Aesthetics

The Mystery Tourbillon Twin Dragons is a visual feast, showcasing two dragons handcarved in rose gold and meticulously lacquered, entwined around a cutting-edge mechanical heart. These miniature sculptures are set against stylized clouds, with each dragon in a ceaseless chase for the Pearl of Wisdom, symbolized by Jacob-cut spherical diamonds. The dragons' quest mirrors the passage of time, with one pursuing the minutes and the other, the hours, through rotating rings. This dynamic scene is framed by a 50mm 18k rose gold case, lavishly adorned with 192 baguette-cut and hexagonal-cut diamonds, embodying luxury and craftsmanship.

The watch is presented with a red alligator strap paired with an 18k rose gold folding buckle, ensuring that the piece stands out as a remarkable work of art and luxury
