A platinum frame, a white gold body and a verdite base. Arnold & Son begins a new chapter of the Luna Magna collection with this sculpted dragon, undulating on a dial fashioned from an unusual ornamental stone.

Set in a 44-mm diameter case, this timekeeper is defined both by the power of its symbolism and the richness of its execution, combining artistic expression with mechanical mastery.

This limited edition of just eight pieces is inspired by the legend of the Dragon and the Pearl of Wisdom, interpreting it in a language of rarity, excellence and noble materials.

The dragon snakes, undulates and circles. Engraved in white gold, it plays with the volumes, surfaces and geometry of the veined verdite dial of the Luna Magna Platinum. It coils around the white opal hours-and-minutes sub-dial before encircling the object of its desire: the large three-dimensional moon, the hallmark of all Luna Magna timepieces.

The heart of the story

In this, the dragon remains faithful to the legend that inspired it, while Arnold & Son gives it a dual role. Literally, the 12-mm sphere displays the phases of the moon with astronomical precision.

Composed half of white gold and half of verdite, it reproduces the visible lunar crescent without requiring correction for 122 years. Figuratively, it embodies the Pearl of Wisdom, the source of the dragon’s power, which it has lost and seeks to reclaim. It extends its sharp talons towards it…

This dragon  comes  from the Asian tradition: wingless, associated with water and with five claws on each foot – a sign of its imperial lineage.

On the surface

For the first time in the Luna Magna collection, Arnold & Son has deployed a real profusion of artistic savoir-faire. The verdite dial showcases rare and precious veining. Among the wide range of nuances offered by this stone, only the finest quality was selected for both the dial on which the dragon rests and the half-moon.

The dragon itself is a work of art. Sculpted from a block of white gold, it has been meticulously hand-engraved with an exceptional level of precision, attention to detail and realism. Its scales, beard, crest, claws, and even its gaze, stand out in a striking relief that can only be achieved by the most skilled hands.

The Maison’s signature hours-and-minutes sub-dial in white opal adds both a poetic and a functional dimension. Enhanced with luminescent material, it absorbs light and emits a soft glow in the dark, ensuring easy reading throughout the night in a subtle echo of moonlight.

Under the stone

The Luna Magna Platinum Dragon Verdite owes its astronomical and chronometric accuracy to the A&S1021 calibre. This manual winding movement is fully developed, machined, assembled and adjusted in house. Designed around the lunar globe, the calibre combines a 90-hour power reserve with a regulating organ beating at 3 Hz. On the case back, a secondary moon-age display with clearly marked graduations allows the moon phases to be set with great precision.

The sophistication of this celestial mechanism also lies in its astronomical accuracy. Indeed, a complete lunar cycle lasts 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds. Arnold & Son’s meticulous approach means that it would take 122 years for the display to drift by a single day from the actual lunar cycle provided the watch were kept fully wound.

The moon-phase function of the Luna Magna Platinum Dragon Verdite can be adjusted directly via the crown. A practical feature made possible by Arnold & Son’s total mastery of the watchmaking process.

An exceptional skeleton timepiece

Arnold & Son and Ahmed Seddiqi celebrate the retailer’s 75th anniversary with a special edition, limited to 10 pieces and titled the Nebula 40 Steel, whose skeletonised calibre is impressive for its harmonious layout and distinctive style. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

With a 40 mm steel case, remarkable finishes to the movement, and a unique abundance of technical details, this design is outstandingly elegant and powerful. The Nebula stands out from all other skeleton watches. Its structure embodies horology, and its style expresses unique elegance.

A visionary partner

Founded in Dubai in 1950, Ahmed Seddiqi has become a leading name for watches in the Middle East, embodying passion, know-how and legacy. The family-run retailer has built a unique heritage, bringing together the world’s major watchmakers and cultivating a role as an ambassador for fine watchmaking in the region.

This edition pays tribute to this story of excellence and celebrates the special relationship between Arnold & Son and the Seddiqi family.

Noble colours

This anniversary edition can be worn with a choice of three bracelets: three-link steel, garnet calfskin and technical fabric in the same colour.

The skeletonised main plate and gold-finished barrels complement the Eastern Arabic numerals on the garnet-hued flange. The palladium-plated bridges echo the steel of the case, creating an equilibrium between materials and colours.

Seven bridges

Designed with purity of line in mind, the Nebula 40 Steel features a rounded flank and deep lugs that highlight the essential: its signature movement. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Inspired by nebulae and their spiral arms, the architecture of the A&S5201 calibre is based on seven functional and harmoniously arranged skeletonised bridges. Facing the centre, they present a radiating and transparent symmetry that forms the collection’s essence. 

At the heart of the star

Beyond its dazzling appearance, the calibre is attractive for its precise finishes. The bridges, hollowed out and polished along all edges, present alternating satin-finish surfaces and shiny edges. Every single component contributes to creating a structured and steady rhythm. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

On the case back, two intersecting ogival bridges support the functional organs, while the “Rayons de la Gloire” finish elegantly reflects Arnold & Son’s aesthetic.

Power and endurance

Equipped with two large series-coupled barrels, the Nebula 40 Steel offers a remarkable 90-hour power reserve, rare in skeletonised pieces but typical of Arnold & Son calibres.

Their energy drives the entire gear train, which follows the star-shaped arrangement of the bridges. The balance at the end beats at a frequency of 3 Hz, demonstrating this exceptional movement’s vitality.

A celebrated alliance

With this Nebula 40 Steel, Arnold & Son pays tribute to Ahmed Seddiqi’s 75-year existence, a symbol of watchmaking legacy and passion.

ARNOLD & SON – GLOBETROTTER 42 Steel Strand Blue & Greenwich Green Editions

ARNOLD & SON – GLOBETROTTER Steel 42 ‘Strand Blue’ & ‘Greenwich Green’ World-Time Chronometers Limited Edition 2025

 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

CONQUERING NEW WORLDS 

Arnold & Son is revisiting its Globetrotter collection to present a version that is at once more compact, slimmer and easier to read. With its new 42 mm diameter, the Globetrotter 42 Steel features a steel case and is available in two versions, one named ‘Strand Blue’, the other ‘Greenwich Green’, each available in a limited edition of 88 timepieces.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

“It is worth remembering that the English watchmakers John Arnold and his son John Roger were pioneers in the field of timepieces designed for travel and exploration. In 1771, their creations were tested at sea by Admiral Harland, then used successfully on ships as navigational instruments for calculating longitude. These instruments enabled British soldiers, explorers and scientists of the time to gain the upper hand over all their competitors. One such beneficiary was the explorer James Cook, who took John Arnold’s first chronometers (No. 1 and No. 2) on his second voyage of discovery between 1772 and 1775. Another example occurred in 1792 at the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, when a John Arnold creation was entrusted by the Dutch to the French Rear-Admiral Antoine Bruny d’Entrecasteaux to help him with his search for the explorer Jean-François de Galaup, Comte de La Pérouse. Many of these instruments were also used on board the East India Company’s trading ships, or on vessels such as that commanded by Sir John Franklin during his third expedition to explore the Northwest Passage, an ice-free sea lane to Canada, in 1847.”

In memory of those heroic times when explorers set out to discover the world clutching maps and chronometers, Arnold & Son presents a new version of its famous Globetrotter, a contemporary timekeeping instrument dedicated to today’s travellers. Revisited in size and functionality, the resulting Globetrotter 42 Steel has been finely reworked to offer dimensions that are more in line with modern wearing practices. Its 42 mm diameter steel case appears all the more balanced with its new thickness of just 15 mm, while the exceptional construction of its dial has been retained.

This ultra-graphic dial has also undergone subtle changes that have made it visually more striking and technically even more effective for international travel. The structure retains its famous, delicately curved arched bridge – crafted from steel and worked by hand –which can be considered the signature feature of the collection. The bridge demarcates the hours of the day and night on the 24-hour bezel ring and, with the ruby set in its centre, holds in place the dome representing the northern hemisphere as seen from the North Pole. On the dome, the metallic continents, which have been sunray-brushed to accentuate their relief, stand out clearly and strikingly against the oceans depicted in blue or green depending on the model. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Another notable change made by the watch developers at Arnold & Son to this mobile dome – which rotates once every 24 hours and enables world time to be displayed – is the addition of a ring around its perimeter bearing the names of twelve reference cities. Each of these cities, from both the northern and southern hemispheres, is symbolised by its code placed opposite its location on the map. These indicators are intended to give texture to the planisphere and allow the user to instinctively visualise the time in the location of their choice, as it is read opposite the 24-hour transferred numerals on the fixed ring of the local time dial, which itself is read using the two arrows that peak out from under the world map. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The decision was also made to present the dials of both versions of the Globetrotter 42 Steel in classic English colours. This is a signature of the design and naming traditions that run through all Arnold & Son ranges. The ‘Strand Blue’ model is therefore a reference to the London street that runs parallel to the River Thames and on which John Arnold’s shop was located. The colours of the ‘Greenwich Green’ version were chosen to recall the wooded hills that surround the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Both versions of the Globetrotter 42 are powered by the in-house self-winding mechanical calibre reference A&S6122, whose power reserve has been increased from 45 to 55 hours. This movement allows the home and remote time displays to be adjusted via the three positions of the crown. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Like all movements bearing the Arnold & Son signature, it was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up at the Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, the A&S6122 calibre features an engraved and finely openworked oscillating weight and is decorated with the traditional motifs of fine watchmaking. Its main plate is circular-grained, its bridges display radiating Côtes de Genève stripes, the wheels are satin-finished and the screws are chamfered and polished.

It should be noted that its palladium coating offers a particularly interesting light-grey finish that perfectly complements the cases of the models it powers.

These watches, with their sophisticated graphics and practical features for travellers, are worn on alligator leather straps in ‘ink’ blue or ‘Cornwall’ green depending on the model, and are fastened on the wrist with a classic stainless-steel pin buckle bearing the brand’s emblem.

 NEBULA 40 STEEL BLUE EDITION
A HARMONIOUS RADIATING SKELETON

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Elegant in its symmetry. Refined in its detail. Relevant in its strong horological focus. Nebula 40 Steel is a one-of-a-kind skeleton timepiece in which Arnold & Son combines style and substance, movement and design. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The star-shaped arrangement of its seven bridges and even its name, Nebula, create a coherent system: the radiating concept that governs the form of Nebula 40 Steel and determines its structure, topography and depth.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 Following the launch of Nebula 40 Steel in black and a golden edition celebrating 260 years of John Arnold’s legacy, a blue version is joining the variations on this skeletonised timepiece.

CONVERGENCE

Radiating towards the centre, the bridges are arranged around the edge of the main plate, itself formed of intersecting curves. These bridges meet in the middle to give Nebula 40 Steel its structural integrity and provide additional anchor points for the movement’s components.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Just as each bridge follows the last in quick succession, the organs inside the A&S5201 calibre are arranged in a peripheral kinematic chain. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The two large barrels that provide Nebula 40 Steel with a 90-hour power reserve, as well as the balance and small seconds, are positioned along four lines of symmetry. This equilibrium is one of the signatures of the collection.

TRANSCENDENCE

Nebula 40 Steel also comes to life thanks to a host of details stemming from Arnold & Son’s technical requirements, which produce an understated aesthetic effect. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

These include the openworked bridges with chamfered edges, and the crown mechanism, which has been inverted and transposed to the case-back side to create symmetry with the first wheel at 9 o’clock. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The same is true of the wide click spring, which controls the unwinding of the first barrel; the appliqué hour-markers, which have the same faceted design as the hands; and the proportions of the 40 mm-diameter case, which is balanced by a thickness of 9.10 mm to ensure complete elegance on the wrist.

FASCINATION

Last but not least, Nebula 40 Steel, Blue Edition is a confluence of colours. As its name suggests, the dominant shade is the blue of the movement. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

All the lower levels of the calibre feature a blue PVD treatment, and this hue influences the finishes: horizontal satin on the dial side of the main plate, and Arnold & Son’s signature ‘Rayons de la Gloire’ motif on the reverse.

In contrast, the bridges, ratchets, cogs and even the balance have a palladium finish to echo the colour of the steel case. A blue strap in alligator leather or rubber completes the timepiece.

Arnold & Son is also presenting a version with a three-link steel bracelet, whose understated design allows the balanced arrangement of the case and movement to truly shine.
