Baselworld 2016: Best Quality Arnold & Son Nebula Replica Watch

The name of the Best Quality Arnold & Son Nebula Replica Watch comes from the seven bridges radiating outward from the inner dial, which I suppose is supposed to suggest an exploding star. The watch is powered by two mainspring barrels (located at 10:30 and 1:30) that provide a 90-day power reserve. Despite the name and beautiful design, the watch is surprisingly affordable (relative to other watches, it’s still rather expensive) coming in at $14,500 USD for the stainless steel version or $25,750 USD for the red gold version.

If you’ve read this blog for some time, you know that I will never miss out on covering a new Arnold & Son Nebula Replica Watch. Picture

The Arnold & Son Replica is, in short, gorgeous. The movement bridges (there are ten of them, in fact, compared to four in a normal watch) make up the dial, if you could even call it that. The openworked movement is highly visible and the intricate inner workings are put on display for the wearer.

Top Quality Arnold Son Royal Collection Constant Force Tourbillon Replica Watch

As the movement would be far more difficult to produce at a smaller size Arnold  Son Royal Collection Constant Force Tourbillon Replica Watch  (I assume, at least) the diameter of the watch is 46mm. Larger than some might feel comfortable wearing, but definitely out of the range of a conventional dress watch. The two barrels work in conjunction. When one is running low on power, the other tops it off, allowing the watch to keep time more accurately. This beautiful movement is the calibre A&S5119 for anyone wondering. The CFT will be a limited edition of 28 pieces.

Picture Here’s another one of Arnold & Son’s novelties, the Arnold  Son Replica Watch, which I will now refer to as the CFT because I think that an A&S watch whose name is not an acronym is not truly an A&S. Probably could have phrased that better. Regardless, the CFT is, well, incredible. Featuring a patented constant force device with 60-second tourbillon and true beat seconds, the CFT truly shows A&S’ capabilities when it comes to watch production and mechanical engineering.

Best Arnold & Son Royal Collection TBTE Replica Watch

In the Best Arnold & Son Royal Collection TBTE Replica Watch (True Beat Tourbillon Escapement), the watch showcases the A&S8503, a hand-finished calibre featuring a tourbillon and true-beat seconds hand (as the name indicates). The case is 44mm in diameter. If anyone from Arnold & Son is reading this, please make a smaller case. Somewhere 40mm-42mm (when the movement allows for it). Anyway, the true beat second hand is located on the dial, but the mechanism is visible through the back. The history of the complication is described by Arnold & Son below.

Picture Here’s another new watch from Arnold & Son, one of my favorite brands by far. I personally love their designs, which are (in my opinion) impeccable.  This watch is new and different, but still possess the Arnold & Son Replica Watch I have come to love. The hands are legible and the case makes the watch comfortable to wear. At the same time, their movements are also top-notch.

The TBTE not only boasts a tourbillon but also a true beat seconds mechanism. The true beat seconds is a traditional complication of Arnold & Son, a complication that alludes to the precision timekeeping required for navigation at sea. Unlike conventional mechanical watches, a true beat seconds movement measures out time in complete seconds rather than fractions dependent on the balance frequency. This watch thus pays tribute to the watches produced by John Arnold and his son, when they were the first to develop marine chronometers that could be produced in quantity at reasonable prices. Those technically superior, widely distributed chronometers reflected Arnold & Son’s commitment to exceptional precision and solved the problem of determining longitude at sea.

Interesting stuff. The Arnold & Son Replica will be a limited edition of 28 pieces with a retail price of 147,600CHF (about $150,000 USD).

New Style Arnold & Son Instrument Collection DSTB Replica Watch

This particular movement is special, given that New Style Arnold & Son Instrument Collection DSTB Replica Watch features a true beat (also known as dead beat) complication that is prominently displayed on the dial. The new watch, unlike last year’s version, is stainless steel, a metal Arnold & Son has begun to use more often, a trend which I can appreciate. The change in metals not only improves the look, but also lowers the price. A win-win situation by any calculation. The case itself is 43.5mm in diameter, not the smallest watch, but the lower profile might make the watch wear slightly smaller. The contrast between the bezel and dial will also make the watch feel smaller.

Picture

Ref. No. 1ATAS.S02A.C121S If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know that I am a fan of Arnold & Son. I believe their design and craftsmanship is some of the best in the Arnold & Son Replica Watch  2015 brings us a new DSTB (Dial Side True Beat, last year’s version here) is A&S’ latest addition to their ever-expanding collection of watches.  It is a limited edition of 250 pieces. Picture Picture

This Arnold & Son Replica, like every single one of A&S’ watches, has an in-house mechanical movement. The dial is black, with a silvery opaline subdial with the hours and minutes. The seconds are the focus with the DSTB, so it is larger. Rather than using a large white dial, the seconds display is a sapphire ring that has printed markers. The strap is available in both black and brown.

Black Guilloché Dial Arnold Son TEC1 Palladium Replica Watch

At Baselworld 2014, Arnold  Son TEC1 Palladium Replica Watch, which was the first time a company had ever put a chronograph, tourbillon, and automatic winding in one watch. This year, while the design has been minimally changed, gives new life to the design. The watch has a 45mm palladium case. Picture This new reference under the Arnold  Son TEC1 Replica collection is exquisite. Want to find out more? The new watch, whose name is rather long and therefore I will not mention, has just been announced by Arnold & Son, a Swiss manufacturer well-known for their heritage. The dial and strap are black, giving the watch a monotone look. In fact, the only color on the front of the watch (barring any reflection that may occur) is the jewel above the tourbillon. Every other visible component is either black or polished palladium. Picture Picture Picture

The guilloché dial covers the A&S8305 calibre, an exclusive selfwinding movement that displays the hours, minutes, but also has a tourbillon and a chronograph. This watch truly represents haute arnold & son replica with elaborate decoration, dual winding, a column-wheel chronograph, high-frequency tourbillon, and a tourbillon with a large three-dimensional display.

Best arnold and son ctb chronograph replica watch

The only difference being that the Best arnold and son ctb chronograph replica watch is a mechanical watch with the A&S7103 beating away at 28,800BPH. Besides the beat rate, the 7103 is an automatic movement with 31 jewels and a maximum power reserve of 50 hours. In true Haute Horologie style the watch has many different finishes including hand-chamfered bridges and polished edges, fine circular graining, Côtes de Genève rayonnantes, circular satin-finished wheels, screws with bevelled and mirror-polished heads, and the rotor is skeletonized with brushed surfaces.

Picture Here it is, the one to rule them all. This is the new arnold and son replica stands for Chronograph True Beat. This is their third new watch (in 2014) to feature a true beat system. The other two were the DSTB (for Baselworld) and the TB Victory (for Britain’s National Museum of the Royal Navy). However, the CTB has something the others don’t; a chronograph.

Picture

The layout of a true-beat system from the DSTB A true beat system is perhaps the most difficult complication to successfully create. In a nutshell it causes the second hand to move like it was a quartz watch.
Picture

The CTB features a 44mm stainless steel case arnold and son replica watches and a light-gray/silvery opaline dial. There’s no picture but it does have an exhibition case back. Last but certainly not least this is the first watch in the world to feature a chronograph with a central true beat seconds hand. The price on this watch, without the 8% VAT is 23,800 CHF which translates to approximately $27,000 USD. Watch out A. Lange and Sohne, Arnold and Son is coming!

Another new High Quality Arnold and Son Replica Watch

Honoring the brand’s commitment to exclusivity, this High Quality Arnold and Son Replica Watch will be a limited edition of just 50 pieces. Due to the limited production and complicated movement the watch can be bought for 44‘928 CHF which translate to approximately $51,500. Picture

Arnold son has already released a number of great watches for their 250th anniversary year but I have to say this may be the best Arnold and Son Replica Watch yet.  Picture

The true beat system of this watch is on display to the wearer This watch has a true beat system which can also be found in their TB Victory watch. The only difference between the two is that with the DSTB, the true beat system is on display. This is acknowledged in the name, DSTB which stands for Dial Side True Beat. This watch once again acknowledges their 250th anniversary. It is their third watch to do this so far this year (the DSTB, the DTE, and the TEC1).

Picture

The 43.5mm 18 carat red gold case houses the A&S6003. This movement has 229 parts all meticulously finished in true Haute Horologie style. Picture

To see all the watches I have covered for Baselworld including the 3 releases from Arnold and Son visit the Baselworld 2014 Releases page on my website. Baselworld is coming up fast and I cannot wait to see what other watches it will hold in store.

The layout out the true beat system in the Arnold and Son Replica and son went astray from the commonly used dial design this year. In almost every single on of their new watches for Baselworld 2014 there is an off-center subdial displaying the time, or in some cases there are even two.

Best Arnold and Son Time Pyramid in Steel Replica Watch

It uses two barrels Best Arnold and Son Time Pyramid in Steel Replica Watch and has a power reserve of 90 hours. At this point you may or may not be asking, how do they do that?, because 90 hours is a long time to be powered by just two barrels. So how does the watch work? As one barrel runs down, it winds the other up in order to keep the watch running. It is really an ingenious system that should not be overlooked as unimportant.

Picture Arnold and Son Replica Watch isn’t done yet. The Time Pyramid watches, which were originally released in gold, now will be available in a steel version. Using the A&S1615 caliber made out of NAC gray stainless steel it will have the same functions the original watch, but with a completely new look. The 44.6mm holds the movement which has a number of interesting features. Great looking watch… Picture Front and back of the A&S1615 Picture This is such a gorgeous movement… Picture Picture

The Arnold and Son Replica, although it is a dress watch, will still display the time in the dark thanks to superluminova (BG-W9 I assume) filling on the hands. The Arnold and Son Time Pyramid in Steel is available for, brace yourself, $29,850. However, there aren’t any other negative points to be made about the watch besides that one. More pictures of the watch can be found below.

Another New Watch: Arnold & Son Replica Watch

In addition Arnold & Son Replica Watch also has 2 barrels to provide a power reserve of up to 90 hours (wound from the crown at 2 o’clock). The movement is basically on full display to the wearer because the decorated surface on which the two “dials” sit is actually the plate. So this watch does not have a dial, but uses the movement instead.

Picture

Arnold and Son has already announced a number of new Arnold & Son Replica  for Baselworld 2014 including a steel version of the Time Pyramid and the TEC1. Now they have just released information about the DTE (Double Tourbillon Escapement). This watch, like the TEC1, commemorates the 250th anniversary of the brand, which was originally founded in 1764.

Picture

Unlike most watches, the dial of the DTE is completely symmetrical and the case is pretty darn close too. The A&S8513 is basically two movements displaying two separate time zones, each with their own gear train and tourbillon escapement.Picture

The case is 43.5mm in diameter and crafted completely out of elegant 18-carat red gold. It does have an exhibition caseback. However, unlike most exhibition case backs, there is no balance wheel ticking away, these are clearly displayed on the front of the watch. Below is a side-by-side comparison picture.  Arnold & Son DTE  Picture MB&F Legacy Machine 2 Picture Despite the similarities between the two watches, the Arnold and Son still has a number of improvements to the overall design including tourbillons, dual time zone displays, etc. Since there will be only 28 pieces in the world, the price on the DTE is $210,000. Arnold and Son’s designers have done an outstanding job this year and I hope to see a few more watches from them before March 27th.

Like many other watches for Baselworld this year it is a limited edition and when they say limited, they mean it. There will be only 28 pieces ever sold. The only negative thing I can say about this watch is that the design isn’t all original. Last year MB&F released the Legacy Machine 2, which had the same sort of dial layout and crown position as the DTE. Of course, the DTE has tourbillons instead of balance wheels, two dials and two crowns, but the similarities are still there.

Best Quality Arnold and Son Royal Collection TEC1 Replica Watch

The case of the first Best Quality Arnold and Son Royal Collection TEC1 Replica Watch is crafted out of the same material as the TEC1, rose gold. The 45mm case has a thin bezel, which will make the watch appear even larger than the size would suggest. A strange feature found on this watch is the lack of a running seconds hand. The central hand is part of the chronograph (which does have a visible column wheel, if I may add), as is the subdial at 6 o’clock (which is a 60 minute counter). However, the high-frequency tourbillon that beats at 28,800 BPH has an escape wheel that, if needed, could serve this function. Like other Arnold and Son watches, the 255-part, 30-jewel A&S8305 caliber is completely palladium plated and elaborately finished with brushed surfaces and hand-chamfered polished edges.

Picture

The Arnold and Son Replica Watch is dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the brand. Therefore it is proper that the watch includes three features the brand has never put in the same timepiece: automatic winding, a chronograph, and a tourbillon. With Baselworld just over a month away, companies are all announcing their new models for 2014. Arnold and Son is no exception. They are, perhaps, most well known for their Time Pyramid models, which was originally released at Baselworld 2013.

The bi-directional skeletonized Arnold and Son Replica rotor will not block your view of this piece of art while keeping the watch running, not that it needs it with a power reserve of 55 hours. As with the other members of the Royal Collection, its design is inspired by the timepieces crafted by John Arnold for King George II and the other members of the royal court. The watch will be viewable at the A&S booth at Baselworld 2014 and it is sure to have a warm welcome given the design, movement and history of the brand. 250 years is a long time, eh?
