 The watch features a 41.5 mm platinum case that exudes opulence and durability. The dial flaunts a unique “Fern Green” colour, inspired by the lush greenery of the ferns that thrive in the English gardens of Cornwall, where John Arnold, the founder, was born. This deep botanical hue projects a serene yet refreshing facade, reminiscent of tranquil moonlit landscapes.

The dial’s “Stellar Rays” finish employs irregular engravings to produce a shimmering effect, showcasing an intricate play of light as the wearer moves. Multiple layers of transparent lacquer add depth, enhancing this visual spectacle. The grained sky on the dial is treated with a midnight blue PVD finish, enveloping viewers into a serene celestial experience.

Moon Phase Complication

The Perpetual Moon complication stands out, depicted on a large, white mother-of-pearl disc. This feature is set amidst a starry background showcasing the Ursa Major and Cassiopeia constellations.

Both the constellations and the moon are hand-painted and enhanced with Super-LumiNova, which remains invisible during the day but glows brightly at night, presenting a captivating nocturnal display.
