Arnold & SonTime PyramidModel No: 1TPBR.T01A.C125A-G21A

A natural transition for the Arnold & Son Time Pyramid released in 2013 was its 2019 iteration—Time Pyramid Tourbillon. Introduced at Baselworld, the watch shares a similar look to its predecessor but comes graced with additional technical features, a few subtle design changes, and a new enhanced movement. It displays a sapphire crystal dial and case back, aiding an uninterrupted view of the movement that is distinctively designed in a vertical configuration with two mainspring barrels at the bottom of the dial and the tourbillon at noon, creating a pyramid.

This 18k rose gold model, ref. 1TPBR.T01A.C125A is 44.6mm in diameter, which is quite large but similar to the 2013 model. Another detail borrowed from the earlier version is the crown's placement at six between the lugs. The dial, fashioned in an openwork style, is a feast to the eyes. The off-centre minutes and hours subdial is set at the lower part of the dial with Roman numerals hour markers painted on a sapphire disc and is contoured by a rhodium-plated ring that displays minute dot markers. A set of blue skeleton hands helps read the time. Now, while the 2013 version had the seconds subdial placed beneath the hours and minutes one here, it is merged with the one-minute tourbillon at noon, featuring a 20-second scale on the outer rim. In addition, the serpentine hands indicating power reserve at three and nine o'clock in the original model have been replaced with simple skeleton hands on this reference. The two power reserve indicators accord to two mainspring barrels.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
