Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast!

To mark 260 years of one of the most important brands in British watchmaking and horological history, Arnold & Son, we speak to their engaging CEO and consummate gentleman, Pascal Béchu.

Sit back and learn about some of the most mind-blowing historical stories about the brand, created by John Arnold and his son John Roger Arnold in 1764. Discover how he went from a humble watchmaker to making watches for a British king, a world famous nautical explorer, and the home of timekeeping, London's Greenwich Observatory. It doesn't end there the discussion continues with John Arnold's watchmaking relationship, legacy and collaborations with one Abraham Louis Breguet, and were they really BOTH behind the creation of the tourbillon?

It's not just a history lesson, we talk about modern-day Arnold & Son and how the brand, under Pascal, is striving to keep every element of the brand's history and heritage alive and up to date in this modern watchmaking era.

It is indeed an honour and a pleasure to mark the launch of Arnold & Son's brand new Constant Force Tourbillon today too, with them choosing Chrono Passion 7 to be the first podcast to talk about it and discuss it before Watches & Wonders 2025 where it will be launched as their novelty for the big show.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk history, modernity, and a possible inspiration for MBNF and their Legacy Machine.
