The Horse is one of the twelve signs in the Chinese zodiac and one of its most revered symbols.
Arnold & Son has greeted the Chinese New Year with an exquisitely crafted limited edition set.
To mark the beginning of this much awaited year on 31 January 2014, Arnold & Son proudly presented a special limited edition of 28 pairs of watches inspired by the horses depicted in traditional Chinese ink-wash paintings.
The Horse is one of the most powerful symbols in the Chinese zodiac and stands for a wealth of desirable characteristics.
Individuals born under this sign, which is symbolic of speed and strength, are reputed to be energetic and independent with a free, unbounded spirit.
In honour of the Year of the Horse in the Chinese calendar, Arnold & Son has created 28 pairs of watches, each featuring a depiction of the horses often found in traditional Chinese ink wash painting.
The two watches in each pair of this limited edition from Arnold & Son are powered by the A&S1001 calibre, developed, designed and manufactured entirely at Arnold & Son’s workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
The classical design is underscored by the slim, 18-carat rose gold case, which is also available with an optional diamond-set bezel.

The timepieces are each presented with a high-quality black alligator leather strap.
