HM Steel Amber by Arnold & Son: a minimalist watch with a unique amber dial

Arnold & Son is back again with a new stone dial watch

Watches made from natural stones have an interesting aesthetic. While different brands have unveiled watches made from platinum, gold, and stainless steel, only a few have focused on high-quality gemstones.

Arnold & Son went out of the box with this new watch, the HM Steel Amber. It features a green dial, which is carved from a natural-occurring stone, amber. The appearance changes under different lighting conditions, giving the front face a unique look. It takes a million years for the gemstone to crystallize. While the dial is characterized by a light green hue, it also has a light brown hue that’s quite stylish.

Even though the watches are made from the same material, every timepiece has its own unique pattern—an interesting attribute of nature that makes everything stand out and gives each watch a level of personalization.

But it’s worth noting that Arnold & Son went for a minimalistic look. It leans more towards silent luxury. Featuring a casing that’s 7.8 mm thick, the HM Steel Amber is in line with the brand’s vision of timeless refinement. In the past few years, Arnold & Son has set the standard with sleek and powerful watches.

This new Arnold & Son watch draws energy from the A&S1001 movement, which delivers a 90-hour power reserve.

And thanks to the sapphire caseback, the back offers beautiful views of the caliber. Multiple components, from the bridges to the gears, can be viewed by turning the watch.

Arnold & Son is rolling out only 38 pieces into the market, making it a very exclusive watch. Each will cost $20,200.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
