Another double tourbillon, this Arnold & Son Double Tourbillon White Gold Charoite Edition brings a new color to these ultra-limited editions. As each color, imperial jade, malachite and Baltic amber of this model so far is a unique piece. Well, it’s a unique watch too, as you kind of get two watches for the price of one.
The color here is Parma violet, or mauve, or lavender, or lilac, or shifting shades of purple. It’s called charoite and comes from the color of a rare silicate mineral first found in Siberia and named after a river there. Which A&S have delicately cut into a slice to use as a dial.
Second time zone offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes
As the watch displays two times on the two opal sub dials, each operated by its own crown, it is a great travel watch. If you forget the price, that is. Where regular watches can show a second time zone offset by an hour, this Double Tourbillon can display the time in zones offset by 15, 30 or 45 minutes.
The two dials are completely independent, with their own technical gear, like a tourbillon, barrel and more. So, the movement inside is a work of art by itself.
