About this watch

This is an especially rare and unusual complication from the ultra-prestigious and highly prized manufacture Arnold & Son, and in fact hails from the brand's most exclusive watch series, the Instrument collection. The DBG is a fascinating watch that is inspired by two historical masterpieces by John Roger Arnold, son of the legendary London watchmaker of the same name who, together with Breguet, invented watchmaking as we know it today.

The aim was to build a watch capable of showing two time zones simultaneously, with the ability to set quarter- or half-hour differences. This was a major technical problem for watchmakers, because the gearing in a movement does not allow completely independent adjustment. Arnold solved the issue by installing a second barrel, gear train and escapement, completely separate from the main movement. This is the same system used in this DBG, which has two symmetrically arranged mechanical halves, partially visible on the dial, as well as two main displays. The small subdial at 12 o'clock shows the two systems' equation of time.

This Arnold and Son has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history. All our watches have a 12-month warranty for your peace of mind.

I would highly recommend using Watchfinder. The service was excellent from initial enquiry through to sale. I was more than happy when the watch arrived as the photo's didn't do it justice. I would certainly use them again in the future, thanks to Richard Brockman for the excellent service.

Feature: 5 Open Dials
Posted 29/05/18
The beauty of a mechanical watch comes down to the movement ticking within, and for the most part it’s completely hidden from view. Even with a sapphire case back, it’s a shame to hide the mastery of this centuries-old technology from plain sight, and that’s a thought shared by watchmaker to King Louis XV, André Charles, who cut open his dials to expose the innards. Here are five open-dialled watches that continue the tradition.
