Arnold & Son's Skeleton Tourbillon
Arnold & Son, known for its symmetrical design, skeletonized movement, and meticulous finishing, presents the UTTE Skeleton, which houses a tourbillon movement in a slim case measuring just 8.34mm thick.
Based on the UTTE, which was renowned as the world's thinnest tourbillon watch when it was released in 2014, the movement, which was originally just 2.97mm thin, has been redesigned to be strong enough to withstand the weight reduction. The increase in movement thickness has been kept to just 0.33mm, and the chamfered edges that increase with the skeletonization have also been carefully finished.
Enjoy the beautiful 4K images of the UTTE skeleton, which combines Arnold & Son's unique ideas with the solid technical capabilities that make them a reality.

Introduction model overview
Manual-winding (Cal. A&S8220). 29 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 90 hours. Palladium (diameter 42mm, thickness 8.34mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Limited to 8 pieces worldwide. 775 million yen (excluding tax).
This thin tourbillon with a skeletonized dial was made possible by the company's policy of one caliber per model. After being released as a limited edition model in 2016, it disappeared from the market for a while, but was resurrected in 2019 in a limited quantity with a palladium case. The color of the plate and bridges is lighter to match the color of the case.
