Arnold & Son HMS1 Collection – New Models
This year, Swiss luxury watch brand Arnold & Son enhances their HMS1 collection with four new models. All models comes in 40 mm case and houses caliber A&S1001, a manufacture hand-wound movement which is only 2.7 mm thick. Immediately one notices the two barrels providing 80 hours power reserve.
Whereas most watches in this segment of the market only provide a single barrel, the solution of having two barrels provides more constant power and more constant force, which will result in improved accuracy, something important for Arnold & Son.
With further details such as hand angling and decoration of all bridges and fine hand stitching on the alligator leather strap, the HMS1 line is a true modern expression of the traditional search for precision combined with superior craftsmanship that Arnold & Son has always pursued.
