Arnold & Son
Any Arnold & Son owners on this forum?
Managed to have an appointment with the COO during Baselworld, where he showcased the entire collection, and I am seriously contemplating getting one. Really like the finishing, and the fact that they are under the radar. My biggest concerns are resell (would buy 2nd hand) and servicing costs as I have no clue what they are... |

Don't have one, but fascinated by the CTB with dead beat seconds and sweeping chrono hand. But yea, same concerns you had. Also the 44mm case was a bit of a turnoff for me.

Personally, I am contemplating the DBTS blue face in SS, it's a stunner. |

I think they are an underrated brand. I like many of their watches and have come close to buying a few times. We have a dealer close by and I have seen many in person

They don't have any real connection to the original Arnold & Sons, though, do they? Just started using the name in the 1990s, so no real heritage there, as far as I know. And owned by Citizen these days.

No direct line to A&S from the 1700s, but created by La Joux Perret, like Graham, and Angelus (recently), who have been under Citizen Group ownership since 2011.

Well done for following a path very few dare to tread… Great looking watch whether it’s with the black or blue dial. |

I appreciate the new regime building watches to the original Arnold & Son standard. Having funding from Citizen is a nice assurance that they will continue to build watches such as this. Cheers!
