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.

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.

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.

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.
