The Luna Magna watch by Arnold & Son is likely one of the stealthier releases at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2021. This breathtaking product options an off-centred, white lacquered dial for the hour and the minute on the high of the aventurine glass dial, and an especially massive, three-dimensional moon section indicator at 6 o’clock.
Is it the primary wristwatch with a three-dimensional moon? No, it isn’t. However this one is BIG because the title Luna Magna implies. Actually, it measures a whopping 12 mm in diameter – the largest we will consider. For some context, this characteristic is as broad as many watches are thick, and this has some bearing on how thick this watch is.
One half of this sphere is manufactured from aventurine glass, identical because the dial itself, to symbolize the darkish facet of the moon. The opposite half is manufactured from marble because it symbolises the illuminated half.
The moon section indicator is ready by the crown and exactly so, due to a devoted scale on the again of the motion. You’d be appropriate to imagine that the moon section is an astronomical one, boasting the precision of a one-day deviation in 122 years. And because it weighs solely 2.2 grams, it doesn’t require a whole lot of energy to maneuver.
That’s the reason Arnold & Son can declare a 90-hour energy reserve on the hand-winding Calibre A&S1021. The watch measures 44 mm in diameter and 15.90 mm in thickness, already together with the domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on each side.
We count on the watch to be extremely wearable although because of the downward curvature of the lugs. This Arnold & Son Luna Magna in pink gold is marketed as a restricted version of 28 items. The manufacture didn’t point out the potential of future variations, however these are to be anticipated.
