“…Waves, moon, and beauty of the night light, three elements that narrate the allure of the latest model from Arnold & Son, the Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide. The precious timepiece that crafted to celebrate the captivating charm of the moon and the night tides..."

The inspiration and origin of this latest model are conveyed through the well-thought-out details of the dial. The shimmering moonlight reflecting off the great nighttime waves is interpreted using precious Mother-of-Pearl and ruthenium as key materials. This interpretation is further elevated with a technique that crafts the surface into flawlessly shaped wave patterns in shades of deep blue, effortlessly captivating every eye. Additionally, the dial is adorned with sparkling diamonds, symbolising the moonlight delicately dancing on the waves and highlighting Arnold & Son's meticulous craftsmanship in every possible detail.

Furthermore, this prestigious Swiss luxury brand has taken the inspiration for this latest design to another level. Through sophisticated mechanisms, precious materials, and truly advanced craftsmanship, which all help to enhance the storytelling, significantly. The case is adorned with over 80 high-clarity diamonds, complemented by a magnificent Marquise-cut diamond weighing over 2.62 carats meticulously placed on the dial. Additionally, brilliant-cut diamonds embellish the buckle. The entire Mother-of-Pearl and ruthenium inlay of this model has been meticulously supervised and overseen by Maison's experts, reflecting the deep-rooted English spirit and the brand's complete design charm impeccably.

Beyond its inspiration, artistry, and design, what truly makes this latest model intriguing is its choice of materials and mechanics. Crafted from white gold and measuring 38 millimetres in diameter with a thickness of 10.44 millimetres, the Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide houses the smallest manual movement ever created for the Perpetual Moon 38 collection: the A&S1612 calibre, which measures just 29.4 millimetres. This movement impressively boasts a power reserve of over 90 hours, showcasing Arnold & Son's commitment to excellence and charm in high-end watchmaking craftsmanship. With all these exceptional qualities, it's no wonder that the Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide is celebrated as one of the finest and most exquisite luxury timepieces for sophisticated women today.
