Arnold & Son adds precise setting to the DSTB’s visible ticking seconds

Arnold & Son has added a stop-seconds function to its DSTB, allowing the wearer to halt the seconds hand by pulling the crown and synchronise the watch precisely. The mechanism retains the collection’s distinctive dial-side display: its seconds hand advances in individual steps while the operating components remain visible.

Two editions pair a 42mm precious-metal case with a grained dial: red gold with Cliff Grey, and platinum with Kingsand. Each is limited to 18 pieces. The automatic A&S6303 movement supplies a 55-hour power reserve and runs at 4Hz. Hours and minutes appear on a separate white opal subdial, leaving much of the dial available for the true-seconds mechanism.
