We're Celebrating the Chinese New Year With Watches Honoring the Year of the Rooster

Chinese communities around the world are preparing to launch their New Year celebrations, as they welcome in the Year of the Rooster (which takes over for the Year of the Monkey). The rooster is a proud bird, known for his consistency, reliability, confidence and vocal assets. With the new zodiac sign in place, several watch brands have honored the Year of the Rooster with artistic renditions for the wrist.



Vacheron Constantin, for instance, has released two renditions of its Métiers d’Art “Legend of the Chinese Zodiac” watches. The watches have no hands, so the time is depicted via a technically advance mechanical movement that shows the hours, minutes, day and date via apertures on the dial. This design gives ample space to the rooster, which is carved, enameled and engraved in all its glory. The watch is offered in 18-karat white gold against a blue Grand Feu enamel dial and also in 18-karat rose gold against a copper-colored Grand Feu enamel dial. Only 12 pieces of each version will ever be made.



Additionally, Chopard continues its tradition of releasing the Chinese zodiac series of Urushi painted watches. This year, the brand uses an ultra-thin movement in its L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Rooster watch, created in a limited edition of 88 pieces. The Urushi technique is an ancient Japanese art and combines hand painting with lacquer made from sap of the Urushi tree, with mother-of-pearl dials.
