Encased in this precious housing, Arnold & Son’s flying tourbillon stands out for its finesse and precision.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
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.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
On both the Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton Red Gold and Platinum, the bridges are treated with rose-gold PVD (4N) after being decorated with radiating Côtes de Genève stripes.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
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.
Golden carriage
At the heart of Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton beats the A&S8320 calibre, whose architecture and slimness are its principal protagonists. Designed without an upper bridge to minimise its thickness, the calibre is classed as a flying tourbillon.

The arrowhead on the staff of the escape wheel serves as a seconds pointer, as the carriage completes one rotation per minute.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.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
