Shanghai Phonograph 41.5mm Watch - 2026 Year of Horse Limited Edition · Golden Steed of Prosperity

Inspired by the famed Six Steeds of Zhaoling, the legendary warhorses of Emperor Taizong of Tang, this design channels unwavering strength born through conquest and perseverance. These horses carried history across battlefields and into legacy. On the dial, that same spirit is reborn—symbolizing inner fortitude refined by challenge. The wearer is invited to embody resilience shaped like stone and steel, advancing with clarity and conviction, as if each step echoes with the sound of hooves striking bronze.

Crafted from genuine meteorite, the dial reveals a natural Widmanstätten pattern—formed as iron-nickel crystals cooled over millions of years in deep space. Each dial is inherently unique, shimmering with a cool, cosmic glow that evokes infinite distance and timelessness. Against this celestial canvas, the horse appears mid-leap, mane flowing, hooves lifted, capturing the precise moment before impact. It is a powerful metaphor: ambition suspended between intention and triumph.

A finely sculpted solid gold horse (approx. 1.3g of pure gold) rises from the dial, paired with a gold-plated case that amplifies its brilliance. The golden mane lifts with motion, hooves striking forward with unstoppable energy—symbolizing prosperity flowing from every direction. Integrated with a rotating carousel dial that completes one full revolution per hour, the display recalls a vinyl record spinning on a classic gramophone, merging heritage mechanics with poetic movement.

The fully transparent sapphire crystal caseback unveils the mechanical heart within. Decorated with traditional Geneva stripes, the movement reflects Shanghai Watch’s dedication to horological artistry and finishing excellence. Each oscillation, each polished bridge, speaks to precision shaped by human hands. This open view transforms the watch from an object into an experience—where craftsmanship, motion, and time converge in quiet confidence.
