Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold Aventurine & Grey

Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold
Blue Aventurine & Cliff Grey Editions
Between Earth and Heaven
Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold welcomes two limited-edition dials. The radiance of 88 pieces in blue aventurine glass and 28 pieces in a warm, sunray-brushed grey joins that of the largest moon phase. Arnold & Son exhibits its mastery of colour, its sense of texture and its taste for materials, telling a nocturnal narrative that brings together the grey of a cliff, the iridescent white of the moon and the almost black blue of a starry sky.
Blue aventurine glass and cliff grey. Two new themes take hold of the 38 mm diameter red gold (5N) iteration of Perpetual Moon, giving two sophisticated dials befitting of the precise astronomical moon phase of the A&S1612 calibre.
From the outset, Perpetual Moon 38 was destined to become a fully-fledged collection, distinct from its larger 41.5 mm diameter cousin and its more assertive style. Behind the scenes is the unwavering quality with which Arnold & Son creates its movements and selects the elements for their exteriors.
White and green
Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 10.44 mm thick, the case of Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold is brought to life from a block of red gold (5N). Its bezel, four lugs and crown are polished, shining under the cold light of the moon. The blue aventurine dial, constellated with metallic particles, blends into a celestial vault sculpted from the same glass. The "cliff grey" dial, in a warm, sunray-brushed grey, boasts an ever-shifting moiré effect under a grained matte midnight blue sky.
These two limited editions of Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold are home to a huge moon phase. This luminescent disc of mother-of-pearl illuminates the sky, framed by the constellations of Cassiopeia and Ursa Major.
A 38 mm picture of precision
Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold transposes the watchmaking requirements that have always guided Arnold & Son into its slender case. The Arnold & Son Swiss manufacture has designed an entirely new calibre, the smallest in its collection, and dedicated it to Perpetual Moon 38.
At 30 mm, the A&S1612 calibre has been sized to fit the diameter of the case. The hand-wound movement continues Arnold & Son's tradition of calibres with long power reserves, reaching 90 hours.
 
Waxing moon, waning moon
The star complication of the A&S1612 calibre is its moon phase. Perpetual Moon 38 showcases a large moon disc. The different crescents occupy the large aperture between 10 and 2 o'clock, with the form of their cut-out faithfully recreating the appearance of the moon.
True to its tradition of precision watchmaking, Arnold & Son has given this moon phase an accuracy of 122 years. Continuously rising, it will take more than a century for this moon to lag one day behind the real one in our skies.
