Arnold & Son History
Arnold & Son is the fruit of England's wide-ranging interest in the manufacture of marine timepieces.
1736 John Arnold is born in Cornwal. After is apprenticeship with is father at the age of 20, he left
for Holland where he learned German.
1764 He opened is first workshop, at the Strand in London. He gained immediate recognition by
successfully repairing a complicated watch from Sir McGuire, a known watchmaking
aficionados.
1764 Produced an impressive Minute Repeater-ring and presented it as a gift to King George III,
thereby instantly gaining access to circles of wealthy people.
Joins the Longitude Prize- competition: the search of a reliable method for calculating
longitude at sea, to stop heavy maritime losses and accelerate the expansion of Britain’s
empire.
He was recognised as the specialist par excellence in marine timepieces, and invented both the
detent escapement and bimetallic balance.
1770 John Arnold meets the new, stricter ‘Longitude Prize’- requirement for watchmaker-longitude
methods: Two identical clock- prototypes are tested both at sea and on land. Entrepreneurial
skills and technical genius give him an edge over competitors. He finally co-wins the Longitude
Prize (the prize was effectively won and shared by 4 clockmakers).
1773 His invention of the ‘detent escapement’ and his other significant movement designimprovements
allowed him to make the first ever ‘Pocket Chronometer’ (chronometer N°36).
1792 His son John Roger Arnold studies for a year in Paris with his father’s friend:
Abraham-Louis Breguet.
1796 John Roger joins his fathers’ firm. ‘Arnold & Son’ quickly became by far the leading supplier to
the Royal Navy.
1811 John Roger adopts his nephew as his successor but the latter dies in 1829.
1826 John Roger and Edward John Dent (another London clockmaker) conclude a 10 yearpartnership
contract.
1843 John Roger dies and ‘Arnold & Son’ is repurchased by Charles Frodsham.
1792 – 1916: Arnold chronometers accompany numerous famous British explorers: Cook, Phipps,
Vancouver, Flinders, Dr.Livingstone, John Franklin, Sir Ernest Shackleton, etc.
1990’s Arnold & Son’s saga is perpetuated by a team of outstanding engineers and watchmakers in La
Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland

Además de lo que dice el compañero, montan ETASAS con predilección por la serie 289x en muchas de sus variantes y calidades... En cuanto al precio, son bastante caros, aunque tienen unos diseños interesantes y mucha calidad en cuanto acabados...

Efectivamente son Suizos y además... manufactura.
Son bastante caros; a partir de 3000 euros sin complicación y tienen tambien turbillones y otras excentricidades a precios en consonancia. Los hay de 90000 eurazos.
Tienen un modelo políticamente incorrecto para un español, que es el "Trafalgar",dedicado a la gesta de Nelson, que es una preciosidad.
