Description

Arnold & Son have installed their large moon in the night-sky that forms the hematite dial of this exceptional timepiece. In a large aperture, a disc turns to show us the age of the heavenly body, the appearance of its crescent and its light. This moon is crafted in mother-of-pearl, its shadows are hand-painted, and it is coated with Super-LumiNova. The other unique signature of this limited series is the buffalo with immense horns standing, imposingly, at 6 o’clock. It is a miniature solid gold hand-engraved sculpture. In the background is a scenery of multi-storey pagodas, hand-painted with gold powder. Their windows have also been painted with Super-LumiNova. Thus, at night-time, these temples are lit up from the interior and the Perpetual Moon takes on an inhabited aspect.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
