Arnold & Son - “Scout Night Flight” - Ref. No: 1AZBS.B01A.K08B - Mænd - 2000-2010

Welcome to my Top Swiss Wrist Watches Boutique:

Arnold & Son is a prestigious watch brand with 18th-century English roots, founded by renowned chronometer maker John Arnold (1736–1799) and his son, John Roger Arnold, in 1787. Famous for solving the "longitude problem" with precise marine chronometers, the brand blends British maritime heritage with modern Swiss high-complication watchmaking.
Key Historical Milestones:
1764: John Arnold gains fame by presenting a tiny, high-precision repeater watch to King George III.
1770s-1780s: John Arnold develops critical marine timekeepers, with his chronometer No. 3 accompanying Captain James Cook on his second voyage.
1787: Officially creates the company Arnold & Son with his son, John Roger.
Innovations: John Arnold invented the detent escapement, bimetallic balance, and helical balance spring, which revolutionized precision timekeeping.
1843: Following the death of John Roger Arnold, the company was continued by Charles Frodsham.
1995-Present: The brand was revived in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 1995, and since 2012, it has been owned by Citizen Holdings Co., Ltd.,, operating under La Joux-Perret.
Today, Arnold & Son is known for its in-house movements, focusing on astronomical complications, celestial navigation, and, true to its roots, precision timekeeping.
Unlike other watch manufacturers, who often use same caliber for different models, Arnold-&-Son develops new movement for every single model.
Nowadays, the brand maintains product philosophy established well over 200 years ago, combining traditional, hand-finished craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.

The Arnold & Son Scout series is part of the brand’s adventurous, nautical-inspired watches, historically echoing John Arnold’s legacy in marine chronometry. These models often blend traditional watchmaking with navigational cues and bold, active designs.
