In 1764, King
George III favor fell upon a novice clockmaker in London named John
Arnold. ( Arnold and son watches) The young John Arnold, however, shunned the honors of the
court, preferring instead to search for the perfect marine
timekeeper that would also determine the longitude at sea. Arnold's
maritime endeavors led him to some astonishing horological
discoveries relating to springs of pocket watches. As a result, he
also produced the first pocket chronometer.
|
| When Arnold
& son was formed in 1787, the company's timepieces equipped the
ships of His British Majesty, before the watchmakers sailed into the
design and manufacturer of wristwatches. The dream of perfection
pursued by the British dynasty is accessible today. Combining
precision, innovation and royal stoicism, the collection of Arnold
& Son watches represent the epitome of British efficiency and
discretion. |
