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 was identified as a creative illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Aurora of Arthur Automatic Wristwatch received the Bronze A' Design Award in Watch Design in 2024. The A' Watch Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design competition that celebrates superior design of chronographs, dive watches, dress watches, quartz watches, automatic watches, smartwatches, luxury watches, sports watches and more.
