The Time Pyramid has been a sought-after watch in the Arnold & Son lineup for years. Now, the skeletonized watch is joined by an important horological feat: the tourbillon. The all-new, hand-wound movement, A&S8615, is organized in a pyramid-shaped format (in tribute to the clocks that the Arnold family built in the late 18th century) and showcases the tourbillon escapement at the 12 o'clock apex. With the added tourbillon escapement, chronometric precision is enhanced. So as not to disrupt the visual elegance of the watch, Arnold & Son places the crown at 6 o'clock on the case. The hours and minutes are depicted on the lower dial ring, and the seconds appear on the tourbillon. The blued steel hands on either side of the dial at 3 and 9 o'clock indicate the power reserve (90 hours) and display how the right barrel takes over when the left barrel is low on power.

This contemporary Swiss brand continually revitalizes the art of watchmaking, reinventing its approach to the craft through recollection of its founder, John Arnold. Overcoming the challenges of his time, Arnold sought to innovate time itself, conceiving some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and despite winning several awards, never halted his research into horology. The accuracy of his chronometers even reached regal regard, as they were utilized by His Majesty's Royal Navy, ensuring John Arnold as one of its principal suppliers.In the present day, precision continues to classify Arnold & Son. In particular, the Perpetual Moon 38 Eclipse timepiece boasts agility and animation as it is imbued with 90 hours of power reserve. Other collections such as its Ultrathin Tourbillion, Globetrotter and Eight-Day collections similarly imitate the infinity of time through unrestrained innovation.
