Horological Meandering

Can't keep this one off my wrist because I find it so stunning. Arnold and Son makes some terrific watches, and since I was missing a skeleton-type watch for my collection, this one more than fit the bill ......  

Congrats! Fx

It is a modern interpretation of John Arnold's marine chronometer from almost 250 years ago. It has a 100 power reserve, with a true beat seconds hand, and 11 millimeter wide balance wheel. Although it doesn't offer many features it is a delight to observ... 

. . . for jazz; it takes a special sort of acumen. Assuming there were others, which skeletons were passed over on the way to this one? Art

Breguet La Tradition 7097, Frank Muller 7 days power reserve skeleton and Roger Dubois automatic skeleton. But the TB88 was the cleanest design for a skeleton, plus I really appreciated its heritage.

The symmetry achieved by the two barrels, the balance wheel and the seconds subdial speaks highly of the movement designers. Arnold & Son has released some impressive designs over these past few years and the prices asked do not seem to be outrageous.... 

I especially love the symmetrical layout and the dead beat seconds complication of this watch. Congratulations
