LONDON STORIES

Unfortunately limited to just 20 pieces, Arnold & Son’s HM London bridges 260 years of British horological history on a single canvas. By day, a shimmering blue mother-of-pearl dial displays the stoic, historic architecture of London—the Gothic spires of Westminster and the iconic dome of St Paul's. But as darkness falls, a clever Super-LumiNova transition transforms the horizon. The historical landmarks fade into shadows, replaced by the glowing, ethereal outlines of modern marvels like the London Eye and the Shard, capturing the perpetual motion of travel.
