]]> H. Moser & Cie Opens First U.S. Brand Boutique in Silicon Valley at The Villa Menlo Park https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/h-moser-cie-opens-first-u-s-brand-boutique-in-silicon-valley-at-the-villa-menlo-park/ Sat, 01 Mar 2025 13:48:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=932281

H. Moser & Cie, the independently owned, small watchmaker gaining notice with collectors for its bold, unconventional design and mechanical ingenuity, has chosen Silicon Valley’s The Villa Menlo Park development as the site of the brand’s first U.S. watch boutique.

To mark this important milestone, H. Moser & Cie unveils its new boutique exclusive Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton timepiece to the world for the first time at the brand’s new Silicon Valley store, presented in partnership with Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry—now open at 500 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, California.

The Villa Menlo Park development realizes the vision set forth by Jared and Stephen Silver, longtime Bay Area retailers and pioneers in the independent watch category. They set out to create a new Silicon Valley cultural hub, with an emphasis on discovery, fine craftsmanship, quiet sophistication, and enriching, curated experiences. The new venue houses world-class dining and retail destinations, including the new H. Moser & Cie boutique, reflecting the growing importance of the American market for the brand and the watchmaking industry as a whole.

The H. Moser & Cie boutique at The Villa Menlo Park offers visitors the opportunity to discover the watchmaker’s rare and remarkable timepieces in a resolutely modern environment. The brand’s first stand-alone U.S. retail boutique—its fourth worldwide—artfully interprets both the brand’s philosophy and its traditional watchmaking craft through a refined, minimalist lens.

The interior exhibits understated lines, refined industrial materials, and carefully composed lighting, inviting watch lovers to rediscover the very essence of the watchmaker’s art, stripped of any artifice. Within its walls, boutique visitors will discover one of the world’s largest selections of rare H. Moser & Cie timepieces in a single location, including the new boutique exclusive Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton timepiece, one of only seventeen such timepieces available in the world.

Edouard Meylan, H. Moser & CEO, says : “The opening of our boutique in the San Francisco Bay Area marks a key milestone in our international development strategy. This iconic region, synonymous with innovation and creativity, perfectly embodies the values that drive H. Moser & Cie.: boldness, a pioneering spirit, and a passion for artisanal excellence.”

We could not be happier than to have the presence of H. Moser & Cie. at The Villa Menlo Park. The brand is one of the most important forces in modern watch design and a flag bearer for independent watchmaking,” says Jared Silver, President of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, and a key driver of The Villa Menlo Park development. “H. Moser is rapidly growing its base of collectors in Silicon Valley, and now they will have an immersive home to experience the many different aspects of the company.”

Introducing the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Exclusive Edition

To mark this milestone occasion, H. Moser & Cie. unveils a boutique exclusive version of its Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton – revealed to the world first at the brand’s new Silicon Valley boutique. The limited edition of seventeen timepieces was designed to offer unrivalled mechanical excellence and a unique visual experience – and marks a new step in the manufacture’s quest for perfection. Limited to the brand’s own boutiques and Moserland concepts, this yellow gold timepiece elevates the contemporary fluid aesthetic of the Streamliner collection whilst embodying the very essence of minimalism in the watchmaker’s art.

One of the most striking characteristics of this piece is its transparency, and perfectly symmetrical design. Faithful to its philosophy of “remove to better reveal”, H. Moser & Cie. has skeletonized every component, eliminating any superfluous material to enhance the stark, fascinating beauty of the mechanism. The skeletonization process results in a refined, luminous piece, highly transparent with incredible depth that reveals all the beauty of the watch mechanism, usually hidden from view. The barrel, which has also been hollowed out, offers a view of the spring, allowing the wearer to check that it is wound correctly. You can even see through the watch to the solid gold rotor, which has also been skeletonized. Particular attention has been paid to symmetry, ensuring the proportions are perfectly balanced. The minimalist finishes are modern, adorning the anthracite main plate and bridges with drawn strokes combined with precise beveling.

At the heart of this timepiece is a one-minute flying tourbillon which seems to float weightlessly, driven by the caliber HMC 814, an automatic movement equipped with a Straumann® double hairspring, designed, and produced in-house by Precision Engineering AG. This innovation reduces friction and increases accuracy, ensuring a perfect symbiosis between aesthetics and technical performance.

The 40 mm cushion case and its integrated bracelet are both made from yellow gold and echo the signature ergonomic curves of the Streamliner collection. This pairing ensures optimal comfort and a fluid design which sits perfectly on the wrist. With this exclusive model, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Edition in yellow gold stands as a bold declaration of style, aimed at knowledgeable watch lovers who are seeking the perfect union between form and function.

Discover this rare timepiece — one of only seventeen in the world — and more at the H. Moser & Cie. Menlo Park boutique on the ground floor of The Villa Menlo Park, located at 500 El Camino Real, in Menlo Park, California.

The store is open to the public and by private appointment, Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

]]> Arnold & Son Unveils Two New Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold Timepieces at Geneva Watch Days Event https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/arnold-son-unveils-two-new-perpetual-moon-38-red-gold-timepieces-at-geneva-watch-days-event/ Thu, 29 Aug 2024 18:40:07 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931250

Arnold & Son welcomes two new dial variations to the Perpetual Moon 38 collection.  The Swiss watchmaker revealed the two new limited-edition moon phase timepiece models at Geneva Watch Days – including a limited edition of 88 pieces in blue aventurine glass and a 28-piece limited edition in sunray brushed grey. With these new designs, Arnold & Son exhibits its mastery of color, its sense of texture, and its taste for premium materials, telling a nocturnal narrative that brings together the grey of a cliff, the iridescent white of the moon, the inky black blue of a starry sky, and the precise astronomical moon phase of the A&S1612 caliber.

From the outset, Perpetual Moon 38 was destined to become a full-fledged collection. While distinct from its larger 41.5 mm diameter Perpetual Moon cousin, the 38 mm model shares the unwavering quality, precision, and high-level finish associated with the Arnold & Son name.

Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 10.44 mm thick, the Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold case is brought to life from a block of red gold (5N). Its bezel, four lugs, and crown are polished, shining under the cold light of the moon. The blue aventurine dial, constellated with metallic particles, blends into a celestial vault sculpted from the same glass. The “cliff grey” dial, in a warm, sunray-brushed grey, boasts an ever-shifting moiré effect under a grained matte midnight blue sky.  

These two limited editions of Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold are home to a huge moon phase: a luminescent disc of mother-of-pearl illuminates the sky, framed by the constellations of Cassiopeia and Ursa Major.  

A 38 MM PICTURE OF PRECISION

Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold transposes stringent watchmaking requirements of Arnold & Son into a smaller, more slender case. The Arnold & Son Swiss manufacturer has designed an entirely new caliber, the smallest in its collection, and dedicated it to Perpetual Moon 38.

At 30 mm, the A&S1612 caliber has been sized to fit the diameter of the case. The hand-wound movement continues Arnold & Son’s tradition of calibers with long power reserves, reaching up to 90 hours.  

WAXING MOON, WANING MOON

The star complication of the A&S1612 caliber is its moon phase. Perpetual Moon 38 showcases a large moon disc. The different crescents occupy the large aperture between 10 and 2 o’clock, with the form of their cut-out faithfully recreating the appearance of the moon.  

True to its tradition of precision watchmaking, Arnold & Son has given this moon phase an accuracy of 122 years. Continuously rising, it will take more than a century for this moon to lag one day behind the real one in our skies.  

About Arnold & Son

Arnold & Son eschews commonly expected conventions to create singular collections imbued with English heritage. It thus unites the exacting standards of Swiss watchmaking with a unique aesthetic.

Arnold & Son is named after John Arnold, a renowned English watchmaker of the 18th century. The golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry, and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art, and their genius.

This is how these three dimensions – Astronomy, Chronometry and World Time – have come to be embodied in the House’s contemporary timepieces. Echoes of John Arnold’s inventions and preoccupations, these principles represent the foundations on which the Arnold & Son collections are based. The twenty-plus calibers presented to date by Arnold & Son have all been designed and developed in-house and produced by its sister manufacturer, La Joux-Perret in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland). This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.

EXCLUSIVITY

Arnold & Son’s collections are produced in limited series and distributed worldwide through carefully selected retail partners. 

HERITAGE

As a renowned watchmaker, John Arnold produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century. He won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. He filed many patents as an inventor, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance spiral and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves. Arnold also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, many of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.

AUTHENTICITY

A fine watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold & Son has based its identity on its ability to produce great watchmaking complications linked to John Arnold’s heritage and based on three principles: Astronomy, Chronometry and World Time. These complications include tourbillon, true seconds, dual time zones and moon phase. Lastly, the long-lasting power reserves pay homage to Arnold’s marine chronometers, which also benefit from impressive autonomy. Arnold & Son’s twenty or so calibres have been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled, and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence demonstrates the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.

AESTHETICS

Arnold & Son is known for its timepieces with a unique style that can be easily recognized. The movements’ architecture, the continuous pursuit of multiaxial symmetry, and the skillfully crafted dials, often featuring rare gemstones and minerals, are all in line with the brand’s manufactured calibers, ranging from a single barrel to the full range of grande complication calibers.

]]> Ritmo Mundo Reveals New Pegasus Tourbillon – the Brand’s First Ever Tourbillon Model https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/ritmo-mundo-reveals-new-pegasus-tourbillon-the-brands-first-ever-tourbillon-model/ Mon, 26 Aug 2024 19:13:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931271

Compelling Style, Performance, and Value Unite in New Ritmo Mundo Pegasus Tourbillon, One of the World’s Most Affordable Tourbillon Watches Equipped with a Sapphire Crystal Case.

American watch brand Ritmo Mundo has introduced a new tourbillon complication to its Pegasus Collection – the first tourbillon watch model ever released by Ritmo Mundo in the brand’s 22 – year history. The crystal-clear tourbillon watch also upgrades the Pegasus models with a new, full synthetic sapphire crystal case top, designed to take the Pegasus watch collection to even greater heights. The Ritmo Mundo Pegasus Tourbillon retails for $12,900 USD, making it one of the most attainable sapphire case tourbillon watches on the global watch market today.

When Ritmo Mundo revealed the first Pegasus three-hand automatic watch model in February of 2024, the move signaled the L.A.-based watch brand’s intention to step into a new chapter with daring innovations, a bold aesthetic, and elevated product offerings. The sporty and striking Pegasus Tourbillon, with its hand-built tourbillon and sapphire crystal case top, reaffirms the brand’s commitment to excellence, as Ritmo Mundo soars into a new era, leading with disruptive yet attainable watches designed to answer savvy modern collectors’ needs and desires.For those in search of the perfect starter tourbillon watch or edgy everyday timepiece, the Pegasus Tourbillon is a clear winner,” says Ritmo Mundo brand founder Ali Soltani, continuing: “The Ritmo Mundo Pegasus Tourbillon is for all the collectors who were priced out of the market. The Pegasus Tourbillon’s solid build, enticing value, striking design, and undisputed value finally bring that grail tourbillon sapphire watch within reach.”

A Clear Winner – Introducing the Pegasus Tourbillon

With the Pegasus Tourbillon, Ritmo Mundo revisits the eye-catching, beveled case design of the original Automatic model in a 42 mm format, while introducing two key upgrades. First, the Pegasus Tourbillon upgrades the transparent case top to full synthetic sapphire crystal. Secondly, the brand introduces the first-ever tourbillon movement in any Ritmo Mundo collection. The hand-assembled tourbillon movement, with its gold-plated barrel, offers a frequency of 28,800/hour, and a three-day, 72-hour power reserve.

The case bottom remains the ultra-durable and scratch-resistant transparent glass material first featured in the Pegasus automatic. This groundbreaking glass material still stands the test of durability, ranking 7 on the Mohs hardness scale – comparable to many precious, hard-wearing gemstones. The clear, exceptionally durable Pegasus case offers a panoramic view of the tourbillon movement as well as its mineral-reinforced glass mirror dial and metal dial ring, accented in a choice of turquoise, blue, or black. 

The timepiece’s elements are seamlessly assembled layer by layer, with the fully transparent sapphire crystal case top affixed to the mineral-reinforced glass mirror dial and separate transparent crystal case back below by means of stainless-steel screws. The ergonomically engineered case clocks in at 11.5 mm thick.

Built to Wear, Built to Last

Ethereal appearance aside, the durable, scratch-resistant Pegasus Tourbillon shines as an everyday watch. The watch’s luminous, pointer-style hands ensure legibility by day or night. It elevated detailing also includes a crystal crown and a fluorine rubber strap equipped with a 316L stainless steel clasp pin buckle clasp. Pegasus Tourbillon is also corrosion, mold, and moisture-resistant thanks to its sealed back cover, and its 3-day, 72-hour power reserve ensures it is long-wearing.

The Pegasus collection launch marks an inflection point for the long-established L.A.-based watch brand. The company has set its sights on the future and plans to archive much of the preexisting Ritmo Mundo product catalog to focus on modern, innovative, and attainable luxury timepiece collections – leading the way with Pegasus. 

According to Soltani, “The new Pegasus Tourbillon is a testament to Ritmo Mundo’s maturation and development after 22 years in business. As we look to the future – ‘Ritmo Mundo 2.0’ – we are committed to evolving and pushing the limits in our goal to make high-end watchmaking innovations and finishes more accessible.”

ABOUT ALI SOLTANI x Ritmo Mundo

Ritmo Mundo watch founder and luxury retail expert Ali Soltani has already lived many lives. Persian born,raised in Beverly Hills, California, and educated at UCLA and Loyola Law School, Soltani began his career as a lawyer specialized in business.

Soltani went on to help his family acquire and operate one of Rodeo Drive’s most venerable longtime luxury retailers, David Orgell – his success leading himto become one of the youngest Presidents of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce in the organization’s history.

Armed with hard-earned business prowess, an enviable network, and wealth of consumer insights gleaned working at one of North America’s leading luxury jewelry andwatch salons, Soltani was perfectly positioned to establish his own watch brand. And so, Ritmo Mundo was born.

Ritmo Mundo means the “rhythm of the world”– a fitting moniker for a global watch brand born in Hollywood and crafted in Switzerland and Italy. Ritmo Mundo is a result of Soltani’s vision to fill an untapped market niche that speaks to a new generation of informed watch lovers in search of compelling timepieces that offer innovation, quality, and value in equal measure.

The brand’s attractive range of fashion-forward products are designed with “watch wardrobing” in mind – offering consumers abroader range of attainable watch styling options to expand their timepiece wardrobes. The brand’s headquarters near the epicenter of Hollywood – together with Soltani’s extensive network off ormer clients and friends –quickly attracted a glittering array of star collectors and fans from the entertainment and sports world.

Old Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor inspired the design of the very first Ritmo Mundo watch, and she went on to become a loyal Ritmo Mundo client.

Other stars whose wrists have sported a Ritmo Mundo watchover the years have included Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Denzel Washington, Michael Strahan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Linsday Lohan, Quincy Jones, President Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Joel McHale, and Samuel L. Jackson, to name just a few.The brand’swatches havealso figuredprominently in film and television, including American Idol, CSI Miami, Snakes on aPlane, Ocean’s Thirteen, and many more.

Ritmo Mundo continues to evolve, refining its vision and purpose – as Soltani looks to stay one beat a head– not following trends, but making them. Soltani continues to be the creative forcebehind the brand, leading Ritmo Mundo into a new era with the Pegasus Collection –with many more new collections to be revealed.

]]> OMEGA will be present at the 37th America  ‘s Cup to cheer on Emirates Team New Zealand https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/omega-will-be-present-at-the-37th-america-s-cup-to-cheer-on-emirates-team-new-zealand/ https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/omega-will-be-present-at-the-37th-america-s-cup-to-cheer-on-emirates-team-new-zealand/#respond Wed, 21 Aug 2024 19:21:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931295 OMEGA will be present at the 37th America  ‘s Cup to cheer on Emirates Team New Zealand as they strive to defeat their rivals and retain the oldest international sporting trophy.

OMEGA’s partnership with the crew began 30 years ago, during the 1995 America’s Cup, when it collaborated with the legendary Sir Peter Blake, then captain of Team New Zealand.

For the brand with legendary precision, the timing was, once again, perfect: the New Zealanders won the trophy that year, and three times since, in 2000, 2017 and 2021.   

This partnership, which continues and evolves today, has inspired the creation and launch of some of OMEGA’s most impressive watches, such as the Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ Edition unveiled this year, which combines deep black with the vibrant turquoise of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo.

For OMEGA President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann, this relationship is a symbiotic one: “Winning a competition like the America’s Cup requires passion, focus, determination, teamwork and a willingness to embrace the most promising new technologies. These are qualities that we know well, and that are equally essential to watchmaking and sports timing. But beyond these values, we share above all a true friendship.”  

This year, the two opponents will compete on sailboats that literally have wings: high-tech AC75 monohulls that can exceed the crazy speed of 50 knots, or 100 km/h, thanks only to the power of the wind.

Sentiments echoed by Grant Dalton, Managing Director of America’s Cup Events and Emirates Team New Zealand: “To win, a crew needs to be supported by a united team. OMEGA has been an integral part of Team New Zealand for many years, through victory and defeat. We are delighted to be reuniting with the brand for this new adventure here in Barcelona, ​​and to try to make history by becoming the first to win the America’s Cup three times in a row.”

OMEGA is proud to support Emirates Team New Zealand and wishes the entire crew the best of luck in taking on this extraordinary and exciting challenge.

Quite literally, Armand “Mondo” Duplantis is an athlete at the top of his sport. Not only is the Swedish pole vaulter the current World and Olympic champion, but on April 20th, he broke the World Record for an 8th time in his career – setting a new height of 6.24m.

For OMEGA, this extraordinary leap is the perfect moment to introduce a new Seamaster Aqua Terra inspired by the brand ambassador. Crafted in the blue and yellow colours of the Swedish flag, it features a number of exclusive details in celebration of Mondo’s achievements in athletics.

The 41 mm timepiece is presented in stainless steel and is worn on an integrated strap made from blue rubber with neat stitching in yellow, an OMEGA logo, and polished central links that beautifully complement the polished and brushed surfaces of the case.

On the dial, OMEGA has delivered a subtle twist to the signature Aqua Terra style. While the blue surface is given a traditional opaline finish with horizontal stripes, the unique tributes to Mondo include a Seamaster name and quarter hour numbers in yellow. Most notably, the varnished central seconds hand is also in yellow and is crafted with a pole vault inspired shape, featuring Super-LumiNova on top to represent the grip of the pole.

As precision has been critical throughout Mondo’s sporting journey, the watch is further equipped with a Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre, assuring the very height of accuracy, performance, and magnetic-resistance.

Armand Duplantis has been an OMEGA ambassador since 2020. In the four years since then, he has claimed multiple World and European Championships titles, and won his first Olympic Games gold medal in Tokyo. His progressive World Records show the unrelenting commitment he has to his sport, and prove there are always more boundaries to push.

As Official Timekeeper of the Diamond League, OMEGA was at the latest meet in April, proudly measuring the 6.24m jump that Mondo accomplished in Xiamen, China.

]]> Kross Studio Unveils 6 New House of the Dragon Timepiece Collector Sets https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/kross-studio-unveils-6-new-house-of-the-dragon-timepiece-collector-sets/ Mon, 17 Jun 2024 13:23:00 +0000 https://amilcarmagazine.com/?p=930904

Kross Studio Unveils Six New Timepiece Collector Sets Inspired by the Dragons of “House of the Dragon” HBO series.

Kross Studio, renowned for its innovative fusion of fantasy and haute horlogerie, proudly unveils new Collector Sets inspired by the awe-inspiring dragons of the acclaimed HBO series “House of the Dragon.” As the second season of the series premieres on June 16, these exquisite timepieces and dragon egg sculptures offer discerning collectors an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the mythical realm of Westeros. 

The six latest collector sets pay homage to Arrax, Silverwing, Moondancer, Seasmoke, Vermithor and Sunfyre, complementing and completing the dragon inspired series. Previous unique collector set editions from the Kross Studio x House of the Dragon collaboration were dedicated to Balerion (sold out), Viserion, Viserion Ice Dragon (sold out), Drogon (sold out), Rhaegal, Syrax, Caraxès (sold out), Meleys (sold out), Vaghar (sold out), and Vermax (sold out).

Each of the Collector Sets pays homage to a specific dragon from the “Game of Thrones” saga, capturing their unique essence and formidable presence. The main feature of each set is a mesmerizing central floating tourbillon watch, a masterpiece of horological engineering designed by Kross Studio’s founder Marco Tedeschi. The watch and its tourbillon, suspended beneath a sapphire crystal dome, reflects the distinct aesthetic codes of House Targaryen, from its 45mm grade 5 titanium case to its intricate movement.

Complementing the watch is a meticulously crafted dragon egg sculpture in resin and hand-painted by the renowned French workshop Leblon Delienne. Each egg, inspired by the appearance of its corresponding dragon, serves as a nest for the watch and adds an element of fantasy and intrigue to the collection.

“We are thrilled to unveil these new Collector Sets, which represent a culmination of our passion for horlogerie and our deep admiration for the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe,” said Marco Tedeschi. “Each piece is a testament to our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling, and we are confident that they will resonate with collectors and fans alike.”

The ultimate Targaryen-inspired timepiece

At the heart of the Game of Thrones Central Floating Tourbillon lies the innovative KS 7’005 movement, a testament to Kross Studio’s dedication to horological advancements. This movement features a world-first, manually wound floating central tourbillon, a mesmerizing complication that seems to defy gravity as it rotates within the watch. The peripheral hour display mechanism adds a touch of futuristic elegance, with hour markers positioned around the edge of the dial instead of the center. This innovative design, combined with the floating tourbillon, provides a captivating view of the intricate mechanics at play within the watch, blurring the lines between technical prowess and artistic expression.

KS 7’005 Caliber

The manual-winding patented floating central tourbillon is designed, crafted, and assembled in Kross Studio’s workshops. As a fundamental characteristic, the main functions of the movement, such as Its energy accumulation, regulation, display, and winding, are concentric and coaxial at the center of the watch. Therefore, the barrel and the regulator provide a power reserve of 120 hours with chronometric performance. This remarkable complication is a testament to the pinnacle of horological expertise, brought to life by the master artisans at Kross Studio Manufacture.

Floating in the skies

The cage of the central floating tourbillon is a visual marvel, marking a patented, world-first achievement. Like a dragon gliding across the heavens looking down from above, the floating central tourbillon’s suspension just below the sapphire crystal dome offers a breathtaking view of the inner workings of the watch beneath it. With the tourbillon and its fixed second wheel levitating above the movement and hands, the construction provides a never-before-seen perspective into the mesmerizing mechanics of the tourbillon. This innovative design feature provides the opportunity to fully admire this horological masterpiece from every angle.

Reading the time

The innovation of the KS 7’005 movement also lies in the peripheral hour display mechanism, achieved by a planetary gear system mounted on two ball bearings, freeing the tourbillon from any obstruction.

Valyrian steel

The watch’s design synthesizes key elements of the fantasy series and its renowned dragons, such as its dial, made of Damasteel®. Reminiscent of Valyrian steel, fans will recognize its striated appearance made up of multiple dark and shimmering layers. The Damascus steel used in the Dragon Central Tourbillon dial is crafted by Damasteel, the same foundry that forged the metal used in the HBO series’ swords.

“Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did” – Daemon Targaryen

The ergonomic, grade 5 titanium or 18-carat pink gold watch case imitates the scales of a dragon through intricate three-dimensional engraving. Furthermore, the Targaryen House sigil, depicting a three-headed dragon breathing flames, is also hand-engraved in the center of the titanium watch case back. Each case back is uniquely identified by the name of the singular dragon that inspired the collector’s set, with only one set dedicated to a single dragon.

“The Dance of the Dragons will soon begin.”

An inextricable, transcendent bond links the Targaryen house’s prestige and its dragons across ages, myth, and memory. As a symbol, for the Targaryens and the people of Westeros, dragons embody the ultimate power and loyalty and inspire awe and fascination. Kross Studio looked to these fearsome creatures’ origins, their eggs, to inspire the collector sets’ unique functional sculptures.

The Dragon Egg Functional Sculpture, designed by Marco Tedeschi, is produced in collaboration with the French workshop Leblon Delienne, long renowned for its incomparable expertise in crafting pop sculptures.

The design was carefully planned down to the smallest detail, inside and out. The outer shape of the eggs was created using a 3D scan of the TV show props. Each resin Dragon Egg has been painstakingly airbrushed and hand-painted to create a unique finish that is wholly individual, inspired by a single dragon.

The egg opens to serve as a nest for the Game of Thrones Central Floating Tourbillon or any timepiece of choice, which can be placed on a cushion supported by two towers inspired by the design of Dragonstone Castle, the ancestral seat of House Targaryen. The base of the stand features seven slots, one for each of the saga’s seven kingdoms. 

The Collection

At the intersection of Haute Horlogerie and fantastical realms, each Game of Thrones Collector Set embodies the essence of Kross Studio. The watch complication is contemporary, seamlessly blending form and function in a universe that captivates the imagination, providing enthusiasts with a unique immersion into the heart of Westeros.

Kross Studio Game of Thrones – House of the Dragon Collector Sets (from CHF 108’000) are available for individual sale at kross-studio.com or through official partners and select authorized retailers. The collection is composed of Balerion (sold out), Viserion, Viserion Ice Dragon (sold out), Drogon (sold out), Rhaegal, Syrax, Caraxès (sold out), Meleys (sold out), Vaghar (sold out), Vermax (sold out), Arrax, Silverwing, Moondancer, Seasmoke, Vermithor and Sunfyre Collector Set. Each Collector Set is a unique piece. 

Episodes of “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon” are available to stream on HBO Max and 4K Ultra HD digital purchase.

Arnold & Son Reveals New Ultrathin Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Timepieces in Red Gold and Platinum Ahead of Watches and Wonders, from April 9 to 15, 2024.

Swiss watchmaker Arnold & Son has revealed two new Ultrathin Skeleton timepiece models ahead of Watches and Wonders 2024.

The exceptionally thin skeletonized ultrathin flying tourbillon timepieces, offered in red gold and platinum, feature new cases measuring a mere 8.4 mm thick and 41.5 mm in diameter – and housing one of the world’s thinnest flying tourbillon movements.

ULTRATHIN TOURBILLON SKELETON RED GOLD

Arnold & Son continues its tour of the Ultrathin Tourbillon collection. The A&S8320 calibre unveils its curves, apertures and details within a 41.5 mm case in either red gold (5N) or platinum (PT 950), each released in a run of 28 timepieces. Encased in this precious housing, Arnold & Son’s flying tourbillon stands out for its finesse and precision.

  • FUNCTIONS : hours, minutes
  • CASE : 41.5 mm, 18-carat (5N) red gold
  • DIAL : white opal
  • STRAP : hand-stitched blue alligator leather with black alligator leather lining, folding clasp in titanium with cover in 18-carat (5N) red gold
  • WATER RESISTANCE : 30 meters
  • LIMITED EDITION : 28
  • REFERENCE : 1UTBR.Z01A.C246R

ULTRATHIN TOURBILLON SKELETON PLATINUM

Arnold & Son continues its tour of the Ultrathin Tourbillon collection. The A&S8320 calibre unveils its curves, apertures and details within a 41.5 mm case in either red gold (5N) or platinum (PT 950), each released in a run of 28 timepieces. Encased in this precious housing, Arnold & Son’s flying tourbillon stands out for its finesse and precision.

  • FUNCTIONS : hours, minutes
  • CASE : 41.5 mm, platinum (PT950)
  • DIAL : white opal
  • STRAP : hand-stitched brown alligator leather with black alligator leather lining, folding clasp in titanium with cover in platinum (PT 950)
  • WATER RESISTANCE : 30 meters
  • LIMITED EDITION : 28
  • REFERENCE : 1UTBX.Z01A.C245X

Arnold & Son combines performance, elegance and tradition. Each piece is the testimony of a story with a unique signature.

Rachel Joulia-Helou, editor-in-chief of AMILCAR MAGAZINE GROUP

THE FINESSE OF CURVES

The new Arnold & Son  Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton is defined by its ultra-slim profile and its graceful curves and wide apertures. Its new case, with a diameter of 41.5 mm and a thickness of 8.4 mm, presents the flying tourbillon caliber A&S8320 in its purest expression.

The Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton collection, adorned in red gold (5N) red gold or platinum (PT 950), is issued in two limited series featuring 28 watches apiece. Encased in this precious housing, Arnold & Son’s flying tourbillon stands out for its finesse and precision. 

Its finesse is revealed in the caliber’s ultra-slim profile. Measuring just 3.3 mm thick, it is one of the slimmest skeleton tourbillon calibers in existence. The one-minute flying tourbillon attests to the caliber’s precision, assembled with a variable-inertia balance for enhanced calibration stability. 

RADIATING ORIGINALITY

A skeletonized movement can convey a mood or a message – chaotic, orderly, geometric, or minimal. Here, elegance is the watchword. The curvilinear skeletonized caliber reveals pronounced arcs and numerous inflection points highlighted by an original finish. On both the Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton Red Gold and Platinum, the bridges are decorated with radiating Côtes de Genève stripes and treated with rose-gold PVD (4N).

The flange around the caliber adopts this same finish, clearly revealing the Arnold & Son signature at 6 o’clock and enabling the off-centered white opal dial to be displayed in its purest form. 
 

GOLDEN CARRIAGE

At the heart of Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton beats the A&S8320 caliber, whose elegant architecture and slim profile are its principal attributes. Designed without an upper bridge to minimize its thickness, the caliber is classed as a flying tourbillon. 

The variable-inertia balance with inertia blocks ensures more precise calibration over time. The slender triangular carriage is supported by a double arrow, which is actually a counterpoise. The arrowhead on the staff of the escape wheel serves as a seconds pointer, as the carriage completes one rotation per minute. 
 

PERFORMANCE RESERVE

The changes to the tourbillon carriage and regulating organ give the A&S8320 caliber a power reserve of 100 hours. While this is a larger power reserve than for standard tourbillons, particularly slim ones, it is entirely in line with the performance regularly achieved by Arnold & Son calibers. 

About Arnold & Son

Arnold & Son is named after John Arnold, a renowned English watchmaker of the 18th century. The golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry, and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art, and their genius.

This is how these three dimensions – Astronomy, Chronometry and World Time – have come to be embodied in the House’s contemporary timepieces. Echoes of John Arnold’s inventions and preoccupations, these principles represent the foundations on which the Arnold & Son collections are based. The twenty-plus calibers presented to date by Arnold & Son have all been designed and developed in-house and produced by its sister manufacturer, La Joux-Perret in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland). This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.
