I love watches but I am not a huge collector.


I have three watches from the very old manufactures from Geneva, one from the Vallée de Joux and one from the German-speaking part of Switzerland, covering the range from sports to dress watches and complications.

Lately, I have been looking into "skeletonized" watches with a more "modern" look. I have set my mind on possibly acquiring an Arnold & Son ("A&S") Nebula in stainless steel.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this watch and the brand, irrespective of whether you are an owner of this particular piece or other watches by A&S.

I deliberately keep my question quite broad because I don't want to pre-empt any valuable input by phrasing the question to narrowly.

Your responses are highly appreciated smile

I owned this watch for about two years

I was very much impressed when it was first released and bought it soon after. Everything is laid bare, you can follow every gear and pinion to understand exactly how the watch works. I particularly enjoyed the way the dual-barrel mechanism is being wound... 

Like many collectors

I found myself in a position of having too many watches and forced myself to begin parting with some of them to be able to justify new additions. I like wearing my watches for a few days or a week at a time, and hate to see them staying in the box unworn ... 

This is a good-looking watch

And reasonably priced, from what I’ve read. Another similar combination of features and style can be found in some watches by Armin Strom. I don’t own one but had a weekend trial a couple years ago. COMPLETE ARTICLE HERE Cazalea ...  

This brand is pretty good.

I like this brand too and have a few like golden wheel and dstb. My suggestion is if you really like it, try to find the best price. This brand is hard to keep value and the price in some countries is very high compare to HK or UAE. Also, for the skeleton...  

The zenith skeletonize El Primero should fit by Bill as well.

A&S makes great iconic watches but just to young compare to other. Just IMO.
