John Arnold was a highly skilled and innovative British watchmaker of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who did much to streamline and industrialize the production of his timepieces. Ernest Shackleton, Captain James Cook, and Dr. David Livingstone are just a few of the explorers who took his chronometers with them on their adventures. Today, the Swiss manufacturer Arnold & Son continues to produce exacting timepieces with classic, elegant stylings. 

With a spectacular dial like no other, this Globetrotter 45 by Arnold & Son places you firmly on top of the world.

Its brushed, lacquered opaline dial showcases a sculpture of the northern hemisphere, complete with hand-painted oceans and SuperLuminova-enriched shorelines that glow in low light.

Printed Roman numerals can be found upon the outer edge of the dial while ringing the Earth there is a second time zone 24-hour scale.

While the dial displays a singular debonair beauty, turn the timepiece over to appreciate the exquisite beauty of the movement via the exhibition caseback. 

Here we see the in-house self-winding automatic A&S6022 caliber in action and are able to appreciate the Clous de Paris guilloché pattern upon the oscillating weight. This movement beats at 28,800 vph, possesses 29 jewels, and delivers a 45-hour power reserve.

The stainless steel case measures 45 mm in diameter, 17 mm in height, and rests upon a fashionable hand-stitched blue alligator leather strap with a stainless steel prong buckle. Additional features include a push / pull winding crown, 30 m / 3 atm water resistance, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

As a work of art, it's difficult to surpass the Arnold & Son Globetrotter 45. We are confident that it will take center stage in your collection.

Standout features: Stunning hand-painted globe sculpture; GMT function; unique case architecture; beautifully decorated in-house movement.
