When music icon and global superstar Ed Sheeran graced the cover of TIME Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2025, fans noticed more than just his words. This exceptional moment highlights not only Ed Sheeran’s timeless influence but also his impeccable taste in horology. Known for his deep emotional connection to listeners, Sheeran was photographed wearing an extraordinary timepiece: the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon 11. Provident Jewelry proudly offers the same limited-edition watch that Sheeran wore for its iconic feature. For collectors and connoisseurs alike, this is more than a watch, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, history, and cultural relevance.
There’s no denying Ed Sheeran’s passion for luxury watches. Widely considered one of the most notable celebrity collectors today, Sheeran’s 2023 “Talking Watches” episode with John Mayer became one of Hodinkee’s most viewed segments of all time. With an enviable collection that ranges from rare Richard Mille pieces to limited-edition Patek Philippe, Ed’s choices reflect a true appreciation for artistry and legacy.
His selection of the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon 11 for TIME’s cover is no accident. It’s a bold yet refined nod to horological excellence, a perfect match for a man whose music transcends generations.
The Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon 11: An Anniversary Worth Celebrating
Crafted in honor of the brand’s 260th anniversary, the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon 11 is a technical masterpiece. Limited to just 11 pieces worldwide, this watch epitomizes exclusivity and innovation. Its precision is grounded in the constant force mechanism, a horological complication that ensures uniform power delivery to the escapement, improving accuracy and stability.
The tourbillon cage, hand-finished with remarkable attention to detail, rotates once per minute to counteract the effects of gravity on the watch’s movement. Housed in an elegant 18K rose gold case with a sapphire case back, the Constant Force Tourbillon 11 is as beautiful to admire as it is to wear.
“Watches like this aren’t just about time—they’re about story,” says one of Provident Jewelry’s senior horology specialists. “Arnold & Son pieces are for those who appreciate the blend of art, history, and engineering.”
Ed Sheeran’s decision to wear the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon 11 further cements the brand’s place among elite watchmakers. Known for his humble yet thoughtful approach to collecting, Ed often gravitates toward pieces with meaning. Arnold & Son's celebration of horological legacy and innovation aligns perfectly with his artistic values. In an industry driven by flash, Sheeran’s choice proves that true luxury lies in substance, story, and heritage. That's exactly what Arnold & Son delivers and why it’s one of the most admired brands at Provident Jewelry.
Why Arnold & Son Is a Collector’s Dream
Arnold & Son is rooted in British watchmaking heritage, founded by legendary horologist John Arnold in the 18th century. A contemporary and friend of Louis-Abraham Breguet, Arnold’s innovations shaped modern watchmaking. In fact, Breguet’s first tourbillon was personally dedicated to Arnold, a testament to their mutual respect and technical brilliance.
Today, Arnold & Son operates as a Swiss haute horlogerie brand under La Joux-Perret, continuing to push boundaries in mechanical watchmaking. With a strong emphasis on in-house movements, symmetrical dials, and rare complications, the brand is celebrated globally for innovation and artistry.
