Arnold & Son debuts the Longitude Titanium timepiece ahead of Watches and Wonders Geneva, marking an exploration into new horological realms. Inspired by John Arnold's historical chronometers, this 42.5 mm titanium watch pays tribute to the watchmaker's pivotal role in maritime navigation.
The design of the Longitude Titanium timepiece blends naval heritage with contemporary aesthetics and durable materials. The COSC-certified movement further ensures accuracy. The watch's ergonomic design draws inspiration from sailing boats, featuring curved lines and a basin-shaped case back. The dial layout, on the other hand, reflects John Arnold's marine chronometers and captures attention through the inclusion of luminescent hour markers and a power-reserve indicator. The colors of the dials are inspired by Cornwall, Arnold's birthplace. Individuals can choose between sandy golden, ocean blue, and fern green shades for the Longitude Titanium timepiece.
