LUNA MAGNA RED GOLD BLUE METEORITE

Presented in a limited edition of only 38 pieces, the Arnold and Son Luna Magna Red Gold Meteorite watch features one of the industry’s most majestic examples of a moonphase displayed within a truly beautiful setting. A magnificent new addition to the portfolio of this distinguished watchmaking company, the watch carries a resplendent 18ct red gold casing, paired with a dial that blends exquisite white opal with meteorite which is finished with midnight blue PVD.

Incredibly complex, the in-house mechanical manual winding movement of the timepiece boasts a mechanism so precise that if allowed to run continuously, its moon phase would require an adjustment just once in 122 years.

On a dial of deep blue toned PVD-treated meteorite, the visual highlight of the Arnold and Son Luna Magna Red Gold Meteorite watch is its three-dimensional moonphase which is 12mm in diameter and which has been crafted from opal for its near side, and deep blue meteorite for its dark side. Accompanying this spectacular miniature art-form, the hours and minutes are displayed on a decentralised inner dial of white opal, rimmed with red gold, whose milky white surface features roman numerals and arrow-tipped openworked blued hands. Adding a sense of drama, Super-LumiNova applied to the moonphase and to the hours and minutes dial glows with an ethereal blue-green tone after dark.

The watch is housed within a case of polished 18ct red gold, sized at 44mm diameter with a height of 15.90mm, fitted with a box-type sapphire crystal which rises above the housing in order to accommodate the pronounced spherical centrepiece which dominates the dial-side display.

Beating within, the A&S1021 Manufacture manual winding calibre derives an impressive ninety hours of power reserve, beating at 21’600 vib/h (3Hz). Configured around the rotating sphere, the duality of the two-tone moon, the beautifully decorated radiating bands of Côtes de Genève, and the highly polished anglage that define the edges can be fully appreciated through the sapphire crystal caseback. At its centre, the movement has a secondary moon phase display which indicates precisely the age of the moon, and it also provides a reference with which to calibrate the Luna Magna’s moon phase, easily accessed via the crown.

A timepiece of breathtakingly beautiful aesthetics, the Luna Magna Red Gold Meteorite watch is presented upon an ink blue alligator leather strap lined with electric blue alligator leather lining, secured to the wrist with an 18ct red gold and titanium clasp. The model is strictly limited to an exclusive release of only 38 pieces.
