Arnold & Son Double Tourbillon Red Gold

The Advent of Grandes Complications

Amongst the collections under Arnold & Son, one collection holds the distinction of being unique, The Grandes Complications. The Arnold & Son Grandes Complications collection is an amalgamation of various limited edition timepieces celebrating the Grandeur of Arnold & Son. Be it the Double Tourbillon in Jade and Red Gold or the Constant Force Tourbillon, the timepieces were deployed under different collections. With the reshuffling of the collections, it was needed that Arnold & Son preserved the unique and complicated timepieces that were important to their heritage. This is where the idea of Grandes Complications came in.

Features

Under the Arnold & Son Grandes Complications collection, the Double Tourbillon series is fitted with two dials placed at 12 and 6 o’clock. Whereas, the two tourbillons are set at 3 and 9 o’clock markers. The sub-dial of the Double Tourbillon is white lacquered and placed over a dial made of rare materials like Jadestone in some timepieces. Inside the Constant Force Tourbillon series, the small seconds are placed between the 7 and 8 o’clock marker and the tourbillon is fitted between the 4 and 5 o’clock marker. Whereas, with the Tourbillon Escapement Sapphire, the tourbillon is fixed at 6 o’clock.
