SpotlightMoonlit Magic On A Wave Of Diamonds—The Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide

Have you ever wondered why the sea rises and falls each day? The answer lies in the sky with our closest neighbour, the Moon. Every day, as the Earth spins and the Moon moves, this dance creates two high tides and two low tides in most places. It’s a fascinating natural rhythm, almost like the heartbeat of our planet. Now, imagine capturing this timeless dance in a watch. The Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide does just that! This exquisite timepiece beautifully celebrates the Moon’s influence on the sea, combining intricate mechanics with sparkling minerals. Arnold & Son have infused the Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide with power, sparkle, and permanence.

A Celestial Masterpiece: Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide

This dazzling display is sure to attract anyone who loves the prismatic allure of diamonds. Arnold & Son have masterfully combined ornamental richness with the complex mechanisms of this watch.

The beautifully conceptualized blue dial features a large moon disc cascading over waves made from mother-of-pearl and ruthenium

The beautifully conceptualised blue dial represents the Moon’s pull on the sea. It features a large moon disc cascading over waves made from mother-of-pearl and ruthenium. These waves, adorned with diamonds, reflect femininity, elegance, and the passion of Swiss watchmaking artistry. The dial captures the magnificent image of high tides and rolling seas under the serene moonlight, with shades of blue and grey topped with sparkling foam. The dial also showcases mother-of-pearl marquetry, ruthenium crystal inlays, and an abundance of diamonds.

High on the dial sits a diamond-encrusted moon among a starry sky, punctuated by luminescent hand-painted constellations. The signature Arnold & Son material—ruthenium crystal—lights up the night sky, adding to the watch’s beauty and elegance.

The Brains Behind The Beauty: Arnold & Son’s Smallest Calibre

Limited to just 18 pieces, the Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide is powered by the A&S1612 calibre hand-wound movement. Measuring just 29.4mm, it is the smallest movement in Arnold & Son’s collection, crafted specifically for this model. This hand-wound movement upholds the house’s tradition of long power reserves, lasting up to 90 hours. Additionally, it boasts extraordinary accuracy, deviating by only one day every 122 years.

The star feature of this movement is its moon phase complication. True to the brand’s astronomical roots, the moon-disc on the dial is almost as large as the calibre itself. The successive shapes of its crescent fill the large aperture between 10 and 2 o’clock, with the cut-out faithfully recreating the Moon’s appearance.

Adding to its elegance, the Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide comes with a sky-blue satin alligator leather strap, lined with plum purple alligator leather. The handsewn pin buckle is made from 18-karat white gold and set with 22 brilliant-cut diamonds, enhancing the luxurious feel of the watch.

Whoever said diamonds aren’t a girl’s best friend anymore hadn’t seen this masterpiece.
