Arnold & Son Time Pyramid Watch Hands-On
Arnold & Son’s new Time Pyramid watch was debuted before Baselworld 2013 and I covered it here. Although I had seen images of the timepiece, it was on the short list of watches I was extremely eager to get my hands on at the Baselworld watch show. Inspired by the design of ornate clocks, the movement was a beautifully symmetrical mechanism with an open skeletonized design that emphasized aesthetic achievements as well as open views watch lovers and novices alike can enjoy with ease.Relatively thin, the wide case sits impressively flat on the dial.

Clerc Hydroscaph Limited Edition Chronograph Watches
This year sees three versions of the Clerc Hydroscaph Limited Edition Chronograph watch. This unique piece is attractive as well as functional.

I find the layout of it very enticing as it adds to the dial aesthetic as well as making the chronograph easier to read. I do want to say that this Clerc dial has been cleaned up some and the result is quite elegant. The design is almost artful in its approach to making a watch face more visually interesting. Legibility is maintained, and I love the hands – on all versions they stick out so well.
