Can there be a more restrictive ‘canvas” for an artist, much less a sculptor than the dial of a timepiece" The mother-of-pearl dial of Arnold & Son Ultrathin Tourbillon Koi and its delicately placed hand-painted carp and sculpted lotuses surrounding a flying tourbillon, would certainly prove a challenge but not one that would stymie the Citizen Group’s Swiss brand: Arnold & Son presents the Ultrathin Tourbillon Koi, a delicate unique piece that blends fine watchmaking and the artistic crafts. Arnold & Son perpetuates the legacy of 18th century English watchmaker John Arnold, a contemporary of Breguet in the pioneering field of marine chronometers and precision tourbillon escapements. The ultrathin A&S8200 tourbillon movement is among the twenty calibres presented to date by Arnold & Son to have been conceived, developed, and decorated by sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. Moving into the creation of bespoke commissions, the creativity of the House is best exemplified in the Ultrathin Tourbillon Koi.
