DETAILS

Centered on the moon theme so dear to Arnold & Son, Luna Magna Platinum is a limited series of only 28 pieces. The smooth, understated shine and weight of the platinum give the piece a certain majesty. Set in aventurine crystal, the metallic crystals bring the dial to life with their brilliance. Half of the 12mm three-dimensional moon is made of grey marble, and the other half of aventurine crystal, reflecting the moon's dual nature. Guided by an exclusive moon-phase complication, this chiaroscuro, this movement of the light, make the Luna Magna Platinum a living, ever-changing, fleeting yet everlasting timepiece.

The celestial mechanism also owes its sophisticated design to the fidelity in its astronomical accuracy. A complete lunar cycle is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2.8 seconds. Arnold & Son have succeeded in approximating this cycle such that, if the watch was never stopped, it would take 122 years for the moon-phase display to accumulate a day's discrepancy from the correct phase. And the correction is easy since Luna Magna Platinum's lunar function is accessible directly from the crown. A practical solution made possible by Arnold & Son's total mastery of the watchmaking process.
