This highly unusual three-dimensional Globetrotter Night watch takes a totally different approach to world time indication. The center of the watch is a domed rotating globe with the continents on it. Behind it is a 24-hour disc used to set the time and locations - all from the crown at 3 o'clock. To set home time, the wearer pulls the crown out to its third position and finds his general location on the 3D globe - placing it as though there was a straight line passing through the dial. He then aligns the home location on the map with the correct local time on the 24-hour scale. Local time is similarly set (using the second position of the crown) and is read off of the red-lacquered hands against the outer Roman numeral ring.

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.
