A three-dimensional work of art, Globetrotter shows a second time zone via the world map in its center. While most world timers have the cities listed on a chapter ring, this timepiece expects the wearer to set the local time's hour hand, then set the home time by finding the location on the map using the crown, then aligning it with the 24-hour sapphire ring. The intriguing piece uses the Arnold & Son self-winding A&S6022 caliber. The domed globe depicts the Northern Hemisphere as seen from above the North Pole. The beautiful map was created in brass. The continents are chemically etched, then hand-finished. The mountains were sandblasted to create visual depth and the oceans are lacquered with blue tones. The globe is held in place via an arched bridge that spans the diameter of the dial. The 45mm watch is one of the world's largest rotating 3D world-time displays, with all three functions set from the crown.

This contemporary Swiss brand continually revitalizes the art of watchmaking, reinventing its approach to the craft through recollection of its founder, John Arnold. Overcoming the challenges of his time, Arnold sought to innovate time itself, conceiving some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and despite winning several awards, never halted his research into horology. The accuracy of his chronometers even reached regal regard, as they were utilized by His Majesty's Royal Navy, ensuring John Arnold as one of its principal suppliers.In the present day, precision continues to classify Arnold & Son. In particular, the Perpetual Moon 38 Eclipse timepiece boasts agility and animation as it is imbued with 90 hours of power reserve. Other collections such as its Ultrathin Tourbillion, Globetrotter and Eight-Day collections similarly imitate the infinity of time through unrestrained innovation.
