Introducing Arnold & Son Unveils New Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton Timepieces

Red Gold and Platinum Editions for the Thinnest Collection in the Company

Swiss company Arnold & Son has expanded their remarkable Ultrathin Tourbillon collection with the unveiling of two new limited-edition timepieces: the Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton, available in Red Gold or Platinum. These exceptionally thin skeletonized ultrathin flying tourbillon watches, showcase one of the world's thinnest flying tourbillon movements. The collection was first introduced in 2013 and has since received considerable acclaim for its innovative design, technical excellence, and exquisite craftsmanship.

The new Arnold & Son Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton is distinguished by its incredibly slim profile, elegant curves, and generous apertures. Its newly designed case, measuring 41.5 mm in diameter and 8.4 mm in thickness, is available in either 5N red gold or PT 950 platinum.

The skeletonized dial embodies the collection's ethos of ultra-thin complexity, boasting an off-center white opal dial adorned with printed Roman hour indices and blued hands for minutes and hours. Both editions feature rose gold bridges and main plates with PVD treatment , adding a luxurious touch to these exquisite timepieces. while the wheels are circular satin-finished, Côtes de Genève stripes radiating from the center

Beneath the sapphire crystal case back lies the manual winding caliber A&S8320. Its refinement is evident in the caliber's ultra-slim construction, measuring a mere 3.3 mm in thickness, making it one of the slimmest skeleton tourbillon calibers available. The one-minute flying tourbillon showcases the caliber's precision, featuring a variable-inertia balance for improved calibration stability. Changes to the tourbillon carriage and regulating organ provide the A&S8320 caliber with a remarkable power reserve of 100 hours.

The 5N red gold model comes with a hand-stitched blue alligator leather strap, lined with black alligator leather, while the platinum model is accompanied by a hand-stitched brown alligator leather strap, also lined with black alligator leather. Both models feature a folding clasp in titanium with a buckle in 18K 5N red gold or platinum, respectively, and are offered in an exceptionally exclusive limited edition of only 28 pieces each.

The prices are CHF 74,400, equivalent to 310,000 AED, for the red gold edition, and CHF 86,200, equivalent to 344,000 AED, for the platinum edition.
