Arnold & Son DSTB "Dial Side True Beat" Watch New For 2014
Arnold & Son will release this interesting limited edition DSTB watch at Baselworld 2014. "DSTB" stands for "Dial Side True Beat" and is a revision on the brand non well-known TB88 watch collection. In Arnold & Son speak "true beat" means dead seconds. What is that? Well, it is what you call a mechanical watch's second hand when it ticks versus sweeps.Recently, we also debuted Arnold & Son's new for 2014 DTE double tourbillon watch.
