Arnold & Son has once again made a mark in the luxury watch industry with their latest release, the Ultrathin Tourbillon Gold. Introduced at the Watches & Wonders 2023, this exquisite timepiece boasts of its impressive chronometric performance.
The 18k red gold case of the Ultrathin Tourbillon Gold measures 41.50 x 8.30mm. The case is adorned with a domed sapphire crystal with A/R coating on both sides, ensuring the watch remains scratch-resistant and clear.
At the heart of the watch lies a silver-toned opaline main dial that displays the hours and minutes through a domed, off-center white opal dial adorned with Roman numerals and open-worked hands. The tourbillon aperture at 6 o’clock provides a stunning view of the ultra-thin flying tourbillon, which features a carriage resembling a sextant and anchor.
The Ultrathin Tourbillon Gold is powered by the A&S8300 calibre, an ultra-thin (32mm x 2.97mm) manual-winding tourbillon movement, delivering a 100h power reserve. The movement is decorated with Côtes de Genève on the mainplate, circular satin-finished wheels, blued screws with mirror-polished heads, and hand-polished bridges.
This exquisite timepiece is completed with a hand-stitched blue alligator leather strap with black alligator leather lining and a folding clasp in titanium with an 18k red gold cap. The Ultrathin Tourbillon Gold is limited to 88 pieces and priced at CHF 70,000, taxes included.
