手工雕刻 ARNOLD & SON

手工雕刻是一种传统的艺术形式，它涉及使用过百件钢铁工具、以硬化钢製造的burins工具组合和其他特殊工具；经过切割、打造线条和纹理加工构建了整个图像或是在TE8陀飞轮特别版系列一般手工雕刻美丽的图案在的条夹板及主表盘的背面，使这枚经丰富雕饰的非凡的陀飞轮腕表更令人惊叹。

起源于 1764 年的 ARNOLD & SON 腕表品牌是收藏家和鉴赏家追逐的目标，它是稀缺的珍贵的不同一般的腕表。最优雅的複杂机芯；出色的制表匠约翰‧阿诺在这项出众的创新钟表製造中是其中一位积极参与及最非凡的伙伴之一。

手工雕刻

忠於英式制表和手艺传统，亚诺表揭开TE8陀飞轮特别版精湛工艺系列一，只有八枚专属的钟表。这枚亚诺表皇家系列的最新成员是集高雅和精致的英式风格和展示品牌传统在古典装饰艺术领域的实力。

每一枚TE8 陀飞轮特别版精湛工艺系列一都经由亚诺表的工匠手工雕刻，而为了此特别版更特别创造了一个由机芯的中心为开始，以复杂几何元素组成的全新图案；制作这枚傑作雕刻是特别艰苦，由於机芯是用德国银而不是平常的黄铜製造，所以硬度十足，雕刻大师须要十分注意不要滑掉工具，而且磨损度很高，所以必须勤加打磨工具。

这款独特的腕表将只生产8枚，在44 毫米的18k 玫瑰金表壳内装配的每一个机芯均设独立编号和手工雕刻。

 
独特设计

亚诺表TE8陀飞轮的机芯设计在其英伦风格的设计上犹显独特： 表盘上V波形切割的条夹板、陀飞轮、动力桥均是叁角形的，甚至叁辐轮圈亦散发独特的光晕。此外，亦可以在陀飞轮的笼框裹发现相同的叁幅设计。

与现今相对更传统的陀飞轮相比，TE8型号可以用"倒置"来形容，即是说大多数的技术元素和视觉上有趣的功能都呈现出在表盘上的，而传统的陀飞轮则通常会隐藏在表盘的背面；加上其他典型的英国的技术特性，即使是要求最严苛的手表鉴赏家亦会垂青。每一枚经细緻装饰的腕表均包括手工雕刻工艺，机芯由亚诺表的製表大师手工抛光边缘和倒角桥梁，从而为陀飞轮机芯加入更辉煌和具气质的装饰元素。

其外文报导如下：

This latest special edition to the Arnold & Son Royal Collection is an eloquent expression of elegance and sophistication in the inimitable English style and demonstrates the brand's traditional prowess in the classical decorative arts. The tourbillon movement, one of the most elegant complications in the world of horology, has played a crucial role in Arnold & Son's history. An exceptional watchmaker, John Arnold was an active participant in one of the most extraordinary partnerships in the world of innovative horology. Indeed, both he and A.-L. Breguet worked closely, sharing both their knowledge and passion. Evidence of their partnership is A.-L. Breguet's first ever tourbillon mounted in John Arnold's No. 11 movement, a watch that can be found today in London's British Museum.

Each single TE8 Tourbillon Special Edition Métiers d'Art I is hand-engraved by Arnold & Son's own master engraver, who went as far as to create a new engraving pattern solely for this special edition. This new pattern is composed of complex geometrical elements arising from the center of the movement. The engraving of this masterpiece is  actually painstaking as the movement is made of German Silver and not usual brass. Due to the hardness of German Silver, the engraver must pay great attention not to slip off and constantly sharpen his tools, as their wear and tear is very high.

Hand-engraving is a traditional art form that involves the use of hardened steel tools called burins in combination with other special tools. These create cuts, lines and texturing that build up entire images or, as in the case of the TE8 Tourbillon Special Edition I, a beautiful hand-engraved pattern on the barrel bridge and on the back of the main plate, bringing a breathtaking richness of detail to an already exceptional tourbillion timepiece.

The Arnold & Son's Tourbillon TE8 movement design is considered unique in it's "English" design: the dial is a ¾ wave-form cut-out on the barrel bridge, the tourbillon and motion-work bridges are triangular, and even the three-spoke wheels are shaped with a distinctive flare.  This same three-spoke design can also be found in the tourbillon cage as well.

When compared to more conventional tourbillons found today, the TE8 model is said to be "inverted", that is to say most technical elements and visually interesting features are shown on the dial side, when those would normally be hidden on the reverse of the dial. Other typically English technical idiosyncrasies will seduce even the most demanding watch connoisseurs.This unique timepiece will be produced in a limited edition of 8 timepieces, in a 44 mm 18-carat rose gold case with each movement, individually hand-engraved and numbered.

It goes without saying that every finishing touch on this striking piece, with such beautiful craftsmanship in the hand-engraving and the movement decoration with manually chamfered bridges and polished edges has been done by hand by Arnold & Son's master watchmakers, thus bringing more brilliance and depth to each decorative element to the tourbillon movement design.
