Today’s Haute Time Watch of the Day is the TB88 by Arnold & Son. This impressive creation from the Arnold & Son Royal Collection is a beautiful example of contemporary watch making, true to its classical roots.

The TB88 features a hand-finished A&S5003 caliber movement, manufactured by Arnold & Son. The mechanical hand-wound movement is complete with 32 jewels, and a 100 hour power reserve. Visible on the front side of the timepiece, the A&S5003 is made up of nickel-silver and black rithenium and carefully finished with the utmost detail and technique.

The 18-carat rose gold case measures 46mm and features cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The sapphire crystal also completes the case back exposing the other side of the movement.

Shown here on a black hand-stitched alligator leather strap, the TB88 by Arnold & Son is a modern tribute to a historical art form.
