Aquilo | A Quintessentially British Masterpiece

David Linley ’s masterpiece showcased in the interior designer department of Harrods London

490 x 490 x 1010mm

QUINTESSENTIALLY BRITISH

Celebrating the link between timekeeping, astronomy
and navigation, the Aquilo is a horological furniture
fusing Linley’s mastery in cabinet-making and
Thomas Mercer's tradition in marine chronometry.

DAVID LINLEY

“Like horology, furniture-making is all about
precision and the Aquilo Marine Chronometer is an
extraordinary objet d'art fusing these two universes."

SEAFARING OBJET D’ART

Its name meaning ‘North’ in Latin and evoking the
eponymous star, the Aquilo is inspired by the
bow of a yacht, its cabinet made from slip
match blue eucalyptus and solid oxidised oak.

The celebration of horology: perpetual calendar and equation of time

The multi-complication movement boasts 30 days of power reserve and astronomical complications including perpetual calendar, equation of time, 3D moon, zodiac and leap-year.

ASTRONOMICAL TIMEKEEPING

The open-work dial magnifies the intricacies of the movement and replicates the veneer found in the
cabinet. The numerals are effected through a bas-relief technique, the hands made of blued steel.
