XFor those who seek the extraordinary and the daring, the Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon Dragon is an embodiment of in-house innovations, métiers d’art and the magic of the Year of the Dragon.The creation of a 3D dragon appearing to slide its way beneath the watch’s hands and in between the plains of the gear train and the X structure presented significant challenges. Over a two-year development process, this has included designing this unique dial and making bespoke adjustments to the design of the Blast Tourbillon case, bezel, and glass-box crystal to accommodate this unique creation.(Ulysse Nardin)
XAccording to the traditional Chinese culture, 2024 heralds the Year of the Dragon. These revered creatures symbolise strength, power and good fortune. They are frequently associated with pearls, which represent purity, wisdom and wealth. When these two symbols come together, as in countless tales, they signify a harmonious blend of power, providence and prosperity.(Ulysse Nardin)
XThis piece is a metaphor for the ‘Art of Fusion’ and the art of continually reimagining materials and their areas of expression. A symbol of Hublot’s philosophy, the Hublot creates a different way to interpret times, through its distinctive features. The components of its pieces: hands, cogs or screws, are positioned in multi-dimensional layers to form a dragon’s silhouette created in paper cut-outs by the Chinese artist Chen Fen Wan. The dragon’s head made up offive layers that alternate between hands, wheels and H-shaped screws, with a body and scales that extend onto the strap. The colours, reflect those of the paper cut-out sculpture created by Chen Fen Wan.(Hublot)
XJaeger-LeCoultre adds a new chapter to the Reverso’s story of craftsmanship and artistry: the Reverso Tribute Enamel ‘Dragon’. Created to coincide with 2024 Lunar New Year, the new timepiece pays tribute to the sign of the Dragon, and to the talents of the master enamellers and engravers in the Métiers Rares™ atelier of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. To maximise the sense of volume and depth, the master engraver used a technique called modelled engraving – with 10 differently sized chisels to sculpt the metal step by step-, an exacting skill that requires absolute focus and remarkable dexterity. Perfectly paired in colour and purity, the dial features the same opaque black Grand Feu enamel as the case-back.(Jaeger-LeCoultre)
XSwivelling the watch case to its reverse side reveals a majestic dragon surrounded by golden clouds. Engraved into the pink gold case metal, the dragon seems to leap out from the background of glossy black Grand Feu enamel. The polished surfaces of the dragon’s body, the fine details of its scales – hand-drawn with black rhodium – and the contrasting sandblasted texture of the clouds catch and refract the light to enhance the illusion of movement and power.(Jaeger-LeCoultre)
XSince its release in 1957, the Hamilton Ventura has been a model of design and watchmaking, demonstrating the extraordinary power of innovation and futurism. As the Year of the Dragon approaches, Hamilton Ventura opens a new chapter in its legend, featuring an unconventional and bold skeleton dragon dial design that celebrates the prestige and strength symbolized by the legendary creature. Our new Ventura Skeleton Dragon starts a new chapter of the revolutionary story, with an unconventional and bold skeleton dragon face design on the dial, paying tribute to the dragon’s spirit and celebrating good fortune for everyone. The striking cutaways on the dial reveal a dragon’s face full of power and courage. The dragon’s face is 90° clockwise on the dial, which perfectly fits the Ventura's iconic and avant-garde, geometric shield shape.(Hamilton)
XThe Dragon is an animal with historic links to Jaquet Droz. The Atelier's founder was one of the earliest official suppliers to the Imperial Court of China, 280 years ago. Today, Jaquet Droz still regularly explores the symbolism of the Dragon in collaboration with John Howe, conceptual designer for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and one of its most consummate connoisseurs.(Jaquet Droz)
XThe Imperial Dragon Automaton Red Gold – Cuprite embodies this narrative continuity, and continues to enrich it with the deeply disruptive approach of the new Jaquet Droz. It is a modern piece, powerful and unique. It captures the past with both deference and creativity. Respectful yet audacious.(Jaquet Droz)
XIts dial is made from cuprite, a stone symbolising strength, energy and vitality, with its bright red colour representing the Dragon's characteristic fire. However, not many people are aware that the Dragon is also associated with rain, which is why the Jaquet Droz Artisans have surrounded its head and tail with clouds painted in shades of gold and ochre. This dragon features all of the distinguishing traits from Chinese culture: two moustache tendrils pointing upwards, a full beard, gently rounded teeth – the Dragon was not necessarily menacing, often representing a benevolent force. Each scale on its body is hand-shaped and hand-patinated. Its toes and claws are disturbingly life-like, which is only accentuated by the movements they make.(Jaquet Droz)

XAppearing every 12 years, the dragon is a legendary symbol of the zodiac who places strength in the ascendance. Transforming time into an era of great power, it’s the perfect moment to unveil a timepiece befitting of its mighty stature. Unlike our previous Excalibur Dragon timepiece released in 2020, this Monotourbillon depicts the creature in a more abstract way - leaving more room for interpretation and inviting the wearer to set their imagination free. The dragon’s 27 pieces are made of pink gold – polished on the top surface and with black lacquered sides. 25 different levels help to create a bold 3D effect. On the caseback, the same dragon shape is metallised on the inside of the sapphire crystal.(Roger Dubuis)
XThe Dragon motif also swirls onto a new Piaget Emperador watch, featuring a flying tourbillon in a stunning construction. This gold-engraved Dragon is especially alluring and audacious, sensually winding its way around the case and onto the sides of the watch, onto the dial. Snow-set sapphires and diamonds, each painstakingly set in graduation, evoke a twinkling, starry blue sky. The 46.5mm watch epitomises Piaget as a flamboyant encounter between high watchmaking and inspired jewellery – and is truly a work of unexpected beauty.(Piaget)
XA 41mm Altiplano High Jewellery Dragon watch sees Porchet’s fine paillonné enamelwork complement a gold- engraved Dragon that’s rendered in exquisite, powerful detail. Featuring red lacquered eyes and clasping a mystical black opal fireball in its claws, the whole design radiates from a stunning sunburst engraving. Trimmed with diamonds on the lugs and bezel, the watch is powered by Piaget’s historic 830P Manufacture ultra-thin, hand wound mechanical movement and is limited to eight numbered editions.(Piaget)
XThe dragon is the fifth animal in the zodiac cycle and is considered China’s most important cultural icon. Seen as possessing magical powers, the Chinese dragon is much more benevolent than the fire-breathing monsters of Western culture. Wise and powerful, the dragon symbolizes courage, confidence, and adventurousness, while also being seen to represent success and ambition. For BOVET, integrating the solid 18K gold dragon into the award-winning Récital 26 Chapter Two was a challenge – while the Writing Desk case provides plenty of volume, the placement of the dragon was limited to the available space between the complications — the Hour and Minute domed Dial, the World Time Hemispheric Dial with indexable city indicator, the Mother-of-Pearl Moon Phase, and, of course, the patented BOVET flying tourbillon.
First, the space the dragon could occupy was delineated by BOVET’s Technical Office, then a sculptor was commissioned to create the head and body of the solid gold dragon. Once the sculpture is cast, it then goes to the BOVET in-house hand-engravers to add the details — eyes, scales, claws, whiskers, and more — which takes between 40 and 50 hours. Then, the fiery-red ruby is set into the eye, and the complete sculpture is assembled within and around the movement.(Bovet)

XThe House of Harry Winston is celebrating the Year of the Dragon with an exceptional timepiece. For 2024, the Chinese New Year will be welcomed in a luxurious rose gold box distinguished by its crown adorned with a pearl at noon.

In a limited edition of eight watches, this magnificent, highly symbolic watchmaking creation wishes you good luck and happiness for the years to come.(Harry Winston)
XThe legend of the dragon has a long history in China. since the first emperor of the Qin dynasty, emperors have claimed that "the true dragon " represents the supreme authority. As the head of the four spirits in ancient times, it is also a symbol of good luck lucky harvey used these elements in the watch design and was the first to be able to present the "dragon spitting beads" action effect to create a trend of wrist art. with enthusiasm and rigor, we are committed to the integration of ancient culture and fashion culture. The Chinese dragon surrounds the dial, using fine carving and gorgeous coloring, with gold beads made of 999 pure gold. At the hour, the gold beads will be revealed and then slowly recycled, full of creativity and China's unique cultural atmosphere.(Lucky Harvey)
XFine watchmaking, miniature sculpture, and gemstone craftsmanship make up the Luna Magna Red Gold “Year of the Dragon”. This limited edition comprising eight pieces features an encounter between a dragon and the moon.The dragon in this element is a harbinger of calm determination, the natural ardour of the giant reptile tempered by wood. A year of questioning and control, it is also all about negotiation and generosity. These attributes coalesce to make this an eagerly-awaited year, duly celebrated by Arnold & Son with Luna Magna Red Gold “Year of the Dragon”. In the inimitable tradition of decorative horology to which Arnold & Son is deeply attached, this year is dedicated to a “Chinese Zodiac” limited edition in the Luna Magna collection. Two versions are available, each with eight pieces produced, featuring a large moon composed of red gold (5N) and onyx, face to face with an impressive dragon in the same gold. The large dial on which the dragon has landed is in fact a wide disc in the same stone as the three-dimensional moon, namely onyx. The first is blue with veining, and the second smooth, glossy and black. The off-centre dial showing the hours and minutes is in white opal, a signature Arnold & Son gemstone.(Arnold & Son)
XIn the midst of the 1990s, when traditional watchmaking was striving to recover from the sweeping influence of the quartz crisis, Chopard Co-President, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele created a workshop responsible for developing the first in-house calibre to pay tribute to the legacy of the Maison's founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard. Named L.U.C 96.01-L, the automatic micro-rotor movement, versatile and unrivalled at the time, marked the birth of Chopard Manufacture and the L.U.C. luxury watch collection. The L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Dragon boasts a 39.5 mm ethical 18-carat rose gold case and in-house L.U.C 96.17-L calibre. Each dial was crafted by master artist Minori Koizumi. Every dragon is a perfect balance of Urushi lacquer, gold powder and mother-of-pearl inlays. This precious dial is housed in an extra-thin case in ethical 18-carat rose gold, which is not only comfortable on the wrist but also offers an unparalleled level of understated elegance.(Chopard)
XA DIAL OF BLUE GRAND FEU ENAMEL WITH SUNRAY GUILLOCHÉ SHOWCASES THE SKILLS OF THE MAISON’S METIERS RARES™ ATELIER. With their elegant proportions and restrained styling, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Ultra Thin collection epitomises the sophisticated dress watch and, in 2023, it is enriched by a magnificent new interpretation of the Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel. Contrasting with the fully polished pink gold case, the blue dial of the new timepiece provides a dramatic backdrop for the tourbillon and the date display, and reflected light dances across the sunray pattern of the guillochage with every movement of the wrist. The hand-guilloché pattern is a work of immense precision and skill: each of the 180 ‘sun rays’ required six passages of the hand-operated rose engine lathe, making 1,080 lines altogether. Guided only by the eye and hand, the master guillocheur must ensure that every line is absolutely straight, evenly spaced and perfectly aligned, radiating out from the centre to the edges of the dial. In addition, the date sub-dial is hand-guilloché in a circular pattern (known in French as azurage) to create a subtle texture that contrasts with the sunray. This is another work of remarkable precision, representing more than 1,100 gestures in total by the guillocheur.(Jaeger-LeCoultre)
XAudemars Piguet unveils a new Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon limited edition created in collaboration with Haute Couture designer Tamara Ralph. Inspired by her aesthetic merging bold femininity, boundless creativity and timeless elegance, this limited edition in 18-carat pink gold shimmers with Frosted Gold and takes on a unique palette of graded hues ranging from brown and bronze to golden tones. Tiny indentations are created on the gold surface with a diamond-tipped tool, giving a sparkle effect similar to that of precious stones.
Inspired by the textured details of Tamara Ralph's Couture creations, the multi-layered dial in shades of brown, bronze and gold is finished with a continuous sunburst satin finish. The diamond-set flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock combines technical mastery with a sophisticated aesthetic, enhancing the timepiece's powerful contrasts and play of light.(Audemars Piguet)
XLongines is presenting the new CONQUEST HERITAGE CENTRAL POWER RESERVE in a 38 mm diameter case.

XThe launch of the Moon INCEPTION Creator Edition model marks a new turning point in the CODE41 adventure, as it reveals an as-yet unexplored facet of its DNA, combining classicism and elegance. An evocative name for a poetic watch, in tune with this marvelous complication, but also with the desire to conquer new horological horizons! The design, with its asymmetric partition of intertwined circles and crescents, is an ode to the poetry of watchmaking. A subtle metaphor for lunar landscapes with its craters and its grained background, the dial offers a refined visual spectacle at the crossroads of tradition and modernity. The moon and date circles form an 8, the symbol of infinity, authenticity and the entrepreneurial spirit. A scene that’s completed by the oscillating weight, engraved in stars, and a convex sapphire crystal. No doubt about it, we’ve taken the stars from the sky for you!(Code41)
XInstinctively, we seek to characterise the piece in the time-honoured way... Firstly through the figures, which make for impressive reading: 592 components, 5 years of R & D, 2 linear weights, 1 inclined tourbillon, a circular power reserve, for a model to be produced in a limited edition of just 50 pieces.(Hublot)
XNext, its indications. Here, things get a little more complicated: The MP-10 has no hands. In their place are four constantly rotating displays: the hours and minutes in the upper third of the dial, combined with an invisible magnifying glass; the circular power reserve in the central third, with a very clear green zone and red zone; and the seconds in the lower third which are indicated directly on the tourbillon cage. It is made from monobloc aluminium, suspended and inclined, and a patent application is pending for this unique mechanical configuration.(Hublot)
XThe piece has no dial: Hublot has fused the calibre with the dial. The movement is the face and soul of the watch. The gaze is drawn directly to the mechanism to read the time. The MP-10 features a highly architectural design and a particularly expressive movement built around volume and depth. Yet, this in no way interferes with reading. Instead, it makes it simpler. The time is read from top to bottom, fluidly and naturally. The power reserve is particularly expressive, with a two-tone disc (red and green) set coaxially to the hours and minutes.(Hublot)
XDesigned in collaboration with Depeche Mode, the new Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode pays tribute to the British band’s latest album and world tour, Memento Mori, vouching to live fully in the present and reflect on the value of time. This concept is symbolised on the watch by a skull motif embellished with an hourglass. For Hublot, materials are an integral part of their watches’ design. They must complement their design, while protecting their mechanism and withstand the test of time. As such, the Manufacture has chosen to use high-tech ceramic for certain bezels and cases; it is an ultra-tough and almost entirely scratch-proof material (apart from the diamond) with a base of zirconium sintered at very high temperatures.(Hublot)
XThe Pininfarina name is characterized by its rich history in design excellence and craftsmanship, developing engineering artwork for more than 90 years. BOVET echoes this ethos in horology, with generations of artisans over its 200-year history shaping incredible, meticulously detailed timepiece artistry. The APERTO 1 extends the BOVET/Pininfarina universe into the future of open-worked timepieces and deepens the contemporary aesthetic that all Pininfarina-designed BOVET timepieces share. “The relationship with BOVET is more than a collaboration as it is based on a common passion for beauty, craftsmanship and innovation, resulted in a collection of unique timepieces over the last 13 years. Today, we are proud to be next to BOVET presenting APERTO 1, the forerunner of a new chapter of the association of our values, able to express a new design language and a brand new experience for those who love timepieces as we do.”(Bovet x Pininfarina)

XCollaborating with Prop Master Doug Harlocker, Hamilton Watch assisted in bringing this uniquely hardwearing Fremen device to the big screen in “Dune: Part Two”.

Designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978, the celebrated artistic director of Hermès, the Arceau is the brand’s most equestrian-inspired watch with its signature stirrup-shaped lugs.(Hermès)
XSince 2005, Maximilian Büsser and his team have been creating other-worldly timekeeping machines, under the brand name MB & F (Maximilian Büsser & Friends). Max loves creating these insane mechanical watches, but in 2021 he decided to finally release a side project: creating more accessible timepieces, under a different label - M.A.D.Editions - but always with the crazy MB & F touch. The result was the M.A.D.1. After Blue, Red and Green editions, M.A.D.Editions announces its first Limited Edition, and its first collaboration with an external creator: the M.A.D.1 ‘Time to Love’, limited to 999 pieces, created with legendary French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac – who has infused the M.A.D.1 with his unmistakable style.(MB & F)

XFine watchmaking and equestrian emblems come together in the Arceau Duc Attelé watch. A unique limited and numbered composition combining a tourbillon with three central axes and a minute repeater with a tuning fork gong. The union of these two major complications combined with a high-frequency movement is revealed at the heart of the watch with its 43 mm case in titanium or rose gold, where each technical and stylistic detail reveals its share of the unexpected and rigorous care. The Arceau Duc Attelé watch is precisely timed by the hand-wound H1926 manufacture movement, equipped with a high-frequency balance wheel (5 Hz). Its unique decoration is revealed through a sapphire caseback. The cut of its cogs is inspired by the wheels of the “harnessed duke”: a celebration of the complicit image of the name Hermès, inspired by a drawing by Alfred de Dreux, acquired in 1920 by Émile Hermès.(Hermès)

XCHPTR_Δ is the first BA111OD manufacture watch complication: a unique timepiece that represents time in a revolutionary way. Rather than simply rotating a hand around a central axis, the movement was designed to "roll" a satellite hour wheel around a fixed central hour wheel. When a wheel is rotated around another wheel, the trajectory described by any point on this satellite wheel is a cycloid. There are several types of cycloids: in this BA111OD chapter, the chosen cycloid is a deltoid (with a ratio of 1/3), and as a result, the trajectory described by the tip of the hour hand is... a triangle. Created in collaboration with renowned watchmaker Olivier Mory, CHPTR_Δ's asymmetrical reading of time is a world premiere that promises to captivate and inspire anyone who seeks a new and unique way of reading time.(BA111OD)
XThe Freak S Nomad testifies to Ulysse Nardin’s deep love of haute horlogerie, métiers d’art and the rare handcrafts and finishing techniques that define only the most exquisite luxury watches.

It features a diamond guilloché pattern finished in sand-coloured CVD, a nod to waving sand dunes. Produced one piece at a time by a skilled artisan, the painstaking method behind it takes years to learn and perfect.(Ulysse Nardin)
XIWC’s first secular perpetual calendar automatically takes into account the Gregorian calendar’s complex leap year exceptions by skipping three leap years over a 400-year period.

The colourful tropical patterns cover the case-backs and wrap around the case sides to frame the white mother-of-pearl dials. For a jewellery look, grain-set diamonds decorate the gadroons and lugs and the winding crown is adorned with a reverse-set diamond.(Jaeger-LeCoultre)
XThe designs give full rein to the artistry and diverse skills of the Métiers Rares™ atelier, with artisans collaborating in an orchestrated process over the course of many weeks and months. An impressive illusion of depth and volume emanates from these creations using the Grand Feu Champlevé enamelling – the gold surface of the case-back is hollowed out to from the outline of the pattern, resulting in a fine gold line contouring each element of the design as well as gem-setting techniques.(Jaeger-LeCoultre)

XBreitling’s all-purpose watch for your every pursuit. The Chronomat holds a significant place in Breitling’s history.

XThe ART DECO METROPOLIS stands as a legacy from the Classic, to which I made some deep transformations. Its Modern Streamline case and dial boast a tridimensional architecture. The lug bases became rectangular geometric ornaments. Massive gold rivets and crown reminds one of the Belgian type 12 locomotives, the epitome of futuristic speed.
The sapphire is heavily beveled – a shape that is typical from the 1920’s – enabeling the possibility to slim down the cas e. This configuration allows us to fully appreciate the details and volumes of the 3-part dial, for which each material texture has been worked for enhanced contrast, depth and light. The titanium center is hand engraved, to contrast with the diamond cut radiating solid gold rays. The Art Deco font is applied to the blued circle-brushed titanium ring with railway indices on the outer rim that expand thanks to the sapphire window geometry. Alternating textures on the dial create a shimmer, underscored by brushed and polished steel geometric hands. The VH122 automatic caliber is entirely decorated using traditional methods and is made of maillechort (also called german silver), the same material used to make quality pocket watches. This metal permits a finer finishing than brass. It oxidizes very little and needs no surface coating. If needed, decorations can be redone and the beauty of the caliber will be kept during many decades of servicing.(Vianney Halter)

XPequignet unveils, at a preview showing during Watches and Wonders 2024, its first flying tourbillon, a true extraordinary horological feat. Designed for enthusiasts of French high watchmaking, it will be manufactured in a limited series of 24 pieces.
This model is equipped with the fourth Pequignet «in-house» movement: based on the prestigious Calibre Royal®’s construction, the name Calibre Royal® Tourbillon logically appeared. This rarity will only be produced in 24 pieces to celebrate its birth year: 2024. Pequignet imagined a tourbillon in its most refined, sophisticated, and horological version: a flying tourbillon! The flying tourbillon is a complex regulating mechanism. Traditionally placed at 6 o’clock, the flying tourbillon is special as it is mounted without any upper bridge, giving the impression of wearing a weightless tourbillon cage on the wrist, visually unobstructed. A nearly hypnotic wonder to observe. For this horological marvel, this 1-minute tourbillon (rotating in sixty seconds) features a concentric balance wheel in the cage. The cage itself is made of titanium, a particularly delicate metal to machine, especially for such a small component.(Pequignet)
