Since the dawn of time, the sky and universe have been important sources of
inspiration for scholars, scientists, poets, lovers… and watchmakers. This fascinating
world is known to be as wide as mysterious. Horologists have long since found ways of
reproducing the sky nuances (including moon phases, one of the most important
complication) on a watch dial, although such displays have always been somewhat
inaccurate, either in terms of their visual depictions or their actual precision.
Further to the development of the famous True Moon watch, Arnold & Son pursues its
mission of providing a realistic representation of our grand cosmic world. Like its
predecessors, this stunning new model is entirely keeping with the Arnold & Son spirit of
discovery. Our engineers concentrated on space, a vast territory that Arnold & Son had
already begun to chart with the creation of innovative perpetual calendar and equation of
time mechanisms, and its precious aerial materials. The True Moon Meteorite is powered by
a world-first mechanism capable of keeping precise track of the true waxing and waning
faces of the nocturnal heavenly body. To achieve this unprecedented feat, it is calculated on
the exact synodal period corresponding to 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. Moreover, the
dial is a rare and precious meteorite stone from Arizona. It represents only 14% of all
meteorite stones found on Earth. Scarred with recognizable hatching, the meteorite is as
hard as steel.
In keeping with its time-honoured philosophy, Arnold & Son once again succeeds through its
new True Moon Meteorite in transforming the most complex mechanical and scientific
principles into cosmic refinement.
