In one of the most captivating collaborations of the year, Arnold & Son has partnered exclusively with Exquisite Timepieces to unveil the Luna Magna Red Gold 5N Turquoise Edition—a stunning, limited-release piece of just five that reimagines celestial watchmaking through the radiant beauty of natural stone.
The Luna Magna has established itself as one of Arnold & Son's most distinctive complications since its introduction, featuring a 12 mm three-dimensional moon sphere that rotates in harmony with the lunar cycle. This Turquoise Edition takes that signature complication into entirely new territory, crafting the moon from half turquoise and half Cacholong opal to represent the balance between Earth and sky.
Arnold & Son has long been recognized as a pioneer in integrating fine stones and celestial materials—such as meteorite, pietersite, and turquoise—into haute horlogerie. Each natural element, shaped by millennia, becomes a canvas for horological expression. The brand's willingness to push beyond conventional materials has yielded some of the most visually striking timepieces in modern watchmaking.
"This collaboration embodies both rarity and emotion. The moon and turquoise express two eternal forces—mystery and vitality—brought together in a case of pure gold. We proudly offer our collectors this unique edition that bridges fine art, craftsmanship, and celestial inspiration," says Tim Richardson, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Exquisite Timepieces.
The 44 mm case is crafted from 18K 5N red gold, producing a warm and radiant presence on the wrist. The Arizona turquoise dial captures and reflects light in vivid hues of blue, creating a dialogue with the moon sphere below. The hour dial is crafted from white Cacholong opal and treated with SuperLumiNova for enhanced legibility. In contrast, the three-dimensional moon—composed of half turquoise and half Cacholong opal—rotates through its 29.5-day cycle with mesmerizing precision.
Turquoise holds deep cultural and spiritual significance, revered by ancient civilizations for its protective and healing properties. Through this limited release, Arnold & Son and Exquisite Timepieces pay tribute to both the stone's heritage and the artistry of haute horlogerie, creating a bridge between the celestial and terrestrial worlds.
"Arnold & Son has always sought to merge the poetry of the cosmos with the precision of fine watchmaking. In this collaboration with Exquisite Timepieces, the Luna Magna becomes a mechanical achievement and a symbol of creative partnership," says Pascal Béchu, Managing Director of Arnold & Son.
The Movement
At the heart of this timepiece beats the A&S1021 calibre, a manual-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured in-house. The movement offers an impressive 90-hour power reserve and features a secondary moon-phase display on the case back for precise astronomical adjustments. The main plate features circular graining, while the bridges are finished with radiating Côtes de Genève and chamfering. Wheels receive a circular satin finish, and screws are blued, chamfered, and polished—finishing touches that reflect Arnold & Son's commitment to traditional haute horlogerie.
Summary & Price
The watch comes with two strap options: a black alligator leather strap with turquoise stitching and a turquoise alligator lining, as well as an additional turquoise alligator leather strap with black alligator lining. Both feature an 18K 5N red gold folding clasp.
Produced in a strictly limited edition of five pieces and available exclusively through Exquisite Timepieces, the Luna Magna Red Gold Turquoise stands as a radiant celebration of craftsmanship, rarity, and partnership—a celestial masterpiece brought to life in gold.
