To celebrate the lunar new year 2024, Louis Moinet unveiled a unique piece: The SAVANNA TOURBILLON DRAGON. This mythical creature has long been a part of traditional Chinese culture going back millennia, and is believed to bring wealth, success, and strength. The dragon, micro-painted by a virtuoso artist, now reigns supreme over the dial as a spiritual guide through life.

The tourbillon, the beating heart of this horological artwork, hovers over a disc of sumptuous imperial jade. Described by some as a dragon’s tear, jade has many symbolic meanings. Its pearly transparency emanates an aura of mystery and suggests deep wisdoms concealed within. Jade’s green hue, making it one of emerald’s only rivals, is traditionally associated with love, harmony, and health.

These exceptional works of art comes in a 40-millimeter case with well-defined, flowing curves. The lines are flowing and taut. The sapphire dome, which is a technical feat in itself, provides a full view of the fascinating details of the puzzle and tourbillon. The openworked lugs perfectly underscore the smooth integration of the bracelet.
