The founder, John Arnold
In the heart of Cornwall, a prodigy emerged in the form of John Arnold, a visionary horologist who reshaped the world of watchmaking. His journey, from the cobbled streets of England to the prestigious court of King George III, laid the foundation for Arnold & Son's legacy.
Innovations Beyond Measure
Arnold, revolutionised watchmaking with patents for Detent escapements, bimetallic balances, and helical balance springs. His masterpieces, including the smallest half-quarter repeater, became symbols of precision and elegance. Arnold's influence extended beyond horology, intertwining with historical events, such as the quest for maritime longitude, earning him accolades from the British Board of Longitude.
Evolution into Swiss Excellence
Today, Arnold & Son watches seamlessly fuse English heritage with Swiss craftsmanship. Every movement is meticulously crafted in-house, paying homage to Arnold's legacy. The incorporation of true beat seconds and dual time zones echoes maritime history.
