Since the dawn of time, the sky and universe have been important sources of inspiration for scholars, scientists, poets, lovers… and watchmakers. This fascinating world is known to be as wide as mysterious. Horologists have long since found ways of reproducing the sky nuances (including moon phases, one of the most important complication) on a watch dial, although such displays have always been somewhat inaccurate, either in terms of their visual depictions or their actual precision.
Further to the development of the famous True Moon watch, Arnold & Son pursues its mission of providing a realistic representation of our grand cosmic world. Like its predecessors, this stunning new model is entirely keeping with the Arnold & Son spirit of discovery. Our engineers concentrated on space, a vast territory that Arnold & Son had already begun to chart with the creation of innovative perpetual calendar and equation of time mechanisms, and its precious aerial materials. The True Moon Meteorite is powered by a world-first mechanism capable of keeping precise track of the true waxing and waning faces of the nocturnal heavenly body. To achieve this unprecedented feat, it is calculated on the exact synodal period corresponding to 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. Moreover, the dial is a rare and precious meteorite stone from Arizona. It represents only 14% of all meteorite stones found on Earth. Scarred with recognizable hatching, the meteorite is as hard as steel.
In keeping with its time-honoured philosophy, Arnold & Son once again succeeds through its new True Moon Meteorite in transforming the most complex mechanical and scientific principles into cosmic refinement.
