Heir to John Arnold's chronometers, Arnold & Son charts the heavens with poetic moons, celestial precision and distinguished English provenance.
Founded by John Arnold.
John Arnold's chronometer No. 3 accompanied Captain James Cook on his second great voyage of discovery in 1772.
Arnold held patents for a detent escapement, a bimetallic balance and a helical balance spring, advancing precision timekeeping at sea.
Relaunched in Switzerland in 1995, the house today offers around twenty calibres, conceived, made and assembled by its sister manufacture.
The Luna Magna presents a 12 mm spherical moon, described as the largest rotating moon ever created in relief for a wristwatch.
A great moon rises over the sea as a ship of discovery sails by.
New stories from Arnold & Son arrive here as we publish them, straight from the house.
Every timepiece is best discovered in person: on the wrist, in the hand, and in the company of those who made it.
Every house in this collection has its own world on Simply Luxury.
The Arnold & Son name belongs to its owners. Stories on Simply Luxury are drawn from the house's own published content. Illustrations by Simply Luxury.
