| The

| The

Arnold
& Son |
| |
| Arnold
& Son, recognized as the first Marine Chronometer brand, operated
under the Arnold family’s control for several generations,
until the mid-19th century. |
| John
Arnold, the founder and one of the winners of the famous “Board
of the Longitude Prize”, worked out a revolutionary method
that allowed production on an industrial scale of high precision
Marine Chronometers: the instruments that were so critically needed
by navigators to calculate their position at sea. |
| Arnold
& Son timepieces equipped numerous Royal Navy Ships and accompanied
the most illustrious British explorers. |
| This
Arnold & Son Arctic Expedition provides a fantastic way to remind
the public of the special place that this name has had in the history
of the exploration of the planet, and of the many victories by particularly
courageous men over its geographical and climatic challenges. |
| Beyond
the desire to communicate this historical background, there are
values that British Master's people share and want Arnold &
Son to be associated to: |
| |
| |
Team
and community spirit, initiative spirit and creativity, the discovery
and use of ones’ and others’ resources and strengths,
the will to overcome life’s challenges and achieve great and
unique things. |
|
| |
| In
2003 Arnold & Son have planned to launch their new “Longitude”
wrist-watch, a very unique timepiece with which one can determine
one’s longitude position. |
| This
marks a very exciting time for Arnold & Son, and the Arctic
team are so pleased to welcome them on board as title sponsors. |
| We
feel hugely proud to represent and continue the association Arnold
& Son has had over the years with both the Royal Navy and so
many great British explorers of old. We follow in hallowed Arnold
& Son footsteps! |
| Thank
you for making this world record attempt and Bear's dream, a reality. |
