TB East Indiamen – East Indiamen in the China Seas
The East India Company Set is the latest addition to Arnold & Son’s Instrument Collection and comprises three timepieces that combine maritime precision with aesthetic perfection. The models celebrate the East Indiamen, the vessels that helped to establish the trading supremacy of the East India Company. The designers took their inspiration from the distinctive instrument-like chronometers produced by John Arnold and his son, John Roger Arnold. These delivered the robustness, reliability and down-to-the-second precision needed to determine longitude by marine navigators.
