Burned :-)
Hello Daos
Burned is the correct word as Dragon breathes fire 
That's part of the reasons why I'm glad L.U.C only commissioned just 8 pieces.
However it is interesting to see various work of dragon-watches from various brands. Sometimes, I wonder if they research on the culture before embarking on such work. There are certain pointers which must be correct for Chinese Dragons.
Thanks for viewing.

Unleashing the L.U.C Tourbillon Dragon
To commemorate the year of the Dragon ( ? / ? in the Chinese zodiac or "Sh?ngxiào" ) Chopard issued 8 ausipicious pieces of the L.U.C Tourbillon Dragon (Ref : Ref. 161869-5003). The L.U.C Tourbillon Dragon is different from most of the 'Dragon-watches' fr...
Love the engraving!
There's been a glut of dragon watches lately, so I'm a little burned out by them, but this is very attractive! Cheers, Daos

MIxed feeling about the dragon.
Kong, I always appreciate the effort shown by Chopard in trying to do something different. I like the old engraving skill. You will find the similar skill used in wood carving in China. Of course, the skill shown on the movement plate will be more challen...
My impression ...
Hi Ling Thanks for your observations. My take, if the watch is seen in metal, you would see much details from far and may not even realise the eyeballs are present. It also take a few seconds to find the head of the dragon for me These shots are postiion ...
Hmmm...
Hi Kong, thanks for the photos. I think the engraving work is nice but perhaps I am a bit overwhelmed by Dragons this year, so many ( too many?) of them by almost every single big brand. Cant deny that China is a big consumer these days but looking at all...
Its difficult ...
Hi Jacky Thanks for the candid inputs. Understand some may be 'jelat' due to too many dragon watches. From business perspectives, it is inevitable. It is one of the best approach to get awareness to the Chinese for brands which do not have the mind-share ...
Kees Angelbarts' dragon
The one that done by Kees Angelbarts for PSM is very nice - alive! Regards Ling
Not every piece is nice ...
the latest Immortal Dragon is best among all his dragons. It is alive, I believe he has studies the work on the Beijing Nine Dragon Wall, the essence is the eyes of the Dragon. Kong
Euro-Chinese thoughts....VERY L-O-O-N-G
Jacky asked if Europeans and Americans would like dragon motif on watches. I'm not sure that I qualify but I'll give it a go. Genetically, I may be 87.5% (or 93.75%) Chinese; family tree is poorly documented with two World Wars, Invasions, Revolutions, Co...
Hi Melvyn..
Hey hows it going? Anyway I guess I understand where you coming from about the Dragon. Indeed, a matter of art is very personal and really have no right or wrong, just purely personal. What I meant was in general I think Chinese would appreciate these Dra...
