Chopard

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...  

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

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 r... 

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...

The one that done by Kees Angelbarts for PSM is very nice - alive! Regards Ling

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

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...  

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...
