TB88 Timepiece by Arnold & Son

The watch company Arnold & Son has pleased the fans with a novelty TB888. The letters “TB”, present in the model name, indicate “True Beat” - the complication in a mechanical watch. It is as follows: the second hand does not move smoothly visually, i.e. frequency of 6-8 movements per second, and jumps as on quartz watches - one jump per second. Most of the time the hand is in place, and when the seconds have passed, it jumps exactly one scale division. Otherwise, such a complication is called "dead seconds". It was popular in the 18-19 centuries and has been used in marine chronometers.
The new TB88 watch is available in two versions: in a case of 18 - carat pink gold or stainless steel. The case in both versions is round; its diameter is 46 mm. Water-resistant - 30 meters.
The skeletonized dial, showing the details of the mechanism, is equipped with central hour and minute hands. At the 7 o`clock position is a window with the second`s hand. An analog power reserve indicator is located at the 5 o`clock position. On the front side of the case and its back cover is installed a sapphire.
