Lot Essay
Inspired by the regulators created by John and Roger Arnold over two hundred years ago and by antique British skeleton clocks, the Arnold & Son Time Pyramid offers a highly cohesive and seductive blend of watchmaking feats that includes regulator, skeleton, vertical linear movement, pyramid-placement of components and multi-dimensional depth.
For the unique Time Pyramid Only Watch 2017, the entire timepiece is given a bold, contemporary execution. The stainless steel case is given a black DLC treatment, while the skeletonized and symmetrical calibre A&S1615 receives a black ADLC coating, offering a
striking contrast against traditional haute horlogerie hand-applied finishing and decoration.
Further highlighting the unique execution of the Time Pyramid Only Watch 2017 are the red accents throughout, adding a vibrant touch to the blacked-out timepiece and recalling the Principality of Monaco’s official color. The hands of the two power reserve indicators (one per barrel) are painted red, as are the hour and minute hands and Roman numerals on the sapphire dial. The anthracite alligator strap adds the final touch with its red stitching.
