Nebula
Since its creation, Nebula has been a star. Its stellar mechanism, the A&S5201 calibre, is the gravitational force of this collection, giving it its appearance, identity and strength. Movement finishes are more advanced than ever.

Luna Magna
Arnold & Son presents the largest rotating moon ever created in relief for a wristwatch. Beneath an off-centred dial at 12 o’clock, is a rotating sphere that accurately represents the appearance of the quarters of the moon.

Perpetual Moon
Perpetual Moon stands out for the size of its complication and the aesthetic approach employed by the resolutely British Swiss brand. Housed in a 42, 41.5 or 38 mm case, its hand-wound calibre offering a precision double moon phase display.

DSTB
The true-beat seconds function is characteristic of the instruments that John Arnold supplied to the Royal Navy. This explicit function inspired Arnold & Son to create one of its most iconic complications: ‘True Beat’, also known as deadbeat seconds.
Shop Collection
Globetrotter
The lands seen on the surface are sculpted to precision and together with the deep, hand-painted seas, they serve as a backdrop to the world time dual time zone display. Overhanging these is an infinite arch which fixes their rotation.
Shop Collection
Ultrathin Tourbillon
A vast dial displays beautiful colour finish, while the off-centred hours dial is made of genuine white opal. Nothing distracts the eye from the hypnotic workings of the ultra-thin flying tourbillon – the signature of the collection.

Arnold & Son's three founding principles
Throughout human history, measuring time has always referred to the stars. It was by observing certain stars and understanding their cycle that the first calendars were established with impressive accuracy. It took several millennia before this precision was enclosed in a timepiece like the ones designed by John Arnold.
The golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art and their genius.
This is how these three dimensions – astronomy, chronometry and world time – have come to be embodied in the House's contemporary timepieces. Echoes of John Arnold's inventions and preoccupations, these pillars represent the foundations on which the Arnold & Son collections are based.
