Two New Versions for the HMS1 Line

I have to say that the folks in the PR department of Arnold & Son are some of the hardest working people out there.  I woke up this morning with this in my "in" box.  So without further ado, allow me to introduce:

and HMS1 1LCAW.S09A.C111W, 18-carat white gold

Now while it would be easy to jump to the conclusion that Arnold & Son simply knocked together a couple of watches one in white gold, one in rose gold, well that would be a bit short sighted.  Have an actual look at the dials.  Notice a few differences?  The devil, as they say, is in the details.  Arnold & Son have certainly come a long way from the "wilderness years" that troubled them in previous incarnations.  It seems that the horizon is bright, and a clear path has been charted.
