Occurring only once every 60 years, the Fire Horse is associated with unbridled energy, passion and speed \u2014 themes that naturally resonate with the world of mechanical watchmaking.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike previous years that favored serene or artistic interpretations, the 2026 lineup leans heavily into dynamism. From high-complication tributes featuring galloping automata to racing chronographs that channel the \u201chorsepower\u201d of the automotive world, watch Maisons are interpreting the zodiac\u2019s energetic spirit with aggressive materials and bold red hues. Below, we\u2019ve curated a list of timepieces from six different watch brands that best define and celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse.<\/p>\n<h3>Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso \u201cHorse\u201d &amp;

beauty of this year\u2019s zodiac animal. The first is the Maison\u2019s official Year of the Horse timepiece. Its front showcases the same pristine, jet\u2011black Grand Feu enamel dial seen in previous festive editions, while the reverse transforms into a sculptural canvas. Here, the \u201cFire Horse\u201d emerges through a fully hand\u2011engraved volumetric silhouette that appears to leap from the pink gold case. To heighten the sense of energy, engravers employed a \u201ctrampling\u201d technique, creating a textured background that evokes sparks and the vitality of the fire element, set against the polished dynamism of the horse itself.\n<\/p>\n<p>The second release features a trio of exquisite designs \u2014 a high-art tribute to the legendary Chinese painter Xu Beihong, renowned for his ink-wash masterpieces. On the caseback of this 18k pink gold model, the Maison\u2019s master enamellers have reproduced one of Xu\u2019s iconic \u201cGalloping Horse\u201d paintings using the technique of miniature Grand Feu enamel. The challenge here lies in the monochromatic palette; achieving the depth, fluidity, and \u201cwet\u201d look of traditional ink on paper requires layers of translucent and opaque enamels, fired repeatedly to capture the horse\u2019s muscular tension in motion. Both models are powered by the hand-wound Calibre 822, serving as portable canvases that bridge the gap between 20th-century Chinese art and 21st-century Swiss craftsmanship.\n<\/p>\n<h3>IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info01.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info-2.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>IWC takes a classic approach with the Portugieser Automatic 42 Edition \u201cYear of the Horse,\u201d leaning into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a striking burgundy dial. The deep red hue, finished with a sunray brush, contrasts sharply against the 18k gold-plated hands and appliques, creating a look that is festive without being gaudy. Housed in a compact 42mm stainless steel case, it retains the clean, legible layout that has made the Portugieser a staple of the brand\u2019s catalog.\n<\/p>\n<p>The real tribute, however, lies on the reverse side. Through the sapphire caseback, the Pellaton winding system is driven by a unique gold-plated oscillating weight shaped in the form of a prancing horse. This kinetic detail transforms the movement of the wearer\u2019s wrist into the \u201cgallop\u201d of the animal, powering the in-house 82200 caliber and its 60-hour power reserve.\n<\/p>\n<h3>TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Year of the Fire Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There is perhaps no fitter canvas for the Year of the Horse than a collection born from racing. For 2026, TAG Heuer taps into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a 39mm Carrera Glassbox edition that feels distinctively vintage yet aggressive. Deviating from the standard tricompax layout, this limited edition adopts the \u201cDato\u201d configuration, featuring a single date window at 9 o\u2019clock. In a clever nod to the zodiac, the date wheel\u2019s numeral \u201c7\u201d has been replaced by the Chinese character for Horse (\u201c\u9a6c\u201d) \u2014 marking the animal\u2019s seventh position in the cycle.\n<\/p>\n<p>The dial itself is a sunray-brushed champagne gold, contrasted heavily by a \u201cfiery\u201d red 30-minute counter at 3 o\u2019clock and a matching red lacquered central seconds hand. It is powered by the in-house Calibre TH20-07, visible through a sapphire caseback that features a printed galloping horse motif. Paired with a steel seven-row \u201cbeads-of-rice\u201d bracelet, the watch is limited to just 250 pieces, blending the elegance of mid-century Heuer with the high-octane energy of the new year.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-052.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-053.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-054.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hublot approaches the zodiac with its signature fusion of industrial materials and complex artistry. The Spirit of Big Bang \u201cYear of the Horse\u201d features a 42mm barrel-shaped case crafted from Frosted Carbon, a material chosen for its chaotic, energetic texture, which mirrors the untamed nature of the Fire Horse.\n<\/p>\n<p>The dial is a technical marvel of marquetry, constructed from hundreds of individual shards of carbon fiber and gold to form the 3D profile of a horse\u2019s head. Unlike traditional painting, this structural approach gives the animal a raw, modern presence. Limited to just 88 pieces, the watch is powered by the HUB1710 self-winding movement, proving that Hublot remains the industry leader in making traditional iconography feel radically contemporary.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Vacheron Constantin M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\"

Horse. Available in platinum or pink gold, the timepiece eschews traditional hands in favor of four trailing apertures that display the hours, minutes, day, and date. This layout clears the center of the dial for the main event: a hand-engraved, solid gold horse captured mid-leap.\n<\/p>\n<p>The background is a work of Grand Feu enamel, depicting a bamboo forest motif that adds depth and context to the sculpture. The \u201cFire Horse\u201d is brought to life through the dynamism of the engraving; the muscles and mane are etched with microscopic precision to suggest movement. Powered by the Calibre 2460 G4, it stands as the most traditional haute horlogerie offering of the group, focusing heavily on the preservation of decorative crafts.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Breitling Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider\u201d<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-005.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Breitling enters the Lunar New Year conversation with the Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider,\u201d a 288-piece limited edition that blends the zodiac with muscle car culture.

Occurring only once every 60 years, the Fire Horse is associated with unbridled energy, passion and speed \u2014 themes that naturally resonate with the world of mechanical watchmaking.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike previous years that favored serene or artistic interpretations, the 2026 lineup leans heavily into dynamism. From high-complication tributes featuring galloping automata to racing chronographs that channel the \u201chorsepower\u201d of the automotive world, watch Maisons are interpreting the zodiac\u2019s energetic spirit with aggressive materials and bold red hues. Below, we\u2019ve curated a list of timepieces from six different watch brands that best define and celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse.<\/p>\n<h3>Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso \u201cHorse\u201d &amp;

beauty of this year\u2019s zodiac animal. The first is the Maison\u2019s official Year of the Horse timepiece. Its front showcases the same pristine, jet\u2011black Grand Feu enamel dial seen in previous festive editions, while the reverse transforms into a sculptural canvas. Here, the \u201cFire Horse\u201d emerges through a fully hand\u2011engraved volumetric silhouette that appears to leap from the pink gold case. To heighten the sense of energy, engravers employed a \u201ctrampling\u201d technique, creating a textured background that evokes sparks and the vitality of the fire element, set against the polished dynamism of the horse itself.\n<\/p>\n<p>The second release features a trio of exquisite designs \u2014 a high-art tribute to the legendary Chinese painter Xu Beihong, renowned for his ink-wash masterpieces. On the caseback of this 18k pink gold model, the Maison\u2019s master enamellers have reproduced one of Xu\u2019s iconic \u201cGalloping Horse\u201d paintings using the technique of miniature Grand Feu enamel. The challenge here lies in the monochromatic palette; achieving the depth, fluidity, and \u201cwet\u201d look of traditional ink on paper requires layers of translucent and opaque enamels, fired repeatedly to capture the horse\u2019s muscular tension in motion. Both models are powered by the hand-wound Calibre 822, serving as portable canvases that bridge the gap between 20th-century Chinese art and 21st-century Swiss craftsmanship.\n<\/p>\n<h3>IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info01.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info-2.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>IWC takes a classic approach with the Portugieser Automatic 42 Edition \u201cYear of the Horse,\u201d leaning into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a striking burgundy dial. The deep red hue, finished with a sunray brush, contrasts sharply against the 18k gold-plated hands and appliques, creating a look that is festive without being gaudy. Housed in a compact 42mm stainless steel case, it retains the clean, legible layout that has made the Portugieser a staple of the brand\u2019s catalog.\n<\/p>\n<p>The real tribute, however, lies on the reverse side. Through the sapphire caseback, the Pellaton winding system is driven by a unique gold-plated oscillating weight shaped in the form of a prancing horse. This kinetic detail transforms the movement of the wearer\u2019s wrist into the \u201cgallop\u201d of the animal, powering the in-house 82200 caliber and its 60-hour power reserve.\n<\/p>\n<h3>TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Year of the Fire Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There is perhaps no fitter canvas for the Year of the Horse than a collection born from racing. For 2026, TAG Heuer taps into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a 39mm Carrera Glassbox edition that feels distinctively vintage yet aggressive. Deviating from the standard tricompax layout, this limited edition adopts the \u201cDato\u201d configuration, featuring a single date window at 9 o\u2019clock. In a clever nod to the zodiac, the date wheel\u2019s numeral \u201c7\u201d has been replaced by the Chinese character for Horse (\u201c\u9a6c\u201d) \u2014 marking the animal\u2019s seventh position in the cycle.\n<\/p>\n<p>The dial itself is a sunray-brushed champagne gold, contrasted heavily by a \u201cfiery\u201d red 30-minute counter at 3 o\u2019clock and a matching red lacquered central seconds hand. It is powered by the in-house Calibre TH20-07, visible through a sapphire caseback that features a printed galloping horse motif. Paired with a steel seven-row \u201cbeads-of-rice\u201d bracelet, the watch is limited to just 250 pieces, blending the elegance of mid-century Heuer with the high-octane energy of the new year.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-052.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-053.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-054.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hublot approaches the zodiac with its signature fusion of industrial materials and complex artistry.

contemporary.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Vacheron Constantin M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\"

Horse. Available in platinum or pink gold, the timepiece eschews traditional hands in favor of four trailing apertures that display the hours, minutes, day, and date. This layout clears the center of the dial for the main event: a hand-engraved, solid gold horse captured mid-leap.\n<\/p>\n<p>The background is a work of Grand Feu enamel, depicting a bamboo forest motif that adds depth and context to the sculpture. The \u201cFire Horse\u201d is brought to life through the dynamism of the engraving; the muscles and mane are etched with microscopic precision to suggest movement. Powered by the Calibre 2460 G4, it stands as the most traditional haute horlogerie offering of the group, focusing heavily on the preservation of decorative crafts.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Breitling Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider\u201d<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-005.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Breitling enters the Lunar New Year conversation with the Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider,\u201d a 288-piece limited edition that blends the zodiac with muscle car culture.

Occurring only once every 60 years, the Fire Horse is associated with unbridled energy, passion and speed \u2014 themes that naturally resonate with the world of mechanical watchmaking.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike previous years that favored serene or artistic interpretations, the 2026 lineup leans heavily into dynamism. From high-complication tributes featuring galloping automata to racing chronographs that channel the \u201chorsepower\u201d of the automotive world, watch Maisons are interpreting the zodiac\u2019s energetic spirit with aggressive materials and bold red hues. Below, we\u2019ve curated a list of timepieces from six different watch brands that best define and celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse.<\/p>\n<h3>Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso \u201cHorse\u201d &amp;

beauty of this year\u2019s zodiac animal. The first is the Maison\u2019s official Year of the Horse timepiece. Its front showcases the same pristine, jet\u2011black Grand Feu enamel dial seen in previous festive editions, while the reverse transforms into a sculptural canvas. Here, the \u201cFire Horse\u201d emerges through a fully hand\u2011engraved volumetric silhouette that appears to leap from the pink gold case. To heighten the sense of energy, engravers employed a \u201ctrampling\u201d technique, creating a textured background that evokes sparks and the vitality of the fire element, set against the polished dynamism of the horse itself.\n<\/p>\n<p>The second release features a trio of exquisite designs \u2014 a high-art tribute to the legendary Chinese painter Xu Beihong, renowned for his ink-wash masterpieces. On the caseback of this 18k pink gold model, the Maison\u2019s master enamellers have reproduced one of Xu\u2019s iconic \u201cGalloping Horse\u201d paintings using the technique of miniature Grand Feu enamel. The challenge here lies in the monochromatic palette; achieving the depth, fluidity, and \u201cwet\u201d look of traditional ink on paper requires layers of translucent and opaque enamels, fired repeatedly to capture the horse\u2019s muscular tension in motion. Both models are powered by the hand-wound Calibre 822, serving as portable canvases that bridge the gap between 20th-century Chinese art and 21st-century Swiss craftsmanship.\n<\/p>\n<h3>IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info01.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info-2.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>IWC takes a classic approach with the Portugieser Automatic 42 Edition \u201cYear of the Horse,\u201d leaning into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a striking burgundy dial. The deep red hue, finished with a sunray brush, contrasts sharply against the 18k gold-plated hands and appliques, creating a look that is festive without being gaudy. Housed in a compact 42mm stainless steel case, it retains the clean, legible layout that has made the Portugieser a staple of the brand\u2019s catalog.\n<\/p>\n<p>The real tribute, however, lies on the reverse side. Through the sapphire caseback, the Pellaton winding system is driven by a unique gold-plated oscillating weight shaped in the form of a prancing horse. This kinetic detail transforms the movement of the wearer\u2019s wrist into the \u201cgallop\u201d of the animal, powering the in-house 82200 caliber and its 60-hour power reserve.\n<\/p>\n<h3>TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Year of the Fire Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There is perhaps no fitter canvas for the Year of the Horse than a collection born from racing. For 2026, TAG Heuer taps into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a 39mm Carrera Glassbox edition that feels distinctively vintage yet aggressive. Deviating from the standard tricompax layout, this limited edition adopts the \u201cDato\u201d configuration, featuring a single date window at 9 o\u2019clock. In a clever nod to the zodiac, the date wheel\u2019s numeral \u201c7\u201d has been replaced by the Chinese character for Horse (\u201c\u9a6c\u201d) \u2014 marking the animal\u2019s seventh position in the cycle.\n<\/p>\n<p>The dial itself is a sunray-brushed champagne gold, contrasted heavily by a \u201cfiery\u201d red 30-minute counter at 3 o\u2019clock and a matching red lacquered central seconds hand. It is powered by the in-house Calibre TH20-07, visible through a sapphire caseback that features a printed galloping horse motif. Paired with a steel seven-row \u201cbeads-of-rice\u201d bracelet, the watch is limited to just 250 pieces, blending the elegance of mid-century Heuer with the high-octane energy of the new year.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-052.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-053.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-054.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hublot approaches the zodiac with its signature fusion of industrial materials and complex artistry. The Spirit of Big Bang \u201cYear of the Horse\u201d features a 42mm barrel-shaped case crafted from Frosted Carbon, a material chosen for its chaotic, energetic texture, which mirrors the untamed nature of the Fire Horse.\n<\/p>\n<p>The dial is a technical marvel of marquetry, constructed from hundreds of individual shards of carbon fiber and gold to form the 3D profile of a horse\u2019s head. Unlike traditional painting, this structural approach gives the animal a raw, modern presence. Limited to just 88 pieces, the watch is powered by the HUB1710 self-winding movement, proving that Hublot remains the industry leader in making traditional iconography feel radically contemporary.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Vacheron Constantin M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\"

Horse. Available in platinum or pink gold, the timepiece eschews traditional hands in favor of four trailing apertures that display the hours, minutes, day, and date. This layout clears the center of the dial for the main event: a hand-engraved, solid gold horse captured mid-leap.\n<\/p>\n<p>The background is a work of Grand Feu enamel, depicting a bamboo forest motif that adds depth and context to the sculpture. The \u201cFire Horse\u201d is brought to life through the dynamism of the engraving; the muscles and mane are etched with microscopic precision to suggest movement. Powered by the Calibre 2460 G4, it stands as the most traditional haute horlogerie offering of the group, focusing heavily on the preservation of decorative crafts.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Breitling Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider\u201d<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-005.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Breitling enters the Lunar New Year conversation with the Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider,\u201d a 288-piece limited edition that blends the zodiac with muscle car culture.

Occurring only once every 60 years, the Fire Horse is associated with unbridled energy, passion and speed \u2014 themes that naturally resonate with the world of mechanical watchmaking.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike previous years that favored serene or artistic interpretations, the 2026 lineup leans heavily into dynamism. From high-complication tributes featuring galloping automata to racing chronographs that channel the \u201chorsepower\u201d of the automotive world, watch Maisons are interpreting the zodiac\u2019s energetic spirit with aggressive materials and bold red hues. Below, we\u2019ve curated a list of timepieces from six different watch brands that best define and celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse.<\/p>\n<h3>Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso \u201cHorse\u201d &amp;

beauty of this year\u2019s zodiac animal. The first is the Maison\u2019s official Year of the Horse timepiece. Its front showcases the same pristine, jet\u2011black Grand Feu enamel dial seen in previous festive editions, while the reverse transforms into a sculptural canvas. Here, the \u201cFire Horse\u201d emerges through a fully hand\u2011engraved volumetric silhouette that appears to leap from the pink gold case. To heighten the sense of energy, engravers employed a \u201ctrampling\u201d technique, creating a textured background that evokes sparks and the vitality of the fire element, set against the polished dynamism of the horse itself.\n<\/p>\n<p>The second release features a trio of exquisite designs \u2014 a high-art tribute to the legendary Chinese painter Xu Beihong, renowned for his ink-wash masterpieces. On the caseback of this 18k pink gold model, the Maison\u2019s master enamellers have reproduced one of Xu\u2019s iconic \u201cGalloping Horse\u201d paintings using the technique of miniature Grand Feu enamel. The challenge here lies in the monochromatic palette; achieving the depth, fluidity, and \u201cwet\u201d look of traditional ink on paper requires layers of translucent and opaque enamels, fired repeatedly to capture the horse\u2019s muscular tension in motion. Both models are powered by the hand-wound Calibre 822, serving as portable canvases that bridge the gap between 20th-century Chinese art and 21st-century Swiss craftsmanship.\n<\/p>\n<h3>IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info01.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fiwc-portugieser-automatic-42-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition-lunar-new-year-release-info-2.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Iwc<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>IWC takes a classic approach with the Portugieser Automatic 42 Edition \u201cYear of the Horse,\u201d leaning into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a striking burgundy dial. The deep red hue, finished with a sunray brush, contrasts sharply against the 18k gold-plated hands and appliques, creating a look that is festive without being gaudy. Housed in a compact 42mm stainless steel case, it retains the clean, legible layout that has made the Portugieser a staple of the brand\u2019s catalog.\n<\/p>\n<p>The real tribute, however, lies on the reverse side. Through the sapphire caseback, the Pellaton winding system is driven by a unique gold-plated oscillating weight shaped in the form of a prancing horse. This kinetic detail transforms the movement of the wearer\u2019s wrist into the \u201cgallop\u201d of the animal, powering the in-house 82200 caliber and its 60-hour power reserve.\n<\/p>\n<h3>TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Year of the Fire Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F08%2Ftag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse-limited-edition-release-info-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tag Heuer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There is perhaps no fitter canvas for the Year of the Horse than a collection born from racing. For 2026, TAG Heuer taps into the \u201cFire\u201d element with a 39mm Carrera Glassbox edition that feels distinctively vintage yet aggressive. Deviating from the standard tricompax layout, this limited edition adopts the \u201cDato\u201d configuration, featuring a single date window at 9 o\u2019clock. In a clever nod to the zodiac, the date wheel\u2019s numeral \u201c7\u201d has been replaced by the Chinese character for Horse (\u201c\u9a6c\u201d) \u2014 marking the animal\u2019s seventh position in the cycle.\n<\/p>\n<p>The dial itself is a sunray-brushed champagne gold, contrasted heavily by a \u201cfiery\u201d red 30-minute counter at 3 o\u2019clock and a matching red lacquered central seconds hand. It is powered by the in-house Calibre TH20-07, visible through a sapphire caseback that features a printed galloping horse motif. Paired with a steel seven-row \u201cbeads-of-rice\u201d bracelet, the watch is limited to just 250 pieces, blending the elegance of mid-century Heuer with the high-octane energy of the new year.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-052.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-053.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 3<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F01%2F17%2Fhublot-lvmh-watch-week-2026-release-info-054.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Hublot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hublot approaches the zodiac with its signature fusion of industrial materials and complex artistry. The Spirit of Big Bang \u201cYear of the Horse\u201d features a 42mm barrel-shaped case crafted from Frosted Carbon, a material chosen for its chaotic, energetic texture, which mirrors the untamed nature of the Fire Horse.\n<\/p>\n<p>The dial is a technical marvel of marquetry, constructed from hundreds of individual shards of carbon fiber and gold to form the 3D profile of a horse\u2019s head. Unlike traditional painting, this structural approach gives the animal a raw, modern presence. Limited to just 88 pieces, the watch is powered by the HUB1710 self-winding movement, proving that Hublot remains the industry leader in making traditional iconography feel radically contemporary.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Vacheron Constantin M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Horse<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\"

Horse. Available in platinum or pink gold, the timepiece eschews traditional hands in favor of four trailing apertures that display the hours, minutes, day, and date. This layout clears the center of the dial for the main event: a hand-engraved, solid gold horse captured mid-leap.\n<\/p>\n<p>The background is a work of Grand Feu enamel, depicting a bamboo forest motif that adds depth and context to the sculpture. The \u201cFire Horse\u201d is brought to life through the dynamism of the engraving; the muscles and mane are etched with microscopic precision to suggest movement. Powered by the Calibre 2460 G4, it stands as the most traditional haute horlogerie offering of the group, focusing heavily on the preservation of decorative crafts.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Breitling Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider\u201d<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-001.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-002.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-003.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-004.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F02%2F15%2FBreitling-Top-Time-B01-Shadow-Rider-005.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Breitling<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Breitling enters the Lunar New Year conversation with the Top Time B01 \u201cShadow Rider,\u201d a 288-piece limited edition that blends the zodiac with muscle car culture.
