In\u003cbr\u003efact, in the grand scheme of things, Denmark has an even more impressive record of\u003cbr\u003eproducing world-beating baristas than it does trend-setting horologists (we’re the\u003cbr\u003eexception, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArcanaut’s history of brewing the apex cup o’ Joe is shorter, but the knowhow being\u003cbr\u003edeployed here has existed for several years already. This dial, as is the case for the\u003cbr\u003eFordite dials also, has its origins in a different project pursued by James Thompson AKA\u003cbr\u003eBlack Badger in his life before Arcanaut...\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020, James partnered with George Bamford’s Bamford Watch Department and Swiss\u003cbr\u003esuper-brand TAG Heuer, to create a well-received 20-piece limited edition run of Carreras fitted with an incredible coffee composite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis material uses specially selected beans, ground to a fine powder before being\u003cbr\u003eintroduced 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\u003cbr\u003ebeautifully with the mottled browns of the dial, and the X3 SLN Lumicast blocks used on\u003cbr\u003ethe dial and hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inviting colourway that uses varying shades of brown alongside\u003cbr\u003ethe muted grey of blasted stainless steel, aims to evoke the Scandinavian concept of\u003cbr\u003e“Hygge”, which roughly translates to, “A quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality\u003cbr\u003ethat engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase back\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen is it available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new Arcanaut Arc II D’Arc Roast Limited Edition is available for order now.
