A Century of Precise Timekeeping, The Story of John Arnold

Bilingual English/French

In tribute to its eponymous founder, the man who first used the term ‘chronometer’ to refer to precision and made some of the most glorious examples ever conceived, Arnold & Son is publishing “A Century of Precise Timekeeping, The Story of John Arnold”. Written by journalist, historian, and watchmaker Vincent Daveau, with a foreword by British journalist Robin Swithinbank, this bilingual English-French book is more than just a piece of research or collection of facts. The book recounts John Arnold’s innovations and places them in the context of the Age of Enlightenment, illuminated by rapid scientific progress and discoveries that went down in history.
