Fine English watch making tradition known for its marine chronometers, was just about the extent of my knowledge of this brand. So I decided to attend a presentation for a small group of enthusiasts given by Mr. Philippe Boven, executive V.P. of Arnold & ...

I think La Tradition fans will too

I like the symmetrical layout and the bridges/cocks. Most manufactures don't make enough of the barrels in their designs. But what's going on with the anchor on the back? But in general I find the Armold & Son watches to be too large and a little too gaud... 

is quite classy & wearable at 40mm Andrew. Quite thin as well.

Arnold is spelt without an h. Thanks for looking

No problem, Fernando. Actually I corrected the heading (Moderators prerogative) just to optimise future "Forum Searches". Thanks again for the post. Andrew

Big fan of A&S watches. The TE8 Tourbillon is a real beaut. Thanks for sharing!

at least in the past five years or so??? But I do think that their name is unfortunate... seriously... Arnold is such an un-brand-like name, no? Conjuring images of a lanky, bony sherrif's deputy who they don't let carry a gun? is it just me? The name mat... 

But you may have a point there Mostel Others may be a mouthful,some may sound very exotic whilst there are those that just roll off the tongue,like RRRo_ex! At least you like some of their offerings. cheers fernando

Then...40mm sound reasonnable, but the dial opening and lugs shape make it too large for what is obviously a dress watch. Too bad. (I've got the same problem with the nomos Zurich, on a different note)
