As the lunar calendar ushers in the Year of the Dragon, Chronoswiss, the esteemed family-owned watchmaker situated in the picturesque city of Lucerne, unveils a horological treasure from their archives.

T

he Chronoswiss Edition Zeitzeichen “Dragon” is a narrative of time itself, forged in 18kt red gold and realized through the legendary watchmaker Gerd Rüdiger Lang, in partnership with the master of guilloche, Jochen Benzinger.

The Dragon, a symbol of power and prosperity in the rich annals of Chinese culture, is intricately integrated into the skeletonized movement, affirming a level of craftsmanship that remains unparalleled to this day. This masterpiece, originally designed in 2008 and limited to just 33 pieces, embodies the collaborative vision and exceptional skill of two masters of their craft.
