A celebration of watchmaking ingenuity
Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon 11 Yellow Gold Edition. Constant Force Tourbillon 11 Arnold & Son was founded in 1764 by John Arnold, a significant figure in the world of watchmaking at that time. Known for his technical skill and dedication to accurate timekeeping, Arnold's creations were sought after by navigators, explorers and astronomers. One of his most significant contributions to the watchmaking industry was the invention of the chronometer, a precise portable timekeeping device that was crucial for accurate navigation at sea. His chronometers were recognised for their exceptional accuracy and reliability. Back view of the Tourbillon 11 Yellow Gold Edition. At Watches and Wonders 2025 in Geneva, Arnold & Son celebrated its 260th anniversary with the introduction of the Constant Force Tourbillon 11 in yellow gold. The unique timepiece pays tribute to the watchmaker's ingenuity and his close friendship with Abraham-Louis Breguet. Bound by shared respect and a deep commitment to mechanical innovation, their friendship helped lay the groundwork for modern precision watchmaking. The calibre is based on the first regulator tourbillon by Breguet, who referenced Arnold's chronometer movement. Breguet's first tourbillon. Measuring 41.5mm, the watch is crafted in 18K yellow gold as this metal was often used by Arnold for his prestigious pocket watches in the 18th century. The watch features a white grand feu enamel dial, reminiscent of the dials of the ship's chronometers given to English naval officers by Arnold. While the calibre remains faithful in design, it has been updated with a patented constant-force mechanism between the going train and the tourbillon, replacing the fusee-and-chain configuration of Arnold's chronometers. The back of the watch has an inscription in tribute to John Arnold. Featuring a dead-beat second, the seconds hand comes in the form of an anchor, a nod to Arnold & Son's marine heritage. 'For this milestone we referenced a very important timepiece that now sits in the British Museum,' says Arnold & Son's international sales director Dimitri Aubert. Limited to only 11 pieces worldwide, the Constant Force Tourbillon 11 is an unbreakable link between its storied past and the present innovative spirit 'It is rare for a brand to survive 260 years, so what better way to highlight this than a celebration of friendship between two key figures in watchmaking? Angelus Chronographe Telemetre Steel Rose Soldat. 'The watch has attracted a significant amount of interest from collectors,' says Aubert. Chronographe Télémètre This year, Angelus is releasing the Chronographe Télémètre as a limited edition of two sets of 25 steel timepieces, and another 15 in 18K yellow gold. Measuring 37mm in diameter, with a vintage-inspired dial and a mono-pusher set into the winding crown, this short-interval timekeeping instrument contains countless tributes to Angelus' rich history.

When eritage meets orological innovationWhen eritage meets orological innovation
Dimitri Aubert has been entrusted with the unique role of international sales director of two exceptional watch brands. Since taking on the position last year, Aubert has had to strike the balance between preserving the legacy of watch brands Arnold & Son and Angelus while driving innovation. 'This is a new role for me. The interesting part is that there are two brands, instead of managing just one. 'You have to be deeply involved in both brands and give both the same attention, despite them having very different strategies and developments,' says Aubert. 'Each is distinct with their own DNA and rich history. The Arnold & Son space at Sincere Fine Watches boutique in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. 'You have to consider carefully what works for each brand,' he says. Arnold & Son and Angelus are sister brands, but each has very individual personalities, aesthetics, values and priorities. This keeps Aubert on his toes as he juggles a balancing act of constantly switching between the two brands, while keeping a firm hand on the respective brand's objectives. In terms of structure, the brands are independent with a smaller team. Aubert showing off the intricate back of one of the watches. Inevitably, Aubert draws inspiration from each of the brand's storied past while keeping an eye on the horizon and what's to come. Arnold & Son is a brand with English origins, tracing its roots all the way back to 1764. The brand was founded by English watchmaker John Arnold. Arnold made significant contributions to the world of horology, especially in the development of marine chronometers, which were of vital importance in navigating the seas. The brand celebrated its 260th anniversary not too long ago and continues to integrate their legacy of precision, craftsmanship and innovation into their modern timepieces through traditional techniques. Meanwhile, Angelus was founded in 1891 in Switzerland and has been one of the most influential horological manufactures of the last century. Arnold & Son Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton Platinum. Watchmaking connoisseurs have universally praised Angelus' pioneering, in-house developed movements and timepieces, which continue to be coveted by collectors all over the world. Over the past century, Angelus has forged a fine reputation for creating exceptional chronograph and multi-complication wristwatches, multi-display travel clocks with long power reserves, and alarm watches. Today, the Angelus collection blends the very best of vintage high watchmaking with contemporary design and materials. Aubert is quick to point out that one of the things that both brands have in common is a long history of innovation, from Arnold's marine chronometry firsts to the groundbreaking Angelus mid-century chronographs. The goal is to leverage these splendid legacies and build on them to introduce new complications and exciting new designs. Inspired by the past Aubert is very much aware that watch collectors these days are well-informed when it comes to what's going on in the watchmaking world. Arnold & Son Luna Magna White Gold 'Ultimate II'. 'This is largely due to the digital world we live in today. 'The Internet contains all the information which customers can easily access from around the world. 'Customers are reading up more, asking a lot of interesting questions about the watches and the brands.' But he admits that watch trends can happen differently in certain parts of the world. 'Now in Europe, there is a stronger trend for vintage watches and smaller sized timepieces. 'In other countries such as those in South-East Asia, including Malaysia, these trends have yet to pick up,' he says. During his recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Aubert had the opportunity to curate a presentation of the latest novelties, including signature complications and recent releases from both brands. Special guests of the brands were introduced to the rich heritage, technical savoir-faire and horological artistry of Arnold & Son and Angelus – highlighting the mechanical mastery and visionary innovation that define each brand. Angelus Flying Tourbillon Titanium. 'What we wanted to show in this anniversary was the introduction of the Longitude model, which celebrates the quest for precision in calculating longitude using marine chronometers that John Arnold had during his lifetime. 'At Watches and Wonders this year, we continued this legacy by introducing a piece that comes from a watch in the British museum.' According to Aubert, this watch was a gift from Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1808 (after the death of Arnold) in memory of the friendship between the two great watchmakers of their time. The timepiece was presented to John Roger Arnold, the son of John Arnold. 'The Constant Force Tourbillon 11 watch (fitted with the constant force mechanism) is limited to 11 pieces. 'We translated the design of the movement from a pocket watch to a wristwatch, but with a modern movement with a dead-beat second,' says Aubert. Having been in the watch industry for 30 years and managing different brands, he has come to appreciate over time what can be done and the intricate techniques behind each watch movement. A watch is an important part of one's outfit – be it for men or women, he opines. He says his passion for watches is constantly ignited when he sees a new watch and how it looks. 'It's also the use of the watches and how it was made that keeps me going. 'This is something that you build over the years, and know more about over time. 'All these keep me going so nothing is boring; there is always something new to learn and find out,' Aubert declares.

Rupert Murdoch's new tabloid to bring New York Post attitude to California
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -"Headless body in topless bar"-type headlines made famous by the iconic New York Post tabloid could soon greet Californians as Rupert Murdoch's News Corp prepares to expand to the West Coast with its biggest U.S. daily newspaper launch in nearly 15 years. The California Post, to be headquartered in Los Angeles and set to launch in early 2026, said Sean Giancola, CEO and publisher of the New York Post Media Group, which will include the new publication. California news industryexperts say the tabloid would seek to capitalize on the struggles of the incumbent Los Angeles Times, which has shed subscribers and staff. The California Post will offer a familiar mix of what it calls "common-sense journalism," celebrity and entertainment news and sports reporting across multiple platforms, including mobile and desktop, audio, social media and print," Giancola said in an interview. "We already reach 3 million people in the L.A.(market) and over 7 million in California, so there is a base of audience there that already engages in our brand," Giancola said in an interview. Murdoch, the company's chairman emeritus, recognized California as a market opportunity and gave the venture his blessing, said one source with knowledge of the matter. "You don't launch a newspaper without getting feedback from one of the best guys in the business," the source added. The last daily newspaper launched in the U.S. by News Corp, owner of the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, was the Daily, a digital newspaper for Apple's then-new iPad tablet, in 2011. It folded the following year. A Los Angeles Times spokesperson did not respond immediately to a request for comment on the California Post. POPULIST APPROACH California news industry veteran Jonathan Weber said the state's newspapers adhereto a mainstream approach to journalism, which could present an opportunity for a different kind of voice that reflects this moment in the country's evolution. "Maybe there is room for a sort of pugilistic, more right-wing, kind of sensationalist sort of approach," said Weber, a former Reuters editor and serial entrepreneur who founded the San Francisco Standard and the tech business-focused Industry Standard. "There might be an opening for that." But he said the California Post also faces challenges. The New York Post is popular with readers who buy the tabloid at a newsstandbefore jumping on the subway, whereas Californians tend to drive to work, Weber said. Giancola said the New York Post Media Group has a much broader reach online than through its print edition, via a trio of digital brands including celebrity-focused Page Six, an entertainment -and pop-culture guide, the Decider and its main website. These sites attracted a combined 90 million monthly unique visitors in June, the company said. The Post achieved profitability in 2022 by monetizing these audiences, and running a "lean" news operation, Giancola also has expanded into new formats, including podcasts, video and e-commerce. "L.A. and California - like a lot of geographical areas in the country - are news deserts," said Giancola. "We think we can come into L.A. with the same formula and really cover California in a bespoke way." Ken Doctor, the California-based CEO of Lookout Local, a community journalism organization, said the New York Post could simply rebrand the tabloid for California and boost its readership and advertising. It could also fill a void for a niche set of readers in a state that is dominated by left-wing politicians but where 38% voted for President Donald Trump in the last election. "There is a place for a culturally conservative publication, and one that is populist and fits the populist times," said Doctor. Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong has said he plans to bring in more conservative voices as he seeks "balance" to correct what he perceives as a left-leaning bias ahead of an initial public offering of the publication within the next year. The loss-making 143-year-old newspaper laid off more than 20% of its newsroom staff in January 2024.
