Named after John Arnold, the English watchmaker of the 18th century renowned for his ingenuity and work on marine chronometers, Arnold & Son perpetuates today his legacy, exploring contemporary ways to interpret traditional watch craftsmanship.
From its Manufacture based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, cradle of the Swiss watchmaking industry, Arnold & Son entirely develops its collections and calibres in-house.
Swiss Watchmaking with English Roots
The style of Arnold & Son timepieces is instantly recognizable. The three-dimensional architecture of their movements, the late-18th-century-style cantilever balance-cocks, the George-V-style bridges, the constant quest for multiaxial symmetry and the artfully crafted guilloché dials go hand-in-hand with openworked components.
Arnold & Son calibres presented to date have all been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled and adjusted by its Manufacture. This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.
