The Arcanaut Arc II — D’Arc Roast Limited Edition blends the brands love of watchmaking and fine coffee by utilizing a ground bean composite dial, brewed to perfection...
Did you know the Danes love their coffee just as much as they do their fine watches? In
fact, in the grand scheme of things, Denmark has an even more impressive record of
producing world-beating baristas than it does trend-setting horologists (we’re the
exception, obviously...) Four of the first seven Barista world champions were Danes, with Martin Hildebrandt, Fritz Storm, Trouls Overdahl Poulsen, and Klaus Thomsen taking home the title in years 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2006 respectively. That means Denmark is, despite not having won the title in 19 years, still the most successful nation ever to compete on the world stage.
Arcanaut’s history of brewing the apex cup o’ Joe is shorter, but the knowhow being
deployed here has existed for several years already. This dial, as is the case for the
Fordite dials also, has its origins in a different project pursued by James Thompson AKA
Black Badger in his life before Arcanaut...
In 2020, James partnered with George Bamford’s Bamford Watch Department and Swiss
super-brand TAG Heuer, to create a well-received 20-piece limited edition run of Carreras fitted with an incredible coffee composite.
Dial Material
This material uses specially selected beans, ground to a fine powder before being
introduced to a ultra-hard, UV-resistant binding agent and red into millable blocks under intense pressure. The result is definitely the brands tastiest (but still very much inedible) dial yet.
The Grand Paw hands return for the Arcanaut Arc II — D’Arc Roast Limited Edition but this time they’ve been heated until they oxidised to a warming bronze tone, which pairs
beautifully with the mottled browns of the dial, and the X3 SLN Lumicast blocks used on
the dial and hands.
This inviting colourway that uses varying shades of brown alongside
the muted grey of blasted stainless steel, aims to evoke the Scandinavian concept of
“Hygge”, which roughly translates to, “A quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality
that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.”
Case back
On the reverse, the D’Arc Roast is fitted with one of Arcanaut's proprietary Glowpatch case back designs, showing an excitable coffee cup, spilling his enthusiasm for all to see.
