A strong return to tradition and classicism.

The latest Arnold & Son timepiece is not only a tribute to John Arnold's originality and skill but also to the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds itself, cradle of Swiss watchmaking and seat of the Company.

The newest addition to the HMS1 collection is the timepiece featuring an anthracite dial in a classical elegant rose gold case. The case is 40mm in diameter and houses a manufacture handwound movement which is only 2.7 mm thick.

Immediately one notices the two barrels providing 80 hours power reserve. Whereas most watches in this segment of the market only provide a single barrel, the solution of having two barrels provide more constant power and more constant force, which will result in improved accuracy, something important for Arnold & Son.

With further details such as hand angling and decoration of all bridges and fine hand stitching on the alligator strap, this HMS1 line is a true modern expression of the traditional search for precision combined with superior craftsmanship that Arnold & Son has always pursued.

Available in a 40 mm rose gold or stainless steel case, the Arnold & Son HMS1 is water resistant to 30 meters.
