In the ever-evolving world of horology, Swiss luxury watch manufacturer, IWC Schaffhausen, is no stranger to captivating the hearts of watch enthusiasts with their innovative designs and intricate craftsmanship. This year, in celebration of the Chinese New Year, IWC has outdone itself once again by presenting a new, exclusive timepiece to mark the occasion.
Marrying the richness of oriental culture with the Swiss mastery of watchmaking, IWC Schaffhausen has artistically intertwined two vastly different worlds in one elegant design. The alluring details of the timepiece are cradled in a stainless-steel case, the dial is awash in a deep burgundy tone, a color widely recognized as a harbinger of good fortune and prosperity in Lunar New Year celebrations. This brilliant backdrop sets a stage for the gold-plated hands, hour-makers and numerals which instantly brightens the tone of the watch.
Adding to the uniqueness of the watch, is the intricate design on the backside of the watch. A magical detailing in the form of a hand-engraved dragon design is in a gold-plated case. The finish is the black calfskin strap suitable for any occasion, as well as a burgundy-hued rubber strap that gives a tonal look to the full watch.
With only 1,000 examples in circulation, the timepiece is priced at $8,450 USD and is now open for inquiry via IWC’s official website.
