When it comes to interpretations of the moon phase, Arnold & Son has really been swinging to the fences with its bold and gorgeous Perpetual Moon watch. It gives this romantic complication a pride of place on the dial, letting its life-like depiction and substantial size instantly grab attention. Occupying the entire upper half of the dial, the moon phase indicator is a gigantic 29mm window where a large, well-executed 11.2mm moon is planted alongside a constellation of stars.

But all this beauty doesn't come at the expense of functionality, and in this brilliant balance of style and substance lies the watch's highest strength. The working of the moon phase is extremely precise, with only a one-day deviation every 122 years. It is largely because the indicator is integrated into the calibre in lieu of a module just added to the movement; no lip service paid here! Arnold & Son further ensures that its patrons can seamlessly use the extraordinary moon phase function by allowing them to set it using an additional indicator at the back, on top of the movement. It shows the age of the moon on a graduating scale.

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.
