DESIGN TRIBUTE TO JOHN ARNOLD
The finesse and architecture of the calibre characterizes Ultrathin Tourbillon. The highest point of this movement rests on top of the tourbillon carriage, which features a variable inertia balance with inertia blocks for more stable calibration over time. The tourbillon carriage has been redesigned to reflect John Arnold’s role in marine exploration during the 18th century. Its triangular shape calls to mind a sextant, while its double-arrow counterpoise represents an anchor. The carriage completes a full rotation in one minute, and the point in the middle serves as a seconds marker.
TRADITIONAL HAND-ENGRAVING
The back of Ultrathin Tourbillon reveals a hand-engraved rear tourbillon bridge in yellow gold (3N) that matches the gear train and stands out from the appearance of the rest of the calibre. It offers a power reserve that lasts at least 100 hours, meeting the performance standards of Arnold & Son calibres.
