The majestic dragon on the dial of a new watch of HMS1 Dragon by Arnold & Son
Swiss watch manufactory Arnold & Son has introduced a new model watch HMS1 Dragon. The novelty with a black dial, on which is situated the majestically dragon, is dedicated to the symbol of 2012 year by the Chinese calendar.
A mythical creature dragon is the ancient symbol of China. In the throne room of the Imperial Forbidden City in Beijing, there are over 12,000 images of these snake-shaped beings. Bronze dragon with open mouth can also be seen at the entrance to the Summer Imperial Palace. In Beijing Beihai Park is a wall on each side of which meander 9 Dragons.
One of these dragons, made of gold, adorns the black dial of the novelty. The figure of a dragon is made entirely by hand. To show the subtle shapes of the image, the dial is covered with black lacquer. Hour markers are printed with gold plating.
The round case in pink gold is a perfect example of a traditional classic. The case has a 40-mm diameter and 30-meter water resistance.
Novelty is based on the manufacturing hand-wound caliber. The thickness of the gauge is only 2.7 mm. The mechanism is complicated by a double barrel, providing an 80-hour power reserve.
The strap of the watch is made of alligator leather and features a buckle in classic style.
