Arnold & Son DSTB Stop-Seconds Platinum Kingsand
The Arnold & Son DSTB Stop-Seconds Platinum Kingsand brings the precision of historic marine chronometers to a distinctive contemporary luxury watch. Crafted in 950 platinum, its 42 mm case frames a grained dial with Kingsand PVD treatment and a concave white opal subdial, creating a striking contrast of texture and color. At the heart of the design is the rare true-seconds complication, which displays each second with the steady, precise rhythm associated with traditional chronometry. The additional stop-seconds function allows the seconds hand to halt when the crown is pulled, making it possible to synchronize the watch to an exact reference time. Inspired by the navigators who relied on marine chronometers to calculate longitude at sea, this sophisticated Arnold & Son timepiece celebrates the enduring relationship between precision timekeeping, exploration, and mechanical innovation. An ink-blue hand-stitched alligator leather strap and platinum pin buckle complete its distinguished appearance.

Inside, the Arnold & Son DSTB Stop-Seconds is powered by the Manufacture Calibre A&S6303, a mechanical movement developed, machined, assembled, and regulated at the Maison’s La Chaux-de-Fonds manufacture. Measuring 5.54 mm thick, the movement operates at 4 Hz and provides a 55-hour power reserve. Through the sapphire crystal caseback, the extensively openworked 22-carat gold oscillating weight reveals its guilloché decoration and historic anchor emblem, while traditional finishing details include radial Côtes de Genève bridges, hand-chamfered edges, blued screws, and a circular-grained main plate. The domed sapphire crystal features double-sided anti-reflective treatment for clear dial visibility, while the transparent caseback offers an additional perspective on the movement’s intricate construction. Combining a platinum case, true-seconds display, stop-seconds complication, and meticulously finished manufacture movement, the Arnold & Son DSTB Stop-Seconds Platinum is an exceptional Swiss luxury watch for collectors of precision chronographs, marine chronometer history, and distinctive haute horlogerie.
Also available in Red Gold.
