The watch's design draws inspiration from the marine chronometers created by John Arnold in the 18th century. The meticulously sculpted continents and hand-painted oceans on the dial evoke a sense of global exploration. The overarching arch, reminiscent of the English naval ships of the era, adds a touch of historical significance. This Globetrotter Gold, measuring at 45mm prominently features a world map dome in its centre, depicting the Northern Hemisphere. This globe is framed by a striking open-worked bridge crafted in red gold, which serves as a visual signature of the series. The bridge, adorned with a functional ruby that anchors the axis of universal time, is a homage to the intricate craftsmanship of Arnold’s original marine chronometers.

The watch’s dial is a study of detailed artistry and functionality. The continents are rhodium-plated with a polished finish, while the mountain ranges are presented with a matte texture. The oceans and the coastlines are hand-painted in blue lacquer with pearlescent powder, enhancing their depth and clarity. The intricate design is complemented by a domed sapphire crystal that allows for a clear view of the three-dimensional rotating globe.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
