Celebrating the upcoming Year of the dragon, Baume & Mercier launches the Riviera Chinese New Year Limited Edition – Year of the Dragon comes in an exclusive pair: the Riviera Year of the Dragon Limited Edition, Baumatic Moon-phase Date – 10744 for men and the Riviera Year of the Dragon Limited Edition, Automatic - 10743 for women.

Both models are available in limited quantities of 150 pieces worldwide. The men’s timepiece features a distinctive dodecagonal case which houses a high-performance Baumatic manufacture movement inside. An auspicious creature in Chinese folklore, the five-clawed dragon unfurls its majestic aura on the case back as well as the intricately adorned moon phase sub-dial, heralding a new year of success and good blessings.

Prominently located at 6 o'clock on the dial of the Year of the Dragon Limited Edition – Riviera Baumatic Moon-phase Date 10744, 43mm, the moon phase indicator is adorned with a gilded dragon, which represents Yang, and a gilded moon as a symbol of Yin, in a subtle nod to the ancient Chinese philosophy that harmony is created through the union of Yin and Yang. A majestic golden dragon claws at a pair of moons which rotate slowly to display the actual moon’s phase cycle in the sky.
