Symmetry and skeletonization are two traits that should come to mind whenever Arnold & Son is
mentioned, and the Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 is certainly no exception. Drawing inspiration
from the John Arnold pocket chronometer No. 1/36, which will mark its 240th anniversary in 2018,
the Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 is a commemorative creation leading up to the milestone year
for the historically significant John Arnold chronometer.
The John Arnold Chronometer No. 1/36 or "Arnold 36" as it is more commonly called was not only
the first pocket watch by John Arnold to use a larger movement with his "T" balance, but also the
first to be referred to as a "chronometer" for its superior timekeeping capabilities. In this respect,
the Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 is faithful, contemporary horological homage.
Following the classical codes of traditional English chronometer movements, the main pivoting
elements such as the wheels, barrels, the tourbillon, and others are each mounted on their own
bridge. The triangular, multilevel bridges (no less than thirteen) are mostly skeletonized, providing
a more contemporary sense of three-dimensional depth to the entire timepiece.
The tourbillon, a central element of this timepiece, is highlighted in a most magnificent manner.
Held by a skeletonized and mirror-polished top bridge, the one-minute tourbillon features a
typically Arnold & Son three-spoke design. Weighing mere fractions of a gram, the tourbillon cage
consists of no less than 58 components. Prominently positioned on the dial side, the tourbillon
can also be viewed from the back, thanks to an opening in the main plate. The same kind of
opening is made below the small seconds display, adding to the symmetry of the Tourbillon
Chronometer No. 36.
The apparent technical virtuosity of the Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 is not only a treat for the
eyes, as the watch is a COSC certified chronometer; something of a rare achievement for a
tourbillon-equipped timepiece.
The decorative haute horlogerie arts are also lavishly demonstrated in the Tourbillon Chronometer
No. 36. The entirely in-house conceived and manufactured A&S8600 calibre features a smooth
sand-blasted main plate and bridges with chamfered and polished edges. The main plate and
bridges are treated with a golden coating, echoing the aesthetics of the historical pocket watches
made by John Arnold. The main plate also is set with several mirror-polished 18k gold chatons,
while the wheels in the gear train are embellished with circular satin finishing with chamfered and
polished edges. Even the screws are bevelled and feature with mirror-polished heads.
