Instead of the see-through approach that some brands use, Arnold & Son skeletonizes its movement and sets it atop the mainplate so that all is visible from the dial side. The A&S8600 hand-wound movement is made of nickel silver and steel with 18K rose gold-treated bridges and mainplate. Haute horlogerie finishings include sand-blasted bridges with chamfered and polished edges, 18K gold chatons and more. The 46 mm 18K rose gold case has a see-through sapphire caseback. Just 28 pieces will be made.

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.
