For Baselworld 2017, Arnold & Son unveiled yet another masterfully skeletonized watch that carries the brand’s conceptual DNA forward. The Arnold & Son DBG Skeleton is the newest addition to the DBG (Double-Balance GMT) collection which we reviewed the original, non-skeletonized version of in greater detail here back in 2013. For those unfamiliar with this piece, it’s basically two…
The case measures in at 44mm, will be available in rose gold, also is water-resistant around 30m. The dial is totally skeletonized with double balances set against C?tes de Genève stripes, providing a wonderful contrast and extra girth. The time zone indicators, as with previous models, differ with Roman and Arabic numerals against an increasingly…
In 2013, Arnold & Son managed the incredible feat of creating a super thin tourbillon watch called the Ultra-Thin Tourbillon Escapement, or simply, the UTTE watch. The watch was just 8.34mm thick, while the movement itself was a scant 2.97mm thick. Though it has lost the title of the world’s thinnest tourbillon watch to the Bulgari…
In a bold effort that pays homage to one of the most historically significant chronometers – the John Arnold pocket chronometer No. 1/36 – Arnold & Son has just announced the new Arnold & Son Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 Gunmetal. A followup to the Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 announced during Baselworld 2017, this new version…
Arnold & Son produces some beautiful moon phase watches, and there’s a new piece in the collection with a new twist. Building on the HM Hemisphere Perpetual Moon model, the Arnold & Son HM Double Hemisphere Perpetual Moon watch joins the brand’s Royal Collection. With a second three-dimensional moon, the Arnold & Son HM Double Hemisphere Perpetual…
Would you prefer for me to remind you what the biggest issue is on watches with completely skeletonized dials and moves? It’s that you could often go through to your arm and skin hair. Yes, those sexy-looking timepieces with skeletonized movements and dials can seem amazing in theory (and pictured independently), but put them on…
We are running out of superlatives to describe F.P. Journe. Widely regarded as one of the finest watchmakers of his generation, this man famously made his own tourbillon timepiece at the age of just 27, when he decided that the only way he could afford one was to make one for himself. Today, the man…
Arnold & Son produces a wide range of watches that vary in their level of romanticism, complication, and technical attributes. From their highly technical UTTE tourbillon, to the very romantic Time Pyramid, or even the complicated and impressive CTB Chronograph, Arnold & Son has an undeniable ability to turn heads with beautiful and detailed designs that instill…
Once set, the accuracy should hold for 122 years, and an easy adjustment will guarantee it to get another 122 decades. The hand-wound movement is an Arnold & Son manufacture A&S1512 which defeats at 21,600 bph with a 90-hour power book. The movement itself is 5.35mm thick and features 27 jewels, while the instance is…
Based on the design of an antique clock, the Arnold & Son Time Pyramid is easily one of my favorite high-end watches of 2013. For 2014, Arnold & Son added a steel version of the Time Pyramid to the collection, offering a more affordable and still very cool model to compliment this 18k red gold…
