Perpetual Moon 41.5 Platinum, Fern Green edition - Clear Skies

NOVEMBER 15 2024    |    Novelties

Moonlight illuminates a botanical green dial. The “Fern Green” version of Perpetual Moon 41.5 borrows the cool tones of the moon. The paleness of the platinum, the freshness of the fern green, and the midnight blue of the sky create an original flow of colours.

Maturity, diversity and mechanical exclusivity: the Perpetual Moon collection is constantly being enriched with new creations, consistently reaffirming the watchmaking and artistic talents of Arnold & Son. Following two other editions, one with salmon pink accents and another in sky blue, Perpetual Moon 41.5 Platinum is now available in this limited fern green version of 28 timepieces.

Its hue is inspired by the unique colour of the fern, an undergrowth plant found in abundance in the English gardens of Cornwall, the county where John Arnold was born.

 

Shimmering
The “Stellar Rays” finish enlivens the dial with a sophisticated shimmer. This aesthetic is achieved through cleverly irregular engraving. Various depths and widths of rays coexist and follow on from one another, creating a unique rhythm. Their succession produces a fluctuating play of light, accentuated by the depth created by several layers of transparent lacquer.

Realistically depicted and set against a grained sky with a midnight blue PVD treatment, the large white mother-of-pearl moon is also overlaid with Super-LumiNova. Invisible by day, this added colour gives it a whole new face by night.

Compass
Following in the tradition of the Perpetual Moon collection, the moon is surrounded by Ursa Major and Cassiopeia, both hand-painted and overlaid with luminescent material. The choice of these star patterns is an allusion to the history of marine chronometer-maker John Arnold.

These two constellations have always served as landmarks in the night sky. Halfway between the two easily identifiable groups is Polaris. Its position always shows the north and its elevation angle can be used to estimate the distance from the equator, i.e. the latitude. Before the invention of instruments to determine the longitude, it was the most reliable measure of a ship’s position at sea.

Accuracy
On the case back, a secondary display of the phases of the moon allows fast and accurate adjustment of the moon age. The manually-wound A&S1512 calibre that powers it is able to track its phases with exceptional accuracy. The total duration of a lunar cycle is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds. Arnold & Son has approached this so closely that it would take 122 years for this movement, if constantly wound up, to accumulate a 24-hour discrepancy between the display and astronomical reality.

Like all Arnold & Son’s movements, the A&S1512 calibre was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up at the manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This calibre uses two barrels and has an oscillation frequency of 3 Hz, giving a 90-hour power reserve.

Greubel Forsey Unveils Final Editions of the Balancier Convexe S² in White and Black Ceramic

Greubel Forsey introduces the final and most exclusive editions of the Balancier Convexe S²: one in black ceramic with 5N red gold, and one in white ceramic, each strictly limited to 11 pieces.
These editions conclude a calibre developed through five years of mechanical and architectural exploration, with production set to cease permanently in 2026.

The Convexe case (41.5 mm) and movement were conceived as a single architectural whole, integrating Greubel Forsey’s signature 30° inclined balance wheel system as the visual and chronometric centre. The openworked movement features 301 components, including a 68‑part escapement platform, and is 
powered by two rapid-rotation coaxial barrels delivering a 72‑hour chronometric reserve.

Finishing remains uncompromising: frosted titanium bridges, polished bevels, hand‑finished countersinks, and meticulous transitions — even on invisible components.

Two Final Interpretations
Black Ceramic & 5N Red Gold
A dramatic contrast of dark architecture framed by ceramic, with red gold adding warmth and sculptural depth.The interplay of matte and polished surfaces enhances the piece’s three‑dimensional form

White Ceramic
A purist, graphic expression that highlights the structural geometry of the movement through light and shadow.The monochromatic case offers clarity, openness and a distinctly technical aesthetic.

Both editions preserve the characteristic S² display: suspended hours/minutes bridge, small seconds, and sector power‑reserve indication beneath a curved sapphire crystal.

This launch marks the concluding chapter of the Balancier Convexe S²’s five‑year evolution — not an iteration, but a final statement. As of 2026, Greubel Forsey will begin a gradual shift toward an almost entirely new collection, retiring earlier calibres with intention and ceremony rather than quiet discontinuation.

The Opus Purple Rain carries this legacy into the future with unapologetic flair. Encased in Grade 5 titanium and finished with a radiant purple CVD coating, the watch is both lightweight and visually arresting. Its skeletonized dial, also rendered in ultraviolet hues, reveals the ruthenium-coated Chronoswiss C.741S automatic chronograph caliber, offering a 46-hour power reserve and a full suite of chronograph functions including central seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, small seconds, and date.

Adding to its rebellious character is a white UV-reactive leather strap that transforms into glowing purple when exposed to sunlight—an unexpected and surreal tribute to the energy behind this creation. Signature Chronoswiss elements such as the onion crown, coin-edged bezel, and patented Autobloc screw-in lugs remain intact, anchoring the watch in its heritage while embracing a futuristic aesthetic.

“The Opus Purple Rain is not just a commemorative piece—it’s a statement,” said Chronoswiss CEO Oliver Ebstein. “It embodies the spirit of mechanical transparency and innovation that has defined Chronoswiss for 30 years. This is a watch for those who dare to see how far precision and design can be pushed.”

With only 30 pieces produced, the Opus Purple Rain is destined to become a collector’s treasure—a celebration of the past, a vision of the future, and a mechanical theatre on the wrist.

Chronoswiss presents the ReSec Snake: A Venomous Twist on Modern Mechanical

Known for bold evolutions of mechanical wristwatches and daring designs, Chronoswiss unveils its latest creature: the ReSec Snake. Slithering between heritage and rebellion, this timepiece is a hypnotic blend of color, contrast, and kinetic energy — proof that modern mechanical watchmaking still has a few fangs to bear.

The Snake’s Bite

The ReSec Snake coils into view within a 42mm titanium case, coated with a mesmerizing color-changing PVD-coating that shifts from emerald green to turquoise, depending on the light. It’s not just a case — it’s iridescent armor, capturing the reptilian allure of a serpent in motion. Paired with a contrasting white rubber strap, the Snake wraps around the wrist with smooth, tactile elegance.

But the true venom lies beneath the sapphire crystal. A green CVD-coated dial, hand-guillochéd in the Lucerne Atelier, pulses with depth and hypnotic texture. It’s a dial that doesn’t just tell time — it seduces it.

Take a closer look, and the architecture reveals itself: the iconic 3D regulator layout of the ReSec series slithers across the dial, framed by green hour and minute rings and a retrograde second display, like the flick of a serpent’s tongue. Underneath, the exposed gear train glimmers in contrasting tones — a mechanical exoskeleton that moves with silent precision.

Fangs Beneath the Surface

Powering this cold-blooded beauty is the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6005, featuring a 55-hour power reserve, ruthenium-plated finishing, and a radial Côtes de Genève motif. It’s mechanical watchmaking at its sharpest: sleek, silent, and engineered to strike.

Limited. Lethal.

Only 100 pieces of the ReSec Snake will ever exist — a rare breed for collectors with a taste for the untamed. The ReSec Snake is a statement: of daring, of detail, and of defiance — proving once again that at Chronoswiss, we don’t follow rules. We shed them.

Encased in a 41 mm case of 750/000 rose or white gold, the watch is powered by the in-house calibre 100.1, a hand-wound movement visible through a sapphire crystal case back. Every component is hand-finished, from the Glashütte ribbing and polished bevels to the engraved balance cock. The watch features hours, minutes, and a small seconds display with a stop-second function, all operated via a gold crown and lateral pusher.

Completing the look is a hand-stitched dark brown alligator leather strap, offering both comfort and sophistication. The TREMBLAGE Green is not just a timepiece—it is a celebration of “Schönstes deutsches Handwerk” (the finest German craftsmanship), brought to life with modern sensibility and timeless appeal.

Chronoswiss Strike Two Stella Blue and Nugget: Where Precision Meets Personality

In the world of independent watchmaking, few designs capture the essence of mechanical artistry and thematic storytelling like the Chronoswiss Strike Two collection. With its signature horizontal regulator layout and exposed gear architecture, the collection is a canvas for both cosmic inspiration and historical homage. The Stellar Blue and Nugget editions, though forged from different visions, share a unified spirit: precision in motion, elevated by craftsmanship.

Architecture of Time

At the heart of both models lies the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6000, developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret. This automatic movement delivers a robust 55-hour power reserve, beating at 4 Hz (28,800 A/h). A skeletonized tungsten rotor, ruthenium-plated Geneva-cut bridges, and polished components reflect the brand’s commitment to mechanical transparency and refinement. Viewed through a sapphire caseback, the movement reveals a radial geometry that echoes the symmetry of the dial above.

The horizontal regulator layout defines the Strike Two identity: a floating hour display at 3 o’clock, central luminous minutes, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. Two architectural bridges span the dial, exposing the gear train and anchoring the visual rhythm of the watch.

Stellar Blue – A Tribute to Cosmic Velocity

The Stellar Blue edition draws inspiration from the brilliance and motion of stellar light. Its dial features a deep blue CVD-coated base, hand-guillochéd with linear engraving that mimics the trajectory of light through space. A silver rhodium-plated subdial adds contrast, while the luminous minute hand glides across the dial like a comet in orbit.

Encased in matte grey sandblasted stainless steel, the watch offers a futuristic silhouette that complements its celestial theme. Measuring 40 mm in diameter and 12.7 mm in thickness, it wears with elegance and presence. The strap is crafted from white nubuck calfskin leather, lined with blue Alcantara, echoing the dial’s cosmic hue.

Nugget – A Homage to Discovery and Rarity

In contrast, the Strike Two Nugget is a celebration of terrestrial treasure — a mechanical gold rush forged in solid 18ct red gold. Inspired by the thrill of unearthing something precious, the Nugget edition elevates the Strike Two architecture with warmth, weight, and richness.

Its anthracite dial, hand-guillochéd and treated with a galvanic finish, reveals depth and texture. A glossy white lacquered small seconds subdial punctuates the monochrome palette, while the exposed gearwork beneath the hour display adds mechanical drama.

The case, polished and sandblasted, retains the 40 mm diameter and 12.7 mm thickness, but its golden sheen transforms the watch into a statement of rarity. Paired with a black nubuck calfskin strap lined in blue Alcantara, the Nugget balances boldness with refinement..

Two Visions, One Philosophy

Whether inspired by the stars or the soil, the Strike Two Stellar Blue and Strike Two Nugget embody Chronoswiss’s philosophy of independent design, mechanical excellence, and thematic storytelling. Limited to 100 pieces each, these timepieces are not just instruments of time — they are expressions of discovery, crafted for collectors who seek meaning in every detail.
