Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton Red Gold

With its graceful curves and wide apertures, Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton also stands out for its slimness.

Limited to 28 pieces.

The finesse of curves

The A&S8320 calibre unveils its curves, apertures and details within a 41.5 mm case red gold (5N), released in a run of 28 timepieces. Encased in this precious housing, Arnold & Son’s flying tourbillon stands out for its finesse and precision.

Finesse, because at just 3.3 mm thick, it is one of the slimmest skeleton tourbillon calibres in existence. Precision, because this one-minute flying tourbillon is assembled with a variable-inertia balance for enhanced calibration stability.

Radiating originality

The purpose of a skeleton is to convey a message, be it geometric, generic or minimal. For Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton, the skeletonisation of the calibre reveals pronounced curves and numerous inflection points that are highlighted by an original finish. On the Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton Red Gold, the bridges are treated with rose-gold PVD (4N) after being decorated with radiating Côtes de Genève stripes.

The flange around the calibre adopts this same finish, clearly revealing the Arnold & Son signature at 6 o’clock and enabling the off-centred white opal dial to be displayed in its purest form.

Performance reserve

The changes to the tourbillon carriage and regulating organ give the A&S8320 calibre a power reserve of 100 hours. While this is a larger power reserve than for standard tourbillons, particularly slim ones, it is entirely in line with the performance regularly achieved by Arnold & Son calibres.
