Horological Meandering

The Arnold & Son Golden Wheel

 

In this thread, I want to do two things:

  • Introduce the rarely seen Arnold & Son Golden Wheel
  • Compare it to four Audemars Piguet Starwheel watches also in rose gold

So, let's start by presenting Arnold & Son's take on the wandering hours complication.


A/ THE ARNOLD & SON GOLDEN WHEEL



It features a wandering hours display and a deadbeat (or "true beat") seconds complication and it is limited to 125 pieces.



The rose gold case measures 44 x 13.5 mm.











The top arc reaching from 10 to 2 on which the hours are running is made of mother-of-pearl.







The watch is powered by self-winding caliber A&S 6018

So, now that you've seen them all, what are your thoughts ?
