This is a beautiful and unique timepiece!..   Arnold & Son...."Collectors of fine timepieces are used to having the finest materials involved in the creation of their watches. Gold, silver, platinum and diamonds all feature in many watches..... However one type of material, worth more per gram than gold, is rare even for watches, fragments of meteorite. Moreover, rare and precious meteorite stone from Arizona represents only 14% of all meteorite stones found on Earth. Scarred with recognizable hatching, the meteorite is as hard as steel".... Yet that is exactly the source for the dial in Arnold & Sons' True Moon Meteorite watch ..... Given the limited supply of meteorites and strictly limited edition of the watch, the True Moon Meteorite , I my opinion, might prove to be a good investment and or at least a unique addition to a collection... Arnold & Son......The True Moon Meteorite is powered by a world-first mechanism capable of keeping precise track of the true waxing and waning faces of the moon. To achieve this unprecedented feat, it is calculated on the exact synodal period corresponding to 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes...The moon phase display at 6 o'clock is set by a pusher integrated in the case at 10 ...     Arnold & Son Black hand stitched leather strap with signed 'Arnold & Son' logo Deployment Clasp.........   Arnold & Son..
