Experimental: ARC II — Green Fairy
VAT included. Free shipping.
NOTE FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE USA:
THIS WATCH SHIPS DDP TO THE UNITED STATES.
What does this mean? As you may have heard, there’s been an “evolution” of international trade policies, which means goods entering the USA are subject to new tariffs that makes buying with confidence difficult. What we’ve decided to do is ship all of our watches to the United States Direct Duty Paid, which means the price you see online is the price you pay in total (with no hidden fees) minus any State tax that may be due (this depends on your shipping location)
We hope this moveis an agreeable halfway house during these uncertain times. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch.
The Arcanaut ARC II – Green Fairy
Like the absinthe muse it's named after, the Green Fairy glows from within. Its dial is a luminous disc of vivid green X2 Super-LumiNova, nestled beneath a latticework of aerospace-grade aluminium foam. The effect is hypnotic: a display that looms into life in low light, revealing unexpected depth and texture.
With this piece we wanted to create a design that evoked the somewhat otherworldly allure of absinthe and the hallucinatory fairy that often stops by to say hello when you’ve had one dram too many (unless meeting her was the goal, of course).
Turn the watch over to see our playful pin-up-style Green Fairy. But beware. She’s got a knife. Make sure you’re polite otherwise (and we have this on good authority), she will stab you.
We hope you enjoy our little nod to those who've tasted the more… spirited side of horology.
Limited to just 66 pieces, the Green Fairy shares its skeletonized case with our other experimentals, machined and finished in Denmark, with hands dial and caseback made in our workshop in Copenhagen.
A dream for the night owls. A spark for the brave. A fairy you’ll want to follow.

Description
Case
316L stainless steel case, CNC milled north of Copenhagen with tolerances down to a micron (a thousandth of a millimetre or about the same size as a bacteria). The case has received our new "skeleton framing" decoration, with matte micro-blasted recesses. As with all our watches, the case features our signature "Pentablock" crown, which is shaped to follow the form of the case perfectly.
As with the case, the crown is CNC milled with a tolerance down to a micron to make it fit perfectly into the side of the case.
Hands
Laser-cut micro-welded, rhodium-plated steel hands, made in the southern part of Denmark and plated right here in Copenhagen.
Caseback
This second generation "Glowpatch" shows a mischievous Green Fairy most commonly associated with the excessive consumption of absinthe. Something we know a thing or two about...
The new design improves on the original concept with sharper lines, better lume performance, and more visual depth in the design thanks to of the two-part construction.
The decorative medallion is fitted with an o-ring and sits beneath a gasketed flat sapphire crystal, which ensures water resistance and the longevity of the lume.
Delivery
Watches will be assembled and delivered in batches throughout 2025, starting in September. You will receive an accurate shipping estimate upon order confirmation.
