The warm-patina bronze case houses, beneath its crown-opened cover, a white dial adorned with classical numeral indices whose readability has never sacrificed elegance. The cover's surface, sculpted with a dragon whose scales are finely worked, invokes Oriental symbolism with a restraint that bestows upon this vintage dragon pocket watch all its dignity. Drawing your thumb across the crown, feeling the click of the cover as it opens, discovering the dial — this discreet ritual is the very signature of great covered-case timepieces. A presence at the wrist or in the pocket that defies explanation: it is simply felt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Art of Distinction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBearing a thousand-year-old symbol — the dragon, guardian of wisdom in Oriental arts — distilled in the bronze of a pocket watch one removes in silence, where others would remove their telephone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA piece to pass down: bronze develops over time a living patina, memory of the hands that have held it, promise of the legacy one leaves behind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe covered-case system protects the dial from shocks and light, prolonging the clarity of the glass and the integrity of the dial over time — functionality as an extension of the care one brings to beautiful things.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnisex by design, this Oriental dragon pocket watch transcends gender and style, equally at home slipped into the pocket of a waistcoat as suspended as a necklace over a dark dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Wear the Dragon Pocket Watch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe men's dragon pocket watch finds its natural place in the upper pocket of a three-piece suit waistcoat, the chain pendant in a discreet arc across the wool — a nod to nineteenth-century British elegance, reinterpreted through Asian motifs.
