Experimental: ARC II — Poltergeist

From Arcanaut

A Restrained Spirit Even our wild side occasionally wears a clean shirt. The ARC II — Poltergeist brings our appetite for unusual materials together with a distinctly Scandinavian sense of restraint. We’ve kept the palette deliberately quiet, allowing the interplay between materials and textures to create the contrast. The irregular structure of aerospace-grade aluminium foam sits against the clean lines of a rhodium-plated chapter ring and matching hands. The micro-blasted steel case adds a softer texture of its own. Across this narrow spectrum of whites and silvers, each surface responds differently to the light. Of course, restraint has its limits. After dark, a powerful X1 white lume developed by our Swiss friends at RC Tritec shines through the resin-filled aluminium foam, bringing its irregular structure into sharp relief. At the center, a white lume-filled rhodium-plated triple handset (hours, minutes, and seconds) in the Grand Paw style, improving legibility against the irregular distribution of the aluminium foam. Available in our original 40.5 mm case and the new 37 mm size, the Poltergeist brings a quieter expression to the Experimental collection. Even though poltergeists are the loudest of ghosts, ours is probably the quietest spirit we’ve conjured in a long while. This is a time-limited release, debuting on October 31st, 2026, and crossing over to the astral plane on November 30th, at midnight CET. The Arc II — Poltergeist can be ordered now either via Arcanaut's website or via selected official retailers .
