The Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 41.5 Red Gold is the perfect timepiece for 2025
In 2025, the Chinese zodiac ushers in the Year of the Wooden Snake, a time for transformation, introspection, and self-improvement. Arnold & Son marks this occasion with the exquisite Perpetual Moon 41.5 “Year of the Snake,” a limited-edition timepiece that blends craftsmanship, tradition, and celestial artistry.
This eight-piece series in red gold is a true testament to the brand’s legacy, combining a manufacture caliber with an astronomical moon and aventurine glass dial.
A Masterpiece
The Perpetual Moon 41.5 “Year of the Snake” features a unique dial design, showcasing an intricately hand-engraved snake, delicately wrapped around a ginkgo biloba tree branch. 
This tranquil setting reflects the mystery and introspection of the Snake, a symbol of wisdom and transformation in Chinese astrology. The blue aventurine glass dial creates a stunning nocturnal backdrop, enhancing the realism of the hand-engraved snake, complete with fine scales, forked tongue, and broad, flat head.
Stellar Elegance
At the heart of the timepiece is a large, luminous moon rendered in mother-of-pearl, overlaid with Super-LumiNova for a glowing effect. This moon sits amidst the constellations of Ursa Major and Cassiopeia, beautifully painted with luminescent material.
These star patterns are a nod to the history of John Arnold, a pioneer in marine chronometry, and serve as guiding lights for navigation. The Pole Star, which points to the north, is prominently positioned, bridging the celestial with the cultural significance of the Chinese zodiac.
Precision in Every Detail
The Perpetual Moon 41.5 “Year of the Snake” is powered by Arnold & Son’s exceptional A&S1512 caliber, a manually-wound movement that tracks the moon’s phases with remarkable accuracy. This movement, developed and finished entirely at Arnold & Son’s La Chaux-de-Fonds manufacture, boasts an impressive lunar cycle duration of 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds
