“Inspired by the regulators created by John and Roger Arnold over two hundred years ago, and by antique British skeleton clocks, the new Arnold & Son exclusive mechanical Caliber A&S1615 was conceived of, designed and developed in-house at the company’s La Chaux-de-Fonds workshops, Switzerland.

To reflect the spirit of the brand’s rich history, yet with a vigilant eye to the future, Arnold & Son has created a highly cohesive and seductive blend of watchmaking feats in this timepiece that includes regulator, skeleton, vertical linear movement, pyramid placement of components and multi-dimensional depth. The Time Pyramid is part of the Instrument Collection, wherein timepieces are easily identified by their sophisticated dial designs, off-centered hours and minutes indication and visual display of complexities.”

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds and a double power reserve indication. The dial is in sapphire with a circular satin-finished dial frame with chamfered and polished edge. The case is in 18K red gold and is 44.6 mm in diameter with a cambered sapphire with glareproofing on both sides and a see-through case back. Hand-stitched brown or black alligator leather. Water-resistance is 30 meters. (Ref. 1TPAR.S01A.C124A)
