Arcanaut ARC-I

Profil de collection · 2018

Le modèle de validation de concept inaugural lancé en 2018. Fabriqué en Suisse, tirage limité, épuisé presque immédiatement.

Pourquoi elle compte

ARC-I matters because it was the watch that proved Arcanaut’s design thesis in the market: Swiss movement sourcing combined with Scandinavian case, dial, and component ambition. Even though the model is sold out and no longer merchandised on the current storefront, the brand still cites it as the starting point for everything that followed.
