TOURBILLON ESCAPEMENT SAPPHIRE

What sets the TES apart is the contemporary design inspired from John Arnold's movements. The barrel bridge for instance has the traditional English wave-form but is made from sapphire to allow a maximum view on the open-worked barrel and wheels. The tourbillon and motion-work bridges are classically triangular but are skeletonised. The combination of sapphire and open-worked bridges gives an incredible depth and three-dimensional to this 28-piece limited edition. The decoration of the main plate is a reminiscence of a guilloché pattern found on antique Arnold’s pocket watches.
