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. 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 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.

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.

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

Gold\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e is dedicated to the Earth’s only permanent natural satellite. Arnold \u0026amp; Son has incorporated its new astronomical moon-phase calibre into an ultra-slim 38 mm red-gold case. This indication appears in the aperture of a shimmering blue mother-of-pearl dial. A sumptuous diamond setting illuminates the hour-markers, crown, lugs and bezel. Glittering by day, scintillating by night, \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Gold\u003c\/em\u003e makes radiance its hallmark. \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe moon-phase complication is the most poetically and charmingly showcased watch function, but that is not all. The moon is large, influential and powerful, both in the sky and at Arnold \u0026amp; Son. It shapes our lives, our oceans, gravity and the appearance of our nights. It is this celestial body that reigns supreme on \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Gold\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son is expanding its moon-phase collection with this creation in red gold (5N). The harmonious blend of complication, design, proportions and gem-setting firmly establish the \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38\u003c\/em\u003e collection as part of a subtle and distinguished world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDazzling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Gold\u003c\/em\u003e is adorned with 138 diamonds for a total of ~2.61 carats, but nonetheless remains firmly rooted in the watchmaking codes of the La Chaux-de-Fonds Manufacture, which is steeped in John Arnold’s marine chronometer heritage. This jewel is therefore also a timepiece powered by a finely crafted manual-winding calibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadiant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEverything follows on from the spirit of this complication. Beneath the delicately blue-tinged mother-of-pearl dial with an openworked upper section, a large sky disc, also in mother-of-pearl, bears a white moon adorned with Super-LumiNova and hand-painted shadows. Nearby, the Ursa Major and Cassiopeia constellations complete the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Gold\u003c\/em\u003e thus presents two faces. The first is the gem-set gold case and its mother-of-pearl dial evoking daytime. The other glows with a cold blue light to represent the night, when the stars painted with luminescent material shine and when the moonlight truly comes into its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoble\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Gold\u003c\/em\u003e transposes the exacting watchmaking standards that have always guided Arnold \u0026amp; Son into an entirely new women’s calibre, the smallest in its collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt 29.4 mm, the A\u0026amp;S1612 movement was designed to fit the new 38 mm diameter case that is just 10.44 mm thick.

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. 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 data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"29ea45c\" class=\"elementor-element

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.

Its bezel, four horns and crown host a total of 80 brilliant-cut diamonds. When added to the 22 diamonds adorning its buckle, they amount to a total weight of 2.57 carats.

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\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\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\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":47007823561029,"sku":null,"price":860000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPerpetualMoon38WGmintnight_soldat.jpg?v=1692742334"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-year-of-the-dragon","title":"Perpetual Moon \"Year Of The Dragon\"","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 Dragon\"\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\u003e41,5 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 41.5 Red Gold \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“Year of the Dragon”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold dragon in moonlight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccording to the traditional Chinese calendar, 2024 is a prosperous and harmonious year.

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\/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","brand":"INDP","offers":[{"title":"Blue Aventurine","offer_id":47424446300485,"sku":"","price":725000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black Aventurine","offer_id":47424446333253,"sku":"","price":725000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPM41.5RGYearoftheDragon-black_soldat.jpg?v=1702681968"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-38-night-tide","title":"Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide","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\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Night Tide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\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 class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eDiamonds making waves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"FR\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eWaxing, gibbous, blue: the power of the moon imposes itself on the Earth and even more so, on the seas. \u003ci\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Night Tide\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the fluctuating pull of this celestial body on the water.

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.

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. 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.\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\/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":49951455576389,"sku":null,"price":460000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_S_PM38Aventurine_soldat.jpg?v=1724364338"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-38-gold-cliff-grey","title":"Perpetual Moon 38 Gold Cliff Grey","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\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4aa9554\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4aa9554 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-terms\"\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 Gold Cliff Grey\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\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 class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eBlue Aventurine \u0026amp; Cliff Grey Editions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eBetween Earth and Heaven\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 Red Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e welcomes two limited-edition dials.

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\/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

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\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

True to the custom of the \u003ci\u003ePerpetual Moon \u003c\/i\u003ecollection, the moon is surrounded by the constellations of Ursa Major and Cassiopeia, both hand-painted and overlaid with luminescent material.

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\/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":54989106020677,"sku":null,"price":475000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPerpetualMoon41.5RGcliffgrey_soldier.jpg?v=1750626213"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-38-white-gold-blue-aventurine","title":"Perpetual Moon 38 White Gold Aventurine","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\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4aa9554\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4aa9554 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-terms\"\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  White Gold Aventurine Edition\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\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 class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 White Gold, Aventurine Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eA beacon in the night\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eArnold \u0026amp; Son’s vision of feminine watchmaking shines in all its splendour, dazzling in daylight and bewitching come nightfall.

This choice is a nod to the history of John Arnold, who pioneered marine timekeeping. These two constellations have guided sailors since time immemorial. Halfway between them is Polaris, the Pole Star. Its fixed position invariably points north and its altitude can be used to calculate latitude. Prior to the invention of instruments that measure longitude, it was the only reliable landmark at sea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe \u003ci\u003ePerpetual Moon 38 White Gold, Aventurine Edition\u003c\/i\u003e thus reveals two faces: by day it displays a polished white gold case paired with a shimmering, deep blue dial; and by night, its more mysterious side emerges as its components, coated in Super-LumiNova, light up in a shade of icy blue.

Measuring 30 mm in diameter, the A\u0026amp;S1612 calibre was specifically designed to fit perfectly inside the 38 mm case, which is only 10.44 mm thick.

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.

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.\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\/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":55737102696773,"sku":null,"price":675000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_S_PM38WGAventurine_soldier.jpg?v=1758830183"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-41-5-steel-black","title":"Perpetual Moon 41,5 Steel Black","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-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\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 class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"_Hlk101787868\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 41.5 Steel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eColours of the Moon”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe colours of the night \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eLike all Arnold \u0026amp;

Rather than copying John Harrison’s famous H4, Arnold decided to innovate and develop his own marine timekeeper.

The Blue Moon evokes both the rare occurrence of an additional full moon within a single season and the cool tones that certain atmospheric particles can impart to it. The Golden Moon recalls the warm glow the Moon takes on when low on the horizon, its light filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere, a sight often associated with harvests and folk traditions. As for the Red Moon, it alludes to lunar eclipses, when the Earth casts its shadow across the Moon, and only the Sun’s red rays pass through the atmosphere, giving rise to the spectacular “Blood Moon”, steeped in myth and symbolism in many cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eTo enhance the moon, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has applied Super-LumiNova beneath the coloured mother-of-pearl representing it.

It provides the dials and moon-phase skies of the Perpetual Moon “Colours of the Moon” editions, in black, blue, or green shades with unique, changing reflections.

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\/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":58356438532421,"sku":null,"price":285000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPM41.5SteelCM_black_soldier.jpg?v=1782256228"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-41-5-steel-blue","title":"Perpetual Moon 41,5 Steel Blue","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\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4aa9554\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4aa9554 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-terms\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\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\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 class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"_Hlk101787868\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 41.5 Steel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eColours of the Moon”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe colours of the night \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eLike all Arnold \u0026amp;

Rather than copying John Harrison’s famous H4, Arnold decided to innovate and develop his own marine timekeeper.

The Blue Moon evokes both the rare occurrence of an additional full moon within a single season and the cool tones that certain atmospheric particles can impart to it. The Golden Moon recalls the warm glow the Moon takes on when low on the horizon, its light filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere, a sight often associated with harvests and folk traditions. As for the Red Moon, it alludes to lunar eclipses, when the Earth casts its shadow across the Moon, and only the Sun’s red rays pass through the atmosphere, giving rise to the spectacular “Blood Moon”, steeped in myth and symbolism in many cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eTo enhance the moon, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has applied Super-LumiNova beneath the coloured mother-of-pearl representing it.

It provides the dials and moon-phase skies of the Perpetual Moon “Colours of the Moon” editions, in black, blue, or green shades with unique, changing reflections.

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\/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":58356458029381,"sku":null,"price":285000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPM41.5SteelCM_blue_soldier.jpg?v=1782256305"},{"product_id":"perpetual-moon-41-5-steel-green","title":"Perpetual Moon 41,5 Steel Green","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\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4aa9554\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4aa9554 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-terms\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\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\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 class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"_Hlk101787868\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ePerpetual Moon 41.5 Steel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eColours of the Moon”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe colours of the night \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eLike all Arnold \u0026amp;

Rather than copying John Harrison’s famous H4, Arnold decided to innovate and develop his own marine timekeeper.

The Blue Moon evokes both the rare occurrence of an additional full moon within a single season and the cool tones that certain atmospheric particles can impart to it. The Golden Moon recalls the warm glow the Moon takes on when low on the horizon, its light filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere, a sight often associated with harvests and folk traditions. As for the Red Moon, it alludes to lunar eclipses, when the Earth casts its shadow across the Moon, and only the Sun’s red rays pass through the atmosphere, giving rise to the spectacular “Blood Moon”, steeped in myth and symbolism in many cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eTo enhance the moon, Arnold \u0026amp; Son has applied Super-LumiNova beneath the coloured mother-of-pearl representing it.

It provides the dials and moon-phase skies of the Perpetual Moon “Colours of the Moon” editions, in black, blue, or green shades with unique, changing reflections.

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\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":58356461666629,"sku":null,"price":285000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0446\/7781\/files\/A_SPM41.5SteelCM_green_soldier.jpg?v=1782256486"}],"url":"https:\/\/indp.se\/sv\/collections\/perpetual-moon.oembed?page=2","provider":"INDP Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
