Named after an underwater area between Denmark and Germany, ARKONA blends "rings in the water" dial artistry with spectacular colorways and an ultra-slim 10.45 mm profile.
Inspired
by water's surface
Designed with the movement of water in mind, ARKONA’s dial features a center texture of guilloché pattern reminiscent of gentle surface ripples, surrounded by rings like rings in the water.
The ultra-slim case and protective crown guards create a watch that balances refined elegance with enduring strength.

Color and Performance
ARKONA’s dial stands out with bold, carefully curated colorways, brought to life after dark by Swiss Super-LumiNova® White10 BL Grade X1 on hands and markers.
Combined with 200 m water resistance and an ultra-slim 10.45 mm case, it’s a versatile automatic built for everyday adventures.
in every detail
ARKONA's gently curved lugs pair with the supple Trinity Grey 316L surgical-grade stainless steel bracelet to hug the wrist with ease, giving a smooth and refined presence.
The fully milled clasp features on-the-fly micro-adjustment for changing temperatures, while integrated quick-release pins make switching to rubber or leather straps very simple.
every element
ARKONA is rich in refined details: the outer dial rings frame a delicate guilloché pattern at the center, also seen on the rotor visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
Polished and brushed surfaces create elegant contrast, while chamfered edges on the bracelet, bezel, and lugs add crisp definition.
Crown guards protect the crown, which features a color-matched insert paired with a matching date-window background for a perfectly cohesive look.
Automatic movement
ARKONA is powered by the ultra-slim premium Japanese Miyota high-beat 9019 automatic movement.
The 9019 movement features a 42-hour power reserve, a high-beat frequency of 28,800 BPH, and a shorter hands tube height compared to its 9015 sibling, which has been instrumental in achieving the slim case dimensions.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Luminous
Swiss Super-LumiNova®
The hands, indices and bezel markers are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® White10 BL Grade X1 that glows neutral white in daylight and ice-blue when dark.

Our DNA
Form follows function
We are proud of our Danish design heritage, which is the source of inspiration behind our designs.
We strive to create unique timepieces with a classic yet timeless design that will stand the test of time. Our design philosophy is rooted in the 1920’s “Bauhaus” design philosophy, where form follows function.
Did you know...
In our opinion, a great design is not purely limited to aesthetics.
That is why we only use high-quality materials, such as sapphire crystal, in our products– instead of cheaper and less durable alternatives, like mineral glass.
We are a small family-run Danish micro brand with a global reach.
Our passion is to bring something new to the table - to create timepieces with a unique aesthetic, solidly rooted in our Danish design heritage.
We often say “We do not do homages” and it is a rule we live by every day in our design disciplines. We strongly believe in order to bring something new to a century old industry, we genuinely have to think outside the box: whether that being new dial layouts, case shapes, materials or manufacturing methods.
The name “Henry Archer” is a direct translation of the name of our founder and product designer Henrik Schødt, who comes from a background in the 3D- and product-visualization industry, where he has spent close to two decades working for some of the worlds biggest brands.
Our design philosophy is rooted in the 1920’s “Bauhaus” design philosophy, where form follows function.
To this very day these are keywords that are the pillars of the world famous "Scandinavian minimalism” that has influenced architecture and many other industries around the world.
In our view, a great design comes from using clean lines and pure geometric forms.
All of the above allows the design to “breathe” and bring out the surface finishing and materials used.
