When we set out to create this timepiece, we didn’t just see a watch—we saw a myth coming to life. Gazing at the base movement, we envisioned the head of a dragon emerging from the balance bridge, with the barrel bridge unfurling like majestic wings. This marked the birth of the Dragonborn project.

Our vision was clear: to craft a dragon-inspired watch that whispered its power rather than shouted it. Like a true masterpiece, the Dragon reveals itself gradually—its essence hidden in the details, waiting to be discovered by those who know how to look. The dragon’s head, embodied in the balance bridge, is revealed both on the caseback and proudly at 12 o’clock on the dial. This miniature sculpture is a feat of haute horlogerie, boasting a record-breaking 42 hand-finished inner angles.

From 1 to 11 o’clock on the reverse, the bridges form a sweeping silhouette of the dragon’s wings, their curves echoing motion and grace. Even the ratchet and crown wheels bear the mark of the beast—cut in the intricate pattern of dragon scales.

On the dial side, the wings continue their arc from 10 o’clock, culminating in a claw and talon striking at 5 o’clock—a subtle nod to the creature’s fierce elegance.

The two-level dial draws inspiration from dragon teeth and claws, with each index individually polished by hand. Every surface tells a story. Every angle speaks of craftsmanship. With over 300 inner angles meticulously hand-finished—extending even to the skeletonized case lugs—this watch is not only a tribute to a mythical being, but a triumph of artisanal watchmaking.
