    The watch 

    The dial of the Arnage was the first part of the design process back in March 2024. In my mind it had to be a sky blue but what shade proved to be more difficult than I thought. It took my design team and I three months and many many arguments to agree on the colour - eventually Pantone 290c was chosen.  This beautiful shade, reminiscent of the June morning sun in Le Sarthe, is just right and then we added a sunray effect, so the dial reflected the Sun differently at different times of the day

    The case was the next challenge, we wanted this watch to be a statement piece, a piece of jewellery that had a watch dial installed in to. Most watches have approx 10% case showing and the rest the dial, Arnage features approx 25% case, so the polished stainless finish will look like a carefully milled piece of solid metal, with a jewel like dial installed in the middle. All finished off with anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass. 

    Finally, this low run watch is being made to mark our 10th Anniversary and so it needs to be special. We chose a Japanese automatic movement with 41 hour power reserve. To complete the Arnage story, it had to be a 24 hour GMT, showing a very subtle two time zone dial. The movements are visible through a reveal caseback again using sapphire crystal glass and the amount of jewels used in the movements? 24 of course.

    We are making 250 of these watches with only the first 100 engraved to celebrate our 10th Anniversary Edition.

    I hope you like this watch as much as I did designing it.

    Arnage, one of the most famous turns on the French motorsport calendar, is located near the town of Arnage. Known for its sharp, right-angle turn, it is one of the slowest corners on the circuit but also one of the most challenging. Drivers must decelerate significantly as they approach, making it a test of braking skill and precision. The corner’s difficulty is compounded by its location late in the lap, where drivers are often fatigued, making it a critical point in the race where mistakes can be costly.

    Over the years, Arnage Corner has become legendary among motorsport enthusiasts. Its technical nature and the risks it presents have led to numerous incidents and thrilling moments, contributing to the race’s reputation for unpredictability and drama. For many drivers, successfully navigating it is a badge of honor, representing their ability to master one of the most demanding sections of the circuit.

    Omologato has been represented in French racing for years and this is our celebration of it.

    A GMT complication is a simple way for the wearer to track two different time-zones - a “home” time and a “local” time. It achieves this through the addition of a 4th GMT hand which revolves around the dial once every 24 hours. The GMT hand points to a separate reference scale, and can be set independently from the main hour hand.
