Description
This remarkable time instrument is as ingenious as atypical. The great innovation of the imposing Dead Beat is the combination of the advanced technique of a tourbillon with a unique dead beat central grand second. This revolutionary characteristic enables precision in time reading as it was used by John Arnold and Royal Navy navigators.The dead beat mechanism held by a central bridge in a distinctive Celtic Axe shape is a pure English style construction reflecting a deep concern for British heritage perpetuation.Adding a tourbillon makes the link between Arnolds initiatory skills and modern times technique.This best quality tourbillon is a remarkable tribute to John Arnolds former achievement especially his famous marine chronometer.
