Arnold & Son, a benchmark in classic fine watchmaking, is exploring uncharted territory on the map of horology. Longitude Titanium is a sports-chic COSC-certified chronometer with a 42.5 mm titanium case. The dial of Longitude Titanium is vertical satin-finished in a continuation of the bracelet’s finish, which is subtly intersected by the polished edges of its links. With a power-reserve display at 12 o’clock and an imposing seconds counter at 6 o’clock, Longitude Titanium pays tribute to John Arnold’s marine chronometers, his revolutionary vision and his decisive role in calculating longitude at sea.
The aesthetics and construction of John Arnold’s marine chronometers were necessarily classic and functional, and were adapted to the harsh conditions of the high seas. Longitude Titanium, a contemporary interpretation of the great English watchmaker’s work, coherently combines this naval heritage with a refined design and highly resistant materials. The movement’s ‘chronometer’ certification is an essential addition to this scene, with its historical ties to Arnold’s creations and his quest for accuracy.

A timepiece focused on the essential—yet anything but ordinary.

Chronoswiss proudly introduces the Small Second, the beginning of a new family in the Modern Mechanical collection. The vision? To create a bold mechanical timepiece, stripped of excess yet rich in craftsmanship and detail.

With its 40mm stainless steel case and slim 11.5mm profile, the Small Second is the sleekest Chronoswiss in the current collection. Designed with refinement and precision, the case features polished sides, sandblasted & sculpted lugs, as well as the most streamlined crown the watchmakers of Lucerne have ever created. Every detail serves a purpose, ensuring a fascinating mechanical experience.

Yet, focusing on the true essence does not mean compromise. The curved dial construction, intricate 3D layering, and handcrafted dials transform the Small Second into a study of watchmaking complexity.

At its heart beats the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6000—ensuring precision, reliability, and the unmistakable rhythm of a true mechanical timepiece.

Waxing, gibbous, blue: the power of the moon imposes itself on the Earth and even more so, on the seas. Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide celebrates the fluctuating pull of this celestial body on the water. A large moon disc appears over vast waves. Made of mother-of-pearl and ruthenium, they rise one after the other in a cascade of soft curves. This scene, illuminated by diamonds, celebrates the femininity, elegance and evocative power of Arnold & Son’s watchmaking.

Powerful and plentiful, the waves of Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide herald heavy seas. In the blue of the night, the tide is at its highest, and so are the rollers. The moon, capricious and triumphant, imposes its will. The gradations of the water are topped with a sparkling foam. Beneath the peaceful light of Selene, the ocean rages on.

Arnold & Son interprets this powerfully symbolic scene through mechanisms and minerals. The astronomical moon complication of Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide is adorned in mother-of-pearl and ruthenium: a delicate, evocative composition that fully expresses the dial-makers’ expertise. The mother-of-pearl marquetry, ruthenium crystal inlays and abundance of diamonds symbolise the painstaking care lavished on the women's collections of Switzerland’s most English brand.
