<p><em>With the Lunar New Year celebrations just around the corner, take a look at some of the most festive timepieces crafted as homage to the Year of the Dragon</em></p>
<h2>Grand Seiko</h2>
<p>What makes the SBGH323 Limited Edition Red Dragon Automatic Hi-Beat 36000 so interesting is that this watch is a classic <a href="https://daman.co.id/tag/grand-seiko/">Grand Seiko</a> design that presents rays on a beautiful red dial representing the year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. The SBGH323 has a particularly dark red/burgundy radial patterned dial appropriately nicknamed “Red Dragon” with a golden second-hand as a contrasting element, designed to represent the dragon, also known as “Tatsu-doshi.” Beneath this visually captivating composition, the watch is completed by the 9S85 calibre from the Shizukuishi Watch Studio in Iwate Prefecture.</p>

<h2>Blancpain</h2>
<p>At its core, the <a href="https://daman.co.id/tag/blancpain/">Blancpain</a> Villeret Traditional Chinese Calendar is a grand complication timepiece that features a dragon engraved on the red gold winding rotor in honor of the new lunar year. Also notable is how the brand combined red gold with a green enamel dial. Set against a frosted background, the timepiece’s red gold winding rotor features this year’s animal, the dragon, flanked by a red ruby and engravings of the Chinese characters for “dragon” and “wood”—the elements of 2024. The Chinese calendar’s mysticism is displayed with an array of four dedicated hands, a Zodiac window, and a leap month window</p>

<h2>IWC Schaffhausen</h2>
<p><a href="https://daman.co.id/tag/iwc-schaffhausen/">IWC Schaffhausen</a> rings in the Lunar New Year with a special edition timepiece: the Portugieser Chronograph Year of the Dragon. Housed in a 41mm stainless steel case, the watch features a burgundy dial complemented by gold-plated hands and appliques. Interestingly, the brand showcases a lovely shade of red in the dial because, in China, burgundy is the festive color that represents fire and is associated with longevity and good fortune. On the flip side, if you glance at the movement through the transparent sapphire caseback, you’ll discover another highlight of the watch: the gold-plated rotor of the automatic winding system on the IWC manufactured 69355 calibre, which takes the form of a beautifully detailed dragon.</p>

<h2>MONTBLANC</h2>
<p><a href="https://daman.co.id/tag/montblanc/">MONTBLANC</a> ushers in another happy and prosperous Chinese New Year with elegance and style as the maison presents its 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen South Pole Exploration Limited Edition 1990. As the name implies, the watch’s ultralight 42mm titanium case devoid of oxygen. The brand’s zero oxygen technology helps eliminate fogging and prevents oxidization. As it draws inspiration from the fearless explorations of the Antarctic continent, the watch features an iced blue dial with a sfumato effect. The resulting design evokes the hazy view of the horizon as seen from the world’s highest mountaintops. At the same time, the case-back showcases a 3D-engraved vista, capturing the beauty of the South Pole and the ethereal Aurora Australis.</p>

<h2>Longines</h2>
<p>MANY watch brands view the Chinese New Year as the perfect moment to create a limited-edition watch adorned with one of the twelve zodiac animals. One such brand is <a href="https://daman.co.id/tag/longines/">Longines</a>. The winged-hourglass brand unveiled its special edition for the Year of the Dragon in 2024 titled the Flagship Heritage Moonphase Year of the Dragon. Longines invited renowned Chinese artist Zinan Lam to create a special design for this watch. It features an engraved dragon with its head raised as it soars upwards across the caseback. As the first Asian Zodiac timepiece ever to be launched by the brand, the watch is limited to only 888 pieces.</p>

<h2>Corum</h2>
<p>THE DRAGON is a powerful symbol in Chinese culture, embodying power, nobility, honor, luck and success. For the upcoming year of the dragon, <a href="https://daman.co.id/tag/corum/">Corum</a> presents the limited-edition Bubble Dragon as homage to this legendary creature. The centerpiece of this creation is the elaborate dial, which evokes a deep night sky with a black sunray base evoking the night, adorned with a delicate representation of the moon made of mother-of-pearl. And it’s particularly awe-inspiring to see the golden dragon hover majestically above the dial between the mystical black clouds.</p>
