We will not forget them

After 1,561 days of war and approximately 10 million Allied soldiers killed, the Armistice was signed on November 11 in the forest of Compiègne in the famous Wagon 2419D. The day this Armistice was signed put an end to what is known as "The Great War." A very unusual day with a chronology of events that deserves to be recounted.

The signature of November 11, 1918

The Armistice was signed at dawn on November 11, 1918, in the legendary wagon No. 2419D of the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL), in the heart of the Compiègne forest, at 5:00 a.m., marking the end of 1,565 days of war.

The Armistice and its ceasefire

Although the Armistice was signed at 5:00 a.m., the ceasefire did not take effect until 11:00 a.m., leaving the tragic six-hour wait to cost the lives of more than 800 Allied soldiers.

Marcel Terfve

Shot in the chest, Marcel Terfve was the last Belgian soldier to fall on the battlefield. He succumbed to his wounds near Ghent at 10:45 a.m., 15 minutes before the end of the war. He was 24 years old.

The poppy flower

During the Second Battle of Passchendaele, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was deeply affected by the loss of his friend. After arranging his funeral, he observed that poppies grew quickly on the graves of fallen soldiers. The following day, he composed the poem "In Flanders Fields." This poem transformed the poppy into a symbol of remembrance for the fallen, a poignant tribute that appears at 11:00 on the watch face, the very hour of the ceasefire.

A genesis in the spiritual home of the British royal family

A genesis in the spiritual home of the British royal family

A decisive turning point came in 2017, when Col&McArthur obtained an official license from the British Ministry of Defense and became a supplier to the Royal Guard. This recognition caught the attention of Paul Wright, Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II. During an interview at St. James's Palace in London, he suggested the creation of a watch dedicated to the centenary of the Armistice. Thus, Armistice 1918, Col&MacArthur's first commemorative piece, was born. This Armistice 1918 collection is limited to 1,918 numbered pieces.

“You have won the greatest battle in history and saved the most sacred cause: the freedom of the world.”

— Ferdinand FOCH (1851-1929)

The 1918 Armistice on the wrists of the world’s greatest leaders.

The 1918 Armistice on the wrists of the world’s greatest leaders.

Col&McArthur collaborated with the city of Compiègne in France and the city of Mons in Belgium. As part of these partnerships, a copy was presented to Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel in the Armistice signing carriage. It was also presented by the city of Mons to Princess Astrid. Finally, Albert II of Monaco received this symbolic piece in memory of his grandfather Louis II, who had fought in the trenches.

Technical description

Conceived following an interview with the chaplain of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at St. James's Palace (London), some copies were presented to major leaders during commemorations (Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, Princess Astrid, the Prince of Monaco, etc.)

The Swiss quartz movement of the Normtech line, caliber 6004D, powers this model with great precision. Equipped with 5 jewels and a patinated gold finish, this 11 1/2 lignes caliber ensures reliable and elegant performance, with an extended service life thanks to its EOL (End of Life) technology.

The 43mm case, with a thickness of 9.1mm, is crafted from SS 316L stainless steel, ensuring robustness and elegance. Its polished finish gives it a refined and brilliant look, while the sapphire crystal ensures exceptional clarity. The 5 ATM (50 meters) water resistance and the 20mm lug width ensure optimal protection, while maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic.

The caseback, made of SS 316L stainless steel, features a polished finish that highlights the elegance of the piece. Its clip-on closure mechanism ensures optimal security while preserving the simplicity of the design.

The brown leather strap combines comfort and refinement. Equipped with a folding clasp, it offers a precise and secure fit, adapting to wrist circumferences of 170 to 210 mm. An elegant choice of material, designed to last.
