That means that from the front of the watch taking a look at the caseback you find a dim manifestation and no opinion of your ailing arm hair. So compare this metal “Translucent Back” variant of this Arnold & Son Time Pyramid with the first version that has the totally clear sapphire crystal caseback that I went hands-on with here. And this “updated” version costs a little more, of course. Approximately $2,000. It does look a bit steep after the original version in steel has been released less than a year before.The Arnold & Son Time Pyramid watch originally came out in 2013, and in 2014 I analyzed the 18k rose gold edition of the Time Pyramid on aBlogtoWatch here. This remains one of my favorite watches produced by Arnold & Son nowadays due to its unique design, superbly symmetrical motion, and excellent wrist presence. The case is 44.6mm broad (water resistant to just 30 meters) and made with a crown at 6 o’clock as a result of the design of the movement. Additionally, it gives the case a more compact look thanks to the symmetry you receive with the crown posture.

With design elements inspired by vintage pocket watches, the red gold Arnold & Son TES Tourbillon has an open-worked movement featuring a sapphire barrel bridge and guilloche base plate, along with a three day power reserve.

A resurrected name from 18th century English watchmaking, Arnold & Son looks to English pocket watches of the past for the new TES Tourbillon. The triangular cocks for the tourbillon and third wheel are shaped like those on old pocket watches while the base plate is decorated with guilloche reminiscent of pocket watch cases. And the barrel bridge is in sapphire with an open-worked barrel, showing the mainspring below. Unusually the winding wheel of the barrel features wolf’s teeth, an anachronistic but attractive feature rarely found on modern movements.

Note the wolf’s teeth on the wheel at the very top

The movement layout reveals most of the winding mechanism, gear train and tourbillon regulator. Featuring a dark grey NAC coating on the base plate and contrasting rose gold plating on the bridges, the movement is in-house, made exclusively for Arnold & Son by La Joux-Perret, its sister company, both of which are owned by Citizen Corp. It is hand-wound with a longish power reserve of 80 hours, or about three days.

The TES Tourbillon is limited to 28 pieces a 44 mm red gold case, and will retail for 139,000 Swiss francs, equivalent to about US$156,000.

Regardless of the big 44mm instance, the Arnold & Son DBG Skeleton wears quite well, with its slender 9.89millimeter profile easily slipping below a shirt cuff and the tapered lugs nicely hugging the wrist. The case is made from 4N rose gold along with the sapphire crystal has anti-reflective coating on both sides to help remove distracting reflections. My mind went into the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre versions, but in which they provide twin barrels regulated by precisely the same balance wheel, the Arnold & Son DBG Skeleton goes complete monoblock mode for each dial, if the Hi-Fi analogy is in any way apt for describing a wristwatch.Minor legibility and aesthetic caveats aside, the Arnold & Son DBG Skeleton is a handsome watch which manages to walk the fine line between attention-seeking and refinement with its bold, yet slender situation and gold-on-silver colour. A whole lot of performance is on offer for travellers who can use the well-executed GMT complication, and lovers of mechanical watches are rewarded with views of these dual balance wheels with every glance in the wrist. It’s good to see that the historic title of Arnold & Son still producing timepieces that push the boundaries of motion style, and do so in a well executed, thoughtful manner.

To mark the brand’s 250th anniversary, Arnold & Son will unveil the Royal TEC1, a chronograph with flying tourbillon is powered by the proprietary A&S8305 movement.

250 years ago John Arnold was one of England’s leading horologists, making clocks and watches for both the British Navy and the King. Today the resurrected brand name marks that anniversary with a tourbillon chronograph, which will be officially unveiled at Baselworld 2014. Inside is the A&S8305 calibre, developed by Arnold & Son’s sister company La Joux-Perret. Self-winding with a 55 hour power reserve, the movement has a tourbillon at 12 o’clock and a column wheel-controlled chronograph. A sub-dial at six records the elapsed minutes, while the elapsed seconds are in the centre. Because the tourbillon makes one revolution every minute, it also functions as the constant seconds hand. The rose gold case is 45 mm in diameter.

Arnold & Son’s strategy has been to create complicated timepieces priced lower than the equivalent of its competition, with the UTTE Tourbillon being a good example. So the Royal TEC1 retails for 92,448 Swiss francs, or about US$104,000, which is a substantial sum of money, but relatively less than what such timepieces usually go for.
