Aurora of Arthur Automatic Wristwatch

Aurora of Arthur

Aurora of Arthur is an automatic wristwatch inspired by the legend of King Arthur. The dial is made from natural mother-of-pearl, so each piece shows a unique pattern with a subtle fume effect. The case is made of 316L steel and shaped to recall dragon scale armour, while the winding crown takes the form of a crown. Sword-shaped hands and multifaceted hour markers are treated with luminous material for visibility in dim light. An open-heart aperture reveals the movement, and the rotor carries a carved dual-dragon motif. The band can be interchanged by the wearer.

Aurora of Arthur Automatic Wristwatch by Raymond Jones has been selected as a creative illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Aurora of Arthur Automatic Wristwatch received the Bronze A' Design Award in Watch Design in 2024. The A' Watch Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design competition that rewards excellent design of chronographs, dive watches, dress watches, quartz watches, automatic watches, smartwatches, luxury watches, sports watches and more.
