel with an oscillation frequency of 3 Hz, giving a 90-hour power reserve that is extremely rare for a tourbillon, especially given its thinness. The structure is refined further still by the skeletonised tourbillon bridge and hand engraving on the rear tourbillon bridge.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745382945093,"sku":"","price":1300000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SUTTD_Pmarcassite_soldat.jpg?v=1692216451"},{"product_id":"ultrathin-tourbillon-dragon-amp-phoenix-pietersite","title":"Ultrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026 Phoenix \"Pietersite\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix ”Pietersite”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e42 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"c219953\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c219953\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-element_type=\"section\" data-id=\"ba76a4c\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba76a4c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"3226977\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3226977\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son Ultrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stone behind the legend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy merging mineral with myth, Arnold \u0026amp; Son is adding a new dimension to its thinnest tourbillon.

A fortunate consequence of this arrangement is that it naturally lends itself to artistic expression. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has produced a series of 25 pieces, based on its \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon\u003c\/em\u003e model, that pair figures from Chinese mythology with the best Swiss expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiniature works of art\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son references the myth of the Dragon and the Phoenix. These fantastic creatures were neighbours who decided to make a pearl together, one using its talons, the other its teeth. The jewel was the extraordinary product of their equally impressive magic powers. Stolen by the mother of the Jade Emperor, it fell down from the heavens and the animals rushed to catch it in mid-air. This pearl of wisdom and fertility is the essence of the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e tale. The two beasts are depicted by two expressive, precious finely worked miniature sculptures curled up on either side of the dial. Complete with scales, feathers, spurs, teeth, beak and mane, they are entirely crafted from solid rose gold and engraved by hand. In the dragon’s claws is the pearl, made from mother-of-pearl. The level of detail is extraordinary, all the more so as these two animals are only around 2 cm long. In the background, Arnold \u0026amp; Son introduces colour and substance: the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducts of geology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the five \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models features a dial made from a different hardstone. Bronzite, Eudialyte, Marcassite, Pietersite and Verdite are coloured minerals with deep surface effects, but are little known and rarely used in watchmaking. Arnold \u0026amp; Son chose these varieties of hardstone for their evocative properties. In Bronzite, pearlescent, red and black inclusions stand out against predominant beige tones. Black and grey Marcassite is scattered with outgrowths like stones emerging from a flat landscape. The deep blue grey of Pietersite is crossed by expansive iridescent clouds. Verdite, meanwhile, reveals a bright, shifting green. Lastly, intense Eudialyte contains gradients of purple opposing mottled white veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProportions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these versions comes with a large-scaled alligator skin strap that matches the dial, paired with 18-carat gold thread topstitching.

This thinness is all the more remarkable as the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models incorporate a tourbillon calibre. It simultaneously offers accurate timekeeping, a refined skeletonised structure, mechanical nobility and, for good measure, a symmetrical architecture. The symmetry of the pieces even extends to the domed sections: the skeletonised tourbillon bridge slightly protrudes from the dial, level with the off-centred dial, which is also domed. Meanwhile the mythical creatures carved from gold balance out the design horizontally.

Measuring 2.97 mm thick, it is one of the thinnest to be regulated by a tourbillon. Like all the movements used by Arnold \u0026amp; Son, the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up within the walls of the brand's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone.

A fortunate consequence of this arrangement is that it naturally lends itself to artistic expression. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has produced a series of 25 pieces, based on its \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon\u003c\/em\u003e model, that pair figures from Chinese mythology with the best Swiss expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiniature works of art\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son references the myth of the Dragon and the Phoenix. These fantastic creatures were neighbours who decided to make a pearl together, one using its talons, the other its teeth. The jewel was the extraordinary product of their equally impressive magic powers. Stolen by the mother of the Jade Emperor, it fell down from the heavens and the animals rushed to catch it in mid-air. This pearl of wisdom and fertility is the essence of the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e tale. The two beasts are depicted by two expressive, precious finely worked miniature sculptures curled up on either side of the dial. Complete with scales, feathers, spurs, teeth, beak and mane, they are entirely crafted from solid rose gold and engraved by hand. In the dragon’s claws is the pearl, made from mother-of-pearl. The level of detail is extraordinary, all the more so as these two animals are only around 2 cm long. In the background, Arnold \u0026amp; Son introduces colour and substance: the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducts of geology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the five \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models features a dial made from a different hardstone. Bronzite, Eudialyte, Marcassite, Pietersite and Verdite are coloured minerals with deep surface effects, but are little known and rarely used in watchmaking. Arnold \u0026amp; Son chose these varieties of hardstone for their evocative properties. In Bronzite, pearlescent, red and black inclusions stand out against predominant beige tones. Black and grey Marcassite is scattered with outgrowths like stones emerging from a flat landscape. The deep blue grey of Pietersite is crossed by expansive iridescent clouds. Verdite, meanwhile, reveals a bright, shifting green. Lastly, intense Eudialyte contains gradients of purple opposing mottled white veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProportions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these versions comes with a large-scaled alligator skin strap that matches the dial, paired with 18-carat gold thread topstitching. The strap attaches to a 5N red gold case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 8.60 mm thick. This thinness is all the more remarkable as the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models incorporate a tourbillon calibre. It simultaneously offers accurate timekeeping, a refined skeletonised structure, mechanical nobility and, for good measure, a symmetrical architecture. The symmetry of the pieces even extends to the domed sections: the skeletonised tourbillon bridge slightly protrudes from the dial, level with the off-centred dial, which is also domed. Meanwhile the mythical creatures carved from gold balance out the design horizontally. The precise proportions, the dynamics and the composition are the product of a keen aesthetic and mechanical sense.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical lacework\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the rare stone dials lies the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre. Measuring 2.97 mm thick, it is one of the thinnest to be regulated by a tourbillon. Like all the movements used by Arnold \u0026amp; Son, the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up within the walls of the brand's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This calibre is based on a large barrel with an oscillation frequency of 3 Hz, giving a 90-hour power reserve that is extremely rare for a tourbillon, especially given its thinness. The structure is refined further still by the skeletonised tourbillon bridge and hand engraving on the rear tourbillon bridge.

As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745383108933,"sku":"","price":1300000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SUTTD_Pverdite_soldat.jpg?v=1692216462"},{"product_id":"ultrathin-tourbillon-dragon-amp-phoenix-bronzite","title":"Ultrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026 Phoenix \"Bronzite\"","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix \"Bronzite\" 42 mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son Ultrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stone behind the legend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy merging mineral with myth, Arnold \u0026amp; Son is adding a new dimension to its thinnest tourbillon.

A fortunate consequence of this arrangement is that it naturally lends itself to artistic expression. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has produced a series of 25 pieces, based on its \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon\u003c\/em\u003e model, that pair figures from Chinese mythology with the best Swiss expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiniature works of art\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son references the myth of the Dragon and the Phoenix. These fantastic creatures were neighbours who decided to make a pearl together, one using its talons, the other its teeth. The jewel was the extraordinary product of their equally impressive magic powers. Stolen by the mother of the Jade Emperor, it fell down from the heavens and the animals rushed to catch it in mid-air. This pearl of wisdom and fertility is the essence of the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e tale. The two beasts are depicted by two expressive, precious finely worked miniature sculptures curled up on either side of the dial. Complete with scales, feathers, spurs, teeth, beak and mane, they are entirely crafted from solid rose gold and engraved by hand. In the dragon’s claws is the pearl, made from mother-of-pearl. The level of detail is extraordinary, all the more so as these two animals are only around 2 cm long.

Bronzite, Eudialyte, Marcassite, Pietersite and Verdite are coloured minerals with deep surface effects, but are little known and rarely used in watchmaking. Arnold \u0026amp; Son chose these varieties of hardstone for their evocative properties. In Bronzite, pearlescent, red and black inclusions stand out against predominant beige tones. Black and grey Marcassite is scattered with outgrowths like stones emerging from a flat landscape. The deep blue grey of Pietersite is crossed by expansive iridescent clouds. Verdite, meanwhile, reveals a bright, shifting green. Lastly, intense Eudialyte contains gradients of purple opposing mottled white veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProportions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEach of these versions comes with a large-scaled alligator skin strap that matches the dial, paired with 18-carat gold thread topstitching. The strap attaches to a 5N red gold case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 8.60 mm thick. This thinness is all the more remarkable as the \u003cem\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon Dragon \u0026amp; Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e models incorporate a tourbillon calibre. It simultaneously offers accurate timekeeping, a refined skeletonised structure, mechanical nobility and, for good measure, a symmetrical architecture. The symmetry of the pieces even extends to the domed sections: the skeletonised tourbillon bridge slightly protrudes from the dial, level with the off-centred dial, which is also domed. Meanwhile the mythical creatures carved from gold balance out the design horizontally. The precise proportions, the dynamics and the composition are the product of a keen aesthetic and mechanical sense.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical lacework\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBeneath the rare stone dials lies the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre. Measuring 2.97 mm thick, it is one of the thinnest to be regulated by a tourbillon. Like all the movements used by Arnold \u0026amp; Son, the A\u0026amp;S8200 calibre was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up within the walls of the brand's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745383207237,"sku":"","price":1300000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SUTTD_Pbronzite_soldat.jpg?v=1692215768"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-year-of-the-tiger","title":"Perpetual Moon \"Year Of The Tiger\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerpetual Moon ”Year of the tiger”42 mm case\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“Year of the Tiger” Perpetual Moon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolden water tiger\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe year of the Water Tiger is embodied in an expressive version of the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon\u003c\/em\u003e.

to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Perpetual Moon \"Year Of The Tiger\" Black haematite","offer_id":46988616794437,"sku":"","price":725000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false},{"title":"Perpetual Moon \"Year Of The Tiger\" Blue aventurine","offer_id":46988616827205,"sku":"","price":725000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false},{"title":"Perpetual Moon \"Year Of The Tiger\" Green aventurine","offer_id":46988616859973,"sku":"","price":725000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPMCNYTiger_soldat.jpg?v=1692212414"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-38-year-of-the-tiger","title":"Perpetual Moon 38 \"Year Of The Tiger\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerpetual Moon ”Year Of The tiger”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLimited editon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoon-phase indication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c219953\" data-id=\"c219953\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba76a4c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba76a4c\" data-element_type=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3226977\" data-id=\"3226977\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolden water tiger\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe year of the Water Tiger is embodied in an expressive version of the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon\u003c\/em\u003e.

to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb1608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdb1608\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745383469381,"sku":"","price":750000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPM38CNYTiger_soldat.jpg?v=1692213205"},{"product_id":"ultrathin-tourbillon-platinum","title":"Ultrathin Tourbillon 41.5 Platinum","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon 41.5 Platinum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the slimmest tourbillons in the world is shedding its adornments.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

In addition to the technical feat of placing a mechanical star measuring 12mm inside a watch, this piece displays superlative jewel-setting ability, both in the stones and techniques used. With paved and invisibly-set precious stones, Arnold \u0026amp; Son have applied their exceptional know-how to creating eight \u003cem\u003eLuna Magna Ultimate I\u003c\/em\u003e watches.

Hundreds of pure ruthenium crystals make up that sparkling blue façade. This extremely hard metal belongs to the platinum group, which means they are found together in the same ore.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745383829829,"sku":"","price":2200000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SLUNAMAGNAULTIMATEI_soldat.jpg?v=1692139328"},{"product_id":"luna-magna-platinum","title":"Luna Magna Platinum Meteorite","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLuna Magna Platinum Meteorite\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e30 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e44 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"c219953\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c219953\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-element_type=\"section\" data-id=\"ba76a4c\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba76a4c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"3226977\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3226977\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuna Magna Platinum \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(meteorite \u0026amp; opal)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade of stardust\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son coordinates materials and complication on this \u003cem\u003eLuna Magna Platinum\u003c\/em\u003e model.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-[30px] mb-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAESTHETICS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full | sm:w-2\/3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose max-w-none pr-0 | sm:pr-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of Arnold \u0026amp; Son timepieces is instantly recognisable.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e                                          \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745383895365,"sku":"","price":900000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SLunaMagnaPlatinummeteorite_soldat.jpg?v=1692138593"},{"product_id":"luna-magna-gold","title":"Luna Magna Gold","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLuna Magna Gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited editon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e44 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"cdb1608\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb1608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe volume of the moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn a starry sky, a large moon alternates between light and dark as it moves through its phases.

Half of the moon is made of marble to represent the illuminated part of the Earth’s satellite, while the other half is made of aventurine glass to depict the darker side.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745383993669,"sku":"","price":600000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/products\/perpetual-moon-platinum-p.png?v=1685009035"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-41-5-gold","title":"Perpetual Moon 41.5 Gold","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"content\" class=\"site-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ast-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor elementor-25 elementor-location-single post-1695 product type-product status-publish has-post-thumbnail product_cat-perpetual-moon ast-article-single ast-woo-product-no-review desktop-align-center tablet-align-left mobile-align-left ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal-slider ast-product-gallery-with-no-image ast-product-tabs-layout-horizontal first instock shipping-taxable product-type-simple product\" data-elementor-type=\"product\" data-elementor-id=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"more\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6bdfc98 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6bdfc98\" data-element_type=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19cfaa2\" data-id=\"19cfaa2\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4aa9554 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-terms\" data-id=\"4aa9554\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 41.5 gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41.5 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelestial rays\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA white mother-of-pearl star in a midnight-blue sky.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:

of this celestial body. Arnold \u0026amp; Son presents a limited edition of 28 pieces featuring this distinctive complication, adorned with an extraordinary material rarely seen in watchmaking. With a dial made from Mexican obsidian, this timepiece appears to be bathed in bronze moonlight. The stone is reflected in the large rhodium-plated moon and the perfectly polished hour-markers. The result is an interplay of reflections, vibrations and warmth that echoes the light of Earth’s satellite. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eShowcasing one of the largest moons to be found in the watchmaking sphere, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon Obsidian\u003c\/em\u003e stands out for the size of its complication and the aesthetic approach employed by the resolutely British Swiss brand. Housed in a 42 mm red gold case, beneath a rarely seen golden obsidian dial, is its hand-wound calibre A\u0026amp;S1512, offering a precision double moon phase display.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePanoramic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOn the movement side, a hand display allows for extremely fine adjustments.

The moon is only visible because it reflects the light from the sun. In the same way, the light brings the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon Obsidian\u003c\/em\u003e to life with its shimmering reflections.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA golden heart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFrom Mexico, the Manufacture sourced of one of the oldest and most intriguing stones: golden obsidian. This volcanic stone has been mined in Central America since time immemorial and was used in particular in the religious ceremonies of pre-Columbian civilisations. Obsidian has a very high silica content, making it a hard and shiny material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGolden obsidian owes its shimmer to the semi-precious stone’s chemical composition and its specific crystallisation. Its bronze hue extends far beneath the surface, right into the heart of the material. Despite the minute amount used for the dial, it still produces a glistening effect, reflected in turn in the hands and hour-markers.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContrasts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son selected cool shades to contrast with the stone. The moon and hands are rhodium-plated and the hour-markers are made from diamond-polished white gold. Together, these choices enhance the reflections of the golden obsidian and the red gold of the case. To complete this contrasting interplay of warm and cool tones, the brand chose a blue alligator-leather strap with visible silver-coloured topstitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLike all the movements used by Arnold \u0026amp; Son, the calibre A\u0026amp;S1512 was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up in the brand's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This calibre is based on a double barrel with an oscillation frequency of 3 Hz, giving a 90-hour power reserve.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-[30px] mb-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAESTHETICS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full | sm:w-2\/3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose max-w-none pr-0 | sm:pr-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of Arnold \u0026amp; Son timepieces is instantly recognisable. The three-dimensional architecture of their movements, the late-18th-century-style cantilever balance-cocks, the George-V-style bridges, the constant quest for multiaxial symmetry and the artfully crafted guilloché dials go hand-in-hand with openworked components, from a single barrel to the full range of grande complication calibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eEXCLUSIVITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son’s remarkably balanced collections are all produced in limited series and distributed around the world through carefully selected points of sale.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745384124741,"sku":"","price":460000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/products\/perpetual-moon-obsidian-p.png?v=1685009040"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-38-eclipse-i","title":"Perpetual Moon 38 Eclipse I","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"content\" class=\"site-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ast-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor elementor-25 elementor-location-single post-1695 product type-product status-publish has-post-thumbnail product_cat-perpetual-moon ast-article-single ast-woo-product-no-review desktop-align-center tablet-align-left mobile-align-left ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal-slider ast-product-gallery-with-no-image ast-product-tabs-layout-horizontal first instock shipping-taxable product-type-simple product\" data-elementor-type=\"product\" data-elementor-id=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"more\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6bdfc98 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6bdfc98\" data-element_type=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19cfaa2\" data-id=\"19cfaa2\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Eclipse I\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Eclipse I\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA moon in chiaroscuro\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith its 38 mm white-gold case, gem-setting and aesthetics, the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Eclipse I\u003c\/em\u003e ushers in a new chapter for women at Arnold \u0026amp; Son.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default

Arnold \u0026amp; Son has incorporated its new astronomical moon-phase calibre into an ultra-slim 38 mm red-gold case.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745384583493,"sku":"","price":650000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/products\/perpetual-moon-38-gold-p.png?v=1685009056"},{"product_id":"nebula-41-5-steel","title":"Nebula 41.5 Steel Black","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eNebula 41.5 Steel Black\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41.5 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel pin buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNebula 41.5 Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupernova\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt like radiant stars, the \u003cem\u003eNebula\u003c\/em\u003e are bursting with light.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Nebula 41.5 steel Rubber strap","offer_id":46986355278149,"sku":"","price":200000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false},{"title":"Nebula 41.5 steel Alligator strap","offer_id":46986355310917,"sku":"","price":215000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SNebula41.5Steelblack-alligator_soldat.jpg?v=1692141452"},{"product_id":"nebula-38-steel","title":"Nebula 38 Steel Black","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eNebula 38 steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel pin buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c219953\" data-id=\"c219953\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba76a4c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba76a4c\" data-element_type=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3226977\" data-id=\"3226977\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNebula 38 Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupernova\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt like radiant stars, the \u003cem\u003eNebula\u003c\/em\u003e are bursting with light.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745385009477,"sku":"","price":200000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SNebula38Steelblack_soldat.jpg?v=1692141088"},{"product_id":"nebula-38-gold","title":"Nebula 38 Gold","description":"\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eNebula 38 gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"c219953\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c219953\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-element_type=\"section\" data-id=\"ba76a4c\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba76a4c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"3226977\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3226977\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNebula 38 Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupernova\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt like radiant stars, the \u003cem\u003eNebula\u003c\/em\u003e are bursting with light.

\u0026amp; Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions.

The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone.

\u0026amp; Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven.

This arch is the visual signature of the \u003cem\u003eGlobetrotter\u003c\/em\u003e, and houses in its centre a functional ruby holding the axis of universal time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined in blue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith its \u003cem\u003eGlobetrotter Gold\u003c\/em\u003e, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to refine the aesthetics of this major piece in a way which affirms its elegance and modernity. The appliqué indexes on two planes are faceted in red gold and painted in Super-LumiNova. The bottom part of the dial which surrounds the map of the world has a subtle sunlit finish in shades of blue, and the ring showing universal time is in transparent sapphire. Local times are therefore read by the red hands pointing to the gold indexes, while world times are identified by visualising an imaginary longitude from the ruby in the central bridge to the 24-hour sapphire ring. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpenworked, svelte design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe architecture of the \u003cem\u003eGlobetrotter Gold\u003c\/em\u003e crossways bridge is remarkable.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745385369925,"sku":"","price":680000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SGLOBETROTTERGOLD_SOLDAT.jpg?v=1692140587"},{"product_id":"globertrotter-steel-blue","title":"Globertrotter Steel Blue","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eGlobertrotter Steel Blue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobetrotter Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA bridge across the world\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHaving first made its appearance in red gold, the updated design for the Globetrotter now also featuring a steel case that co-ordinates perfectly with the large bridge spanning the world map of the northern hemisphere.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745385435461,"sku":"","price":230000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SGTSTEELBLUE_soldat.jpg?v=1692140458"},{"product_id":"globetrotter-steel-opaline","title":"Globetrotter Steel Opaline","description":"\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eGlobetrotter Steel Opaline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eworld hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobetrotter Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA bridge across the world\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHaving first made its appearance in red gold, the updated design for the Globetrotter now also featuring a steel case that co-ordinates perfectly with the large bridge spanning the world map of the northern hemisphere.

This large transparent hemisphere follows the line of the steel arch bridge that sets the \u003cem\u003eGlobetrotter\u003c\/em\u003e collection apart from all other timepieces. This arch is openworked with a satin finish on all its flat surfaces, chamfered and polished by hand. The slender chords rest on two feet fixed with screws, like a stylised bridge spanning two banks. Here it reaches across half of the world, the most densely inhabited part of the earth: the northern hemisphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVast and detailed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 45mm, the \u003cem\u003eGlobetrotter Steel\u003c\/em\u003e has a large case. The hemisphere was the guiding principle for the design, requiring a certain amount of space. Everything resting above the equator, including America, Eurasia and Africa, is all visible in a wealth of detail. The model is a one-of-a-kind sculpture, the continents first rhodium-plated and polished. In contrast, mountain ranges are rendered matt. The oceans are hand-painted with numerous layers of lacquer in blue pigments, enriched with mother-of-pearl powder which imparts exceptional depth and shine. In a lighter tone enriched with Super-LumiNova, the shorelines stand out at night, further accentuating the textured elements of this miniature showcase of manual craftsmanship.

Like all Arnold \u0026amp; Son movements, it has been fully developed, manufactured, decorated, assembled, adjusted and fitted at its factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The oscillating weight with a Clous de Paris guilloché pattern is skeletonized and NAC coated, bringing its hue closer to that of the movement. The A\u0026amp;S6022 calibre is decorated according to traditional fine watchmaking motifs: pearlized main plate, sunburst Côtes de Genève bridges, satin-finished wheels, and chamfered and polished screws. The specific finish used for this model is its very special NAC treatment. This type of plating uses precious metals which are close to platinum, resulting in a particularly high-quality anthracite finish that perfectly matches the grey case of the \u003cem\u003eGlobetrotter

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745385566533,"sku":"","price":250000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SGTSTEELOPALIN_soldat.jpg?v=1692140508"},{"product_id":"eight-day-blue","title":"Eight-day blue","description":"\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eEight-day blue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estainless steel strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meter water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"28ce530\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"28ce530\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight-Day \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe eighth day dawns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a new steel bracelet, Arnold \u0026amp; Son presents an updated version of one of its essential models.

As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745386385733,"sku":"","price":195000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_S8-dayblue_soldat.jpg?v=1692140315"},{"product_id":"eight-day-black","title":"Eight-Day Black","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eEight-day black\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel  case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"28ce530\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"28ce530\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight-Day \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe eighth day dawns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a new steel bracelet, Arnold \u0026amp; Son presents an updated version of one of its essential models.

Every element of its understated, three-link design bears a high-quality finish. The side links are carefully polished while the centre links are vertical satin-brushed to create a dynamic line.

First, the case, with its fine, domed bezel to reveal as much of the dial as possible. The piece keeps its complex profile; the case sides are polished with a “bassiné” construction, incorporating Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s signature tiers and overhangs. These contribute to the slimmer lines of the watch, already a mere 10.70 mm in thickness. What is more, the contour of the curved lugs presents a polished recess that highlights the raised satin-finished central section. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore than a week\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis case, with its numerous sophisticated details, houses the A\u0026amp;S1016 calibre. Like all the calibres used by Arnold \u0026amp; Son, it was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up in the brand's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This calibre is based on a double series-mounted barrel. When combined with its oscillation frequency of 3 Hz, this allows for an exceptional autonomy of 192 hours – or eight days, hence the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the case-back side of the A\u0026amp;S1016 calibre is skeletonised, revealing the spaces above the barrels, gear train and escapement.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745387041093,"sku":"","price":195000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_S8-dayblack_soldat.jpg?v=1692140229"},{"product_id":"eight-day-silver","title":"Eight-day silver","description":"\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eEight-day silver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meter water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"28ce530\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"28ce530\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"28ce530\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight-Day \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe eighth day dawns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a new steel bracelet, Arnold \u0026amp; Son presents an updated version of one of its essential models.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions.

The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven.

As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745387237701,"sku":"","price":180000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/products\/eight-day-black-leather-p.png?v=1685009103"},{"product_id":"eight-day-blue-leather","title":"Eight-day blue leather","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eEight-day blue leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue calf leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\" data-id=\"28ce530\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight-Day \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe eighth day dawns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a new steel bracelet, Arnold \u0026amp; Son presents an updated version of one of its essential models.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46745387303237,"sku":"","price":180000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/eight-day-blue-leather-p_1200x_82c97ae0-0787-466e-abca-62720a257934.png?v=1695323606"},{"product_id":"eight-day-silver-leather","title":"Eight-day silver leather","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eEight-day silver leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack or brown calf leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\" data-id=\"28ce530\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28ce530\" data-id=\"28ce530\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d0ce20 elementor-absolute elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1d0ce20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"_position\":\"absolute\"}' data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight-Day \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe eighth day dawns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a new steel bracelet, Arnold \u0026amp; Son presents an updated version of one of its essential models.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default

After revisiting the design of the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, this celestial-blue version is joining the collection. As always, in the backdrop, the moon-phase complication is accentuated to striking effect. In a platinum case measuring 41.5 mm in diameter and 11.30 mm thick, \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 41.5 Platinum “celestial blue”\u003c\/em\u003e presents the largest of all moons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelicacy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis edition showcases the latest characteristics of the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon\u003c\/em\u003e collection, substantially redesigned to achieve greater refinement and subtlety. The lugs have been simplified and refined. Instead of their original cross shape, they now present a tauter form of plunging bars with bevelled ends. They form a single piece with the case middle, in terms of both their construction and appearance. After remaining at 42 mm for a long time, the case has been slightly reduced to 41.5 mm without altering the dial opening, giving a slimmer bezel instead. As a result, the eye is drawn in towards the dial, its finishes, its immense moon and its dominant pale-blue shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe dial is adorned with the “Stellar Rays” finish. Its aesthetic is obtained through skilfully irregular engraving. Various depths and widths of rays are successively combined to create a specific rhythm. Their sequence produces a fluctuating play of light, which is accentuated by the depth created by several layers of transparent lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe large white mother-of-pearl moon is realistically rendered with hand-painted shadows and coated with Super-LumiNova. It is placed on a grained sky featuring a midnight-blue PVD treatment. Following the tradition of the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon\u003c\/em\u003e collection, it is surrounded by the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia constellations, which are also hand-painted and coated with luminescent material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe constellations have been chosen as a reference to John Arnold’s history as a maker of naval chronometers. The Big Dipper and Cassiopeia have been used as points of reference since time immemorial. Midway between these easily identifiable constellations is the North Star. Its position inevitably defines the North and its angular altitude, or position in the North-South plane, and allows the distance to the equator, i.e. the latitude, to be estimated. Before instruments for measuring longitude were invented, it was the most reliable way to determine the position of a boat in the middle of the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOn the case back, a secondary indicator allows the moon phase to be adjusted quickly and precisely. The hand-wound calibre that powers it, reference A\u0026amp;S1512, is capable of tracking the development of its segments with exceptional precision. The duration of a complete lunar cycle is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds.

man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

The three-dimensional architecture of their movements, the late-18th-century-style cantilever balance-cocks, the George-V-style bridges, the constant quest for multiaxial symmetry and the artfully crafted guilloché dials go hand-in-hand with openworked components, from a single barrel to the full range of grande complication calibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eEXCLUSIVITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son’s remarkably balanced collections are all produced in limited series and distributed around the world through carefully selected points of sale.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985194012997,"sku":null,"price":600000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPerpetualMoonPTcelestialblue_soldat.jpg?v=1692137747"},{"product_id":"luna-magna-platinum-1","title":"Luna Magna Platinum","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLuna Magna Platinum Meteorite\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e30 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e44 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"c219953\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c219953\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-element_type=\"section\" data-id=\"ba76a4c\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba76a4c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"3226977\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3226977\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuna Magna Platinum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoonlight Chiaroscuro\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgainst the grandeur of an aventurine crystal sky, the \u003cem\u003eLuna Magna Platinum\u003c\/em\u003e is revealed through its select materials.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985218588997,"sku":null,"price":900000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SLunaMagnaPlatinum_soldat.jpg?v=1692139193"},{"product_id":"globetrotter-platinum","title":"Globetrotter Platinum","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eGlobetrotter Platinum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c219953\" data-id=\"c219953\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba76a4c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba76a4c\" data-element_type=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3226977\" data-id=\"3226977\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGlobetrotter Platinum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe world is made of new horizons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Earth is our most precious asset.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985243951429,"sku":null,"price":800000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SGlobetrotterPlatinum_soldat.jpg?v=1692140665"},{"product_id":"nebula-41-5-steel-blue","title":"Nebula 41.5 Steel Blue","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eNebula 41.5 Steel Blue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41.5 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel bracelet or rubber strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel pin buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fda101e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNebula 41.5 Steel \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA new star\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarmonious, radiant and intense, the \u003cem\u003eNebula\u003c\/em\u003e’s skeleton movement reveals a structure in grey and blue tones.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb1608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdb1608\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Nebula 41.5 Steel Blue Rubber","offer_id":46986332406085,"sku":"","price":200000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nebula 41.5 Steel Blue Bracelet","offer_id":46986332438853,"sku":"","price":215000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SNebula41.5Steel_bluebluesoldat.jpg?v=1692140828"},{"product_id":"ultrathin-tourbillon-41-5-gold","title":"Ultrathin Tourbillon 41.5 Gold Silver Opaline","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUltrathin Tourbillon 41.5 Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe finesse of gold and silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the slimmest tourbillons in the world is shedding its adornments.

Son continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together.

to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46987933548869,"sku":null,"price":3000000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SDoubleTourbillonWG-aventurine_soldat.jpg?v=1692204140"},{"product_id":"copy-of-double-tourbillon-white-gold-malachite","title":"Double Tourbillon White Gold Malachite","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDouble Tourbillon White Gold Malachite\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e43.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e18-carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Tourbillon White Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStone of the sky, stone of the earth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs green as a virgin forest, malachite places \u003cem\u003eDouble Tourbillon White Gold\u003c\/em\u003e firmly on the earth.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-[30px] mb-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAESTHETICS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full | sm:w-2\/3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose max-w-none pr-0 | sm:pr-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of Arnold \u0026amp; Son timepieces is instantly recognisable.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46987942986053,"sku":null,"price":3000000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SDoubleTourbillonWG-malachite_soldat.jpg?v=1692204615"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-year-of-the-ox","title":"Perpetual Moon \"Year Of The Ox\"","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003ePerpetual Moon \"Year Of The Ox\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerpetual Moon “Year of the Ox”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA golden year\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe year of the Metal Buffalo has been the inspiration behind a scintillating production of the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon\u003c\/em\u003e.

In a large aperture, a disc turns to show us the age of the heavenly body, the appearance of its crescent and its light.

continuously reinvents its approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-[30px] mb-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAESTHETICS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full | sm:w-2\/3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose max-w-none pr-0 | sm:pr-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of Arnold \u0026amp; Son timepieces is instantly recognisable. The three-dimensional architecture of their movements, the late-18th-century-style cantilever balance-cocks, the George-V-style bridges, the constant quest for multiaxial symmetry and the artfully crafted guilloché dials go hand-in-hand with openworked components, from a single barrel to the full range of grande complication calibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eEXCLUSIVITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son’s remarkably balanced collections are all produced in limited series and distributed around the world through carefully selected points of sale.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full sm:w-2\/3 px-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sm:pr-16\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"watch-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb1608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdb1608\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007748063557,"sku":null,"price":550000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SDSTBGoldblue_soldat.jpg?v=1692741357"},{"product_id":"dstb-42-platinum","title":"DSTB 42 Platinum Salmon","description":"\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eDSTB 42 Platinum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42,5 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda101e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fda101e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDSTB 42 Platinum \u0026amp; DSTB 42 Red Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeating out a new rhythm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son reinterprets one of its most personal collections. \u003cem\u003eDSTB 42\u003c\/em\u003e, which stands for ‘Dial-Side True Beat’, reveals its true-beat seconds mechanism on the dial side.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics.

These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold.

A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full sm:w-2\/3 px-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sm:pr-16\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"watch-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb1608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdb1608\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007778963781,"sku":null,"price":725000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SDSTBPlatinumsalmon_soldat.jpg?v=1692741502"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-38-mintnight","title":"Perpetual Moon 38 Mintnight","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"site-content\" id=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ast-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-elementor-id=\"25\" data-elementor-type=\"product\" class=\"elementor elementor-25 elementor-location-single post-1695 product type-product status-publish has-post-thumbnail product_cat-perpetual-moon ast-article-single ast-woo-product-no-review desktop-align-center tablet-align-left mobile-align-left ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal-slider ast-product-gallery-with-no-image ast-product-tabs-layout-horizontal first instock shipping-taxable product-type-simple product\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-element_type=\"section\" data-id=\"6bdfc98\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6bdfc98 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" id=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"19cfaa2\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19cfaa2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"0ba0856\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba0856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Mintnight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29ea45c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Mintnight Hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Mintnight\u003c\/em\u003e rises in a colourful yet just as poetic version featuring hints of mint green.

to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone.

As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067995504965,"sku":null,"price":825000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SLunaMagnaRGbluemeteorite_soldat.jpg?v=1694471738"},{"product_id":"time-pyramid-red-gold","title":"Time Pyramid Red Gold","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19876c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19876c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-title.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"product_title entry-title elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eTime Pyramid Red Gold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d099ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-woocommerce-product-short-description\" data-id=\"55d099ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"woocommerce-product-short-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited editon of 88 timepieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlligator leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e30 meters water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e42,5 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"cdb1608\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb1608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTime Pyramid 42.5 Red Gold \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u0026amp;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Time Pyramid 42.5 Platinum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVertical time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son continues to reflect on its most iconic and classic collections. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTime Pyramid\u003c\/em\u003e, with its unique appearance and structure, has been elegantly revisited.

approach to pay homage to the work of John Arnold, a man who provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone.

provided solutions to the challenges of his era, notably the accuracy and reliability of timepieces. As a renowned watchmaker, he produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. As an inventor, he filed a number of patents, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance-spiral (1775) and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves (1782). He also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, a number of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAUTHENTICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fine Watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has based its identity on its ability to produce fine watchmaking complications that are linked to the heritage of John Arnold. These include true seconds (or dead-beat seconds) – a function recalling the escapements of pendulum clocks marking out the seconds – and dual time zones driven by twin regulating organs, which hark back to the original method of maritime positioning. The moon-phase displays also illustrate the brand’s mastery of the classics, while revealing a more unconventional side through the use of large moons in sculpted gold. Lastly, the power reserves of up to eight days offered by Arnold \u0026amp; Son pay homage to marine chronometers, which also benefited from an impressive autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twenty or so calibres presented to date by Arnold \u0026amp; Son have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-[30px] mb-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-[30px]\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eAESTHETICS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full | sm:w-2\/3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose max-w-none pr-0 | sm:pr-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of Arnold \u0026amp; Son timepieces is instantly recognisable. The three-dimensional architecture of their movements, the late-18th-century-style cantilever balance-cocks, the George-V-style bridges, the constant quest for multiaxial symmetry and the artfully crafted guilloché dials go hand-in-hand with openworked components, from a single barrel to the full range of grande complication calibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold text-xl\"\u003eEXCLUSIVITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son’s remarkably balanced collections are all produced in limited series and distributed around the world through carefully selected points of sale.

It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEchoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronometry: Be accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRate accuracy, which is known as chronometry, is the key requirement of Arnold \u0026amp; Son's contemporary watchmaking. It is the standard of excellence for its collections, the first condition to be met and constantly checked, whether it is at the forefront or in the background of a watch designed by Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It is the most discreet of a movement's characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building an Arnold \u0026amp; Son collection, all the thinking is focused on this chronometry. The manufacture calibres are based on advanced technical fundamentals that are not necessarily the best known. One of them is the choice of small, lightweight balances capable of rapidly returning to their isochronous rate after the latter has been disturbed by inevitable everyday shocks. Another is the routine use of large barrels or even two series-coupled barrels to store the energy required for the movement to function.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey consequently provide Arnold \u0026amp; Son's manual winding calibres with above-average power reserves of 90 hours and more. A third is the particular attention paid to manufacturing the gear trains, roller-burnishing the pinions and polishing the gear teeth, as well as the precision of the machining and therefore the relative positions of the moving parts, a key concept in rate accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tourbillon (or the fact of putting the regulating organ in rotation on its axis to best adjust the effects of gravity on the balance and its hairspring) was patented after John Arnold's death, but it was undoubtedly at the heart of his chronometric research and discussions with his friend Abraham-Louis Breguet, who incidentally assembled his first tourbillon on a John Arnold pocket watch in homage to this great watchmaker. Nowadays, the tourbillon has become a must in Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tourbillon was not a complication in John Arnold's time, constant force underpinned the design of his marine chronometers. The regularity of the rate of the sprung balance relies on the consistency of the energy that it receives. However, this naturally fluctuates due to the circular and spiral nature of the mainspring contained in the barrel. To achieve a perfectly smooth torque, in other words a constant force, Arnold \u0026amp; Son uses a one-second constant-force mechanism. Housed just before the escapement, it stores up a small but always equal amount of energy in a secondary spring, the remontoire. Thus, every second, the sprung balance receives very precisely the same force to power its oscillations. These become more even, thereby creating the conditions for a high-precision rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son also works with another of John Arnold's historical chronometry indicators: deadbeat seconds, a mechanism that was indispensable to navigators at the time for calculating longitude. This mechanism advances one step each second, rather than six or eight smaller jumps in sync with the frequency of the balance. Instead of the term deadbeat seconds, Arnold \u0026amp; Son prefers a name whose very sound means accuracy: “true beat second”. Its jump is a signature of John Arnold's marine chronometers and a complication that is still alive and well in the House's collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAstronomy: Under the sky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pole Star, Southern Cross, astrolabes and sextant: measuring time has relied on the recurrence of astronomical phenomena in order to find long, reliable points of reference there that can be used under any conditions. The fruit of the human ingenuity, patience and dedication of countless observers and astronomers from every culture, these markers of cyclical time are foundational for Arnold \u0026amp; Son watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomical complications are a signature of Arnold \u0026amp; Son collections, with the moon as the heavenly body of choice, main subject and major inspiration. The distinctive feature of the Brand's moon phase timepieces is that they feature “astronomical” display precision as a matter of course. This term corresponds to an accumulated one-day deviation in the moon phase display every 122 years. Since setting this complication requires great finesse, the Arnold \u0026amp; Son moons generally have a double display with a secondary indicator on the case back next to the movement. This extremely rare display bears witness to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's involvement in all types of development and reflects its favoured themes, which are as much chronometric as astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver and above their precision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son's moon phases attract all the light, either with a large moon opening up over half the dial, or with a 12-mm three-dimensional rotating moon, making it the largest of all moons. Whether in two or three dimensions, the moon is always treated as a small work of artistic craftsmanship, composed of materials that are rare in watchmaking such as marble or Paraíba tourmaline, or delicate such as mother-of-pearl, meteorite or aventurine glass. The Arnold \u0026amp; Son moon also shines at night, often with a subtle addition of luminescent material.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time: Here, elsewhere, everywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ocean navigation, humankind divided up the world and invented longitudes, which were calculated by comparing the local time, observed using the sun, and the time at a starting point, kept by an extremely reliable timepiece. John Arnold was one of the leading suppliers of chronometers to the British Navy. He was the one who successfully improved the reliability and simplified the production of these indispensable marine chronometers, so much so that he became a benchmark among great explorers such as James Cook and later Dr David Livingstone. The indication of several time zones is therefore integral to Arnold \u0026amp; Son's watchmaking identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this navigation was itself inseparable from cartography, for this world time complication Arnold \u0026amp; Son has chosen to depict a three-dimensional terrestrial hemisphere, making it possible to tell what time it is at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel to this graphic vision, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has developed a second approach to the time elsewhere in the world: with a double tourbillon featuring two distinct rotating regulating organs, making it possible to follow time zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes compared to a full hour – a freedom in terms of setting that remains extremely rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, and because this double display is based on a profoundly chronometric complication, Arnold \u0026amp; Son’s fundamental principles are interwoven. One never advances alone; there are always two – if not three – together. This is how a pillar's strength is measured: it relies on the next one, creating the conditions for a solidity that stands the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47303691436357,"sku":null,"price":750000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_STimePyramidPtaventurine_soldat.jpg?v=1700053717"}],"url":"https:\/\/indp.se\/sv\/collections\/arnold-son.oembed?page=6","provider":"INDP Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
