Rather than the power from the mainspring flowing directly into the escapement, it has to first pass through Arnold & Son’s continuous force mechanism. The already controlled power supply charges a small hairspring, which releases a constant amount of force to the tourbillon once a second. With this mechanism, there will still come a point […]
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 like for me to remind you what the biggest issue is on watches with fully skeletonized dials and movements? It is that you can often see right through to your own skin and arm hair. Yes, those sexy-looking timepieces with skeletonized movements and dials can seem amazing in theory (and pictured alone), but […]
While it isn’t glitzed up with new technology or a fancy story, the new Arnold & Son Eight-Day Royal Navy is most certainly a sleeper hit of Baselworld 2016 with an attractive dial, good-looking and useful movement, and all-around decent price in three new steel-case models. Arnold & Son isn’t shy about saying that the […]
For Baselworld 2017, Arnold & Son unveiled another masterfully skeletonized watch that carries the brand’s conceptual DNA forward. The Arnold & Son DBG Skeleton is the most recent addition to the DBG (Double-Balance GMT) collection which we analyzed the first, non-skeletonized variant of in greater detail back in 2013. For all those unfamiliar with this […]
Instead of the energy from the mainspring flowing directly into the escapement, it must first pass through Arnold & Son’s constant force mechanism. The already regulated power supply charges a little hairspring, which releases a constant quantity of power to the tourbillon once per second. With this mechanism, there will nevertheless come a stage when […]
A followup to the Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 announced during Baselworld 2017, this new version presents dark grey and rose gold tones that serve to boost the visual beauty and complexity of a watch that showcases the brand’s technical art. More importantly, the watch comes with a brand new stainless steel case with anthracite DLC […]
When trying to solve a problem, the beginning is always a good place to start. That’s exactly the process followed by Arnold & Son in their attempt to eliminate isochronal error from one of their newest pieces, the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon. Arnold & Son’s heritage exists in the legacy of John Arnold […]

For that reason, I always look forward to the interesting watches that are donated to the Only Watch auction series which is currently being run by the auction house Christie’s. Only Watch is an event that we’ve covered […]
