Arnold & Son Unveils a Stunning One-of-a-Kind Timepiece
Arnold & Son has introduced a unique, one-of-a-kind timepiece to its Double Tourbillon collection. This watch boldly showcases the brand's dedication to exploring rare materials. It boasts a Baltic amber dial in a polished white gold case that exudes sophistication and luxury. The warm, moiré yellow amber dial, paired with twin tourbillons and white opal hour dials, creates a visually striking and texturally balanced aesthetic.
The amber used is a fossilized resin from plants that grew on the Baltic Sea coast around 44 million years ago. Unlike the common translucent orange amber, Baltic amber has a creamy appearance and a range of colors. Over time, exposure to sunlight will alter its shade, adding a dynamic element to each one-of-a-kind timepiece.
The Double Tourbillon White Gold model honors John Arnold's historical contributions to chronometry and world time. It features two independent dials — one for local time at 12 o'clock and another for a second time zone at 6 o'clock.
