SimplyAbuDhabi XLII

secondary display detailing the age of the moon on the case-back side, while the clearly readable markings are designed for high-precision lunar adjustments. The sophisticated celestial mechanics are also based on precise astronomical reality. The duration of a complete lunar cycle is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds and Arnold & Son has managed to replicate it in such a way that it will take 122 years for the movement’s display to deviate from the correct celestial reading by one day. The correction required at this time will be easy to make, as the Luna Magna Red Gold Meteorite’s moon- phase function is directly accessible from the crown. This practical feature has been made possible by Arnold & Son’s total command of the watchmaking process. The strap complements and completes the aesthetic of the timepiece, seamlessly echoing the lunar design evocation whilst also providing a stand-out style choice in hand-stitched ink-blue alligator leather, with an 18-carat red gold cover. This unique and highly distinctive creation from Arnold & Son will have you over-the-moon with admiration. Simply Abu Dhabi | 175
