BaselWorld 2014: Dial Side True Beat (DSTB) by Arnold & Son

At the international exhibition BaselWorld 2014, the British watch brand Arnold & Son will officially unveil the gorgeous novelty Dial Side True Beat (DSTB) (Ref. 1ATAR.L01A.C120A), which released in a limited edition - 50 items.
The watch, issued in honor of the 250th anniversary of the brand, is characterized by the presence of the automatic mechanism and the anchor, laid out on the dial. Last time the company emphasizes the link with the British navy, which in the XVIII-XIX centuries, the company successfully sold marine chronometers with complication "dead seconds” (“True Beat”). This complication is that the second hand does not move smoothly visually, i.e. with a frequency of 6-8 movements per second, but jumps as a quartz clock - one jump per second. In this case most of the time the hand is in place and only when the second is almost gone, time jumps exactly one scale.
