Since the dawn of civilization male has experienced an unnatural fascination with the Moon. Not surprisingly definitely offered the overarching result it experienced on numerous aspects of adolescence, plus it really is to some degree baffling capacity to show up and disappear through the night sky (this was before we understood the basic ideas of our solar process and orbit, of course). Even today with all our modern engineering and awareness the Moon still intrigues us. I do not find out about you but I continue to experience miniscule each and every time I search for during the sky and ponder the vastness of house and the amazing way the Moon seems to just cling there, suspended in time.
The replica watch -makers more than at Arnold & Son share this same fascination, it would seem, together with the brand yesterday unveiling one of their new timepieces for 2013; the HM Perpetual Moon.
The HM Perpetual Moon
As we've discussed before on The Enjoy Lounge check out manufacturer Arnold & Son have worked to build a strong reputation based on creating high quality, conservative timepieces that more often than not incorporate traditional complications. These pieces generally have a modern day twist and always showcase the latest in technological advances when it comes to quality and execution.
The HM Perpetual Moon is no exception iwc others replica , offering one of the largest and most precise moon-phase complications on the market. It truly is so precise in fact that A&S claims there will only be one day's deviation each and every 122 years and even then all you need to do is give a single push on the purpose-built corrector and it will keep in sync for another 122 years. This is made possible by the in-house, hand-wound calibre A&S1512, complete with double-barrel power supply, which has the moon-phase complication completely integrated as opposed to a separate module that has been added-on afterwards.
To allow for even greater accuracy the view also offers a unique easy-to-set feature thanks to the addition of a second moon indication on the back of the movement (visible through the sapphire caseback). This second display features a graduated dial and a pointer hand that allows for a more exact setting. Arguably it is a bit of overkill but at the same time A&S are attempting to recreate timepieces from an era when reliance on their accuracy for determining co-ordinates and the like was absolute, so I think it really is a nice extra touch.
Three Versions, One Moon
The HM Perpetual Moon will be offered in three different variations. Pictured above is the Fashionable model, presented in a 42 mm stainless steel case complete with a black guilloch�� dial with black guilloch�� moon disc and 11.2mm hand-engraved moon. To be honest I find the moon-phase complication in this particular make-up a bit overpowering as the dial is very dark and sombre as well as moon looks relatively ominous.
That being said there are another two models that A&S have not yet released images of, which I am quite looking forward to seeing. Both come in an 18k red gold case and offer the promise of a bit more color and contrast. The Elegant model features a blue guilloch�� dial in a stylized sunray pattern, blue guilloch�� moon disc with golden stars and hand-engraved moon, whilst the Classic model, has a cream-colored dial with a blue guilloch�� moon disc with golden stars plus the hand-engraved moon.
Hopefully we will have a chance to get hands-on with all three models next week at Baselworld, so please stay tuned for live pictures and pricing.
The Final Word
Whether you're a fan of traditional watchmaking or not it is hard not to admire the high quality work Arnold & Son are producing. They may not be a well-established household name yet but they definitely seem to be following the right track if that is there long-term goal, consistently producing interesting pieces that stay true to their stated goal of honoring the legacy of the famous English watchmaker, and their namesake, John Arnold
