 In a remarkable fusion of haute horology and profound cultural symbolism, CIGA Design has unveiled its latest masterpiece: the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Horse timepiece. More than a celebratory edition, this watch is a philosophical statement on time itself, channeling the horse's symbolic values of ambition, progress, and relentless momentum into a breathtaking mechanical ballet. Distributed exclusively in Malaysia by Red Army Watches, the timepiece moves beyond traditional zodiac motifs.
