ARNOLD & SON
CONSTANT FORCE TOURBILLON
British watchmaker John Arnold (1736-1793) ranked among
the most eminent specialists in marine chronometry.
Established in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Arnold & Son continues
to find inspiration in its founder's work. The Constant
Force Tourbillon is a technically superlative wristwatch that
reflects the eighteenth-century watchmaker's ingenuity. The
Manufacture movement is equipped with a constant force
mechanism and true beat seconds. The former has two
series-mounted barrels at 12 o'clock that ensure an optimal
and regular flow of power to the tourbillon. The latter, which
is clearly visible between 7 and 8 o'clock, stores energy
from the balance via a spring, which it releases at each
elapsed second only. The seconds hand therefore advances
incrementally, allowing time to be read with greater ease and
precision. 28-piece limited series.
