You might be asking, why there are two crowns ? Well, the Arnold & Son DTE watch brings back to life the long-lived tradition of the double-movements in the new, unique 21st century style. In this case, a two time zone indicators can be easily set apart thanks to the separate setting mechanisms. Each of these mechanisms has its own tourbillon escapement and the gear train. This makes the timepiece really efficient and decent in use. It features a minutes and hours of the local time, but it also indicates hours and minutes of a second time zone. Everything can be set separately, therefore affords the wearer to have always the precise time of the both local time and second time zones. The time is displayed by two blued minute and hour hands on both dials. The dial situated at 12 o’clock features the Roman numerals, where the dial at 6 o’clock is scaled with the Arabic numerals.

The multi-levelled dial giving the incredible depth impression is a thing that can’t be missed, when we talk about this watch. Some may say that such dial doesn’t match to the elegant piece, but when we set together this multi-levelled dial to the sophistication of the mechanical mastery – Double Tourbillon Escapement and the rest things building this watch, I think it completely fits in very well. But, it is the matter of each person’s taste.
