Arnold Son’s Perpetual Moon 41.5 Red Gold “Year of the Horse” pares its message down to precision, symbolism, and craft. Limited to eight pieces, it ushers in the Fire Horse of 2026 with a dial that prioritises clarity of narrative over excess. A rearing horse, silhouetted against a black aventurine sky, dominates the scene, direct, graphic, and unmistakably intentional.
The execution is where the watch earns its authority. The horse is hand-engraved in red gold, its form crisp and muscular, while painted golden sparks introduce motion without overwhelming the composition. By night, discreet Super-LumiNova accents subtly shift the mood, and the mother-of-pearl moon, engraved with constellations, reinforces the astronomical focus rather than competing with the artwork.
On the reverse, the tone remains firmly technical. The manual-winding A&S1512 calibre drives an exceptionally precise moon-phase display, accurate to a single day in 122 years. Twin barrels provide a 90-hour power reserve, and the entire movement is conceived and finished in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It’s a watch that balances decorative ambition with mechanical discipline – deliberate, controlled, and quietly confident.
