Arnold & Son Honours the Chinese Year of the Horse with an Exquisite Limited-Edition Perpetual Moon Watch

In celebration of the 2026 Chinese New Year of the Horse, renowned watchmaker Arnold & Son introduces a limited series of their iconic Perpetual Moon timepieces. This release marks the brand’s sixth consecutive year of issuing custom edition watches in honour of the Chinese lunar calendar, reflecting their appreciation of this profound tradition. The stellar 2026 edition pays tribute to the Year of the Fire Horse, creatively epitomized in an opulent, meticulously detailed watch dial.

Introduced back in 2013, the Perpetual Moon model is an enchanting testament to lunar mystique. Unlike conventional moon phase watches, it features a large, commanding 29mm window, spanning across the dial from 10 to 2 o’clock - a design decision that grants the admiring viewer a complete appreciation of the 11.2mm hand-engraved moon. Dwarfing traditional moon phase apertures usually situated at 6 o’clock, this radically innovative showcase offers a gravitational pull all its own.

Maintaining the brand’s devotion to accurate celestial displays, the ethereal mother-of-pearl moon takes centre stage amidst the constellation-dotted black aventurine sky. The incredible quality of this moon phase timepiece is evident in its precise adjustment system on the movement’s side, an innovative feature that allows pinpoint accuracy, deviating by just one day every 122 years. The watch is powered by the manual-winding A&S1512 calibre, further evidencing Arnold & Son’s commitment to superior horological craft.
