ARC II — Liberty Green for Collective Horology
VAT included. Free shipping.
The story...
One hundred years ago on October 15th, 1924, American president Calvin Coolidge declared the Statue of Liberty a national monument. Now, in honour of one of the world’s most recognisable symbols of freedom and in partnership with our sole US-based retailer, Collective Horology, we are releasing the Arcanaut ARC II — Liberty green model.
What is the dial material?
The Liberty Green is presented in our classic 40.52 mm ARC II case on a black strap. The dial is an in-house developed composite made from copper carbonate and a UV-resistant binding agent to mimic the verdigris of the statue itself. Around the outside of the CNC-machined dial are twelve LumiCast hour markers, set into the dial to provide depth, visual interest, and incredible performance when the lights get low.
For this model, we have chosen the Chevron handset for maximum day- and night-time legibility. As an added quirk to this special edition model, we’ve employed a green-tinted anti-reflective coating to the underside of the sapphire crystal for an unusual but cohesive appearance.
On the reverse, the Arc II — Liberty Green for Collective Horology is fitted with one of our proprietary Glowpatch case back designs, showing an anthropomorphic Flame of Liberty, streaking across the case, surrounded by stars.
The Arcanaut ARC II — Liberty Green for Collective Horology is exclusively available through Collective Horology. It is limited to 100 pieces in total and is available for pre-order from today (October 15th, 2024). The first watches are expected to be ready for dispatch eight weeks from now and orders will be fulfilled in chronological order of payment confirmation.
Who is it for?
Most current Arcanaut owners are long-time collectors that had become jaded with mainstream brands and inauthentic sales practices. More experienced collectors tend to be less conservative with their choices and actively seek out something fresh and daring. Arcanaut satisfies those criteria by always leading from the front on the subject of design.
When is it available?
The new Arcanaut Arc II — Liberty Green of Collective Horology is available for pre-order now. Deliveries are expected to commence in eight weeks and should conclude by the end of the year. There will be a maximum of 100 pieces made.
Price: USD 4,400 excluding taxes and including international shipping.
The watches will be available exclusively via the web shop of our US retailer, Collective Horology.
This watch is available at our American retailer — Collective Horology.
