Historical significance

Arnold & Son Globetrotter 40 mm Skeletonised Stainless sits within Arnold & Son's Globetrotter line, introduced in 2021. It carries the house codes established since 1764 — stainless steel case, skeletonised dial and in-house tourbillon, manual-winding — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
• Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
• The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
