Gebson Sky and Earth Dragon Watch

Gebson is a new Swiss watch brand out of Neuchatel. The goal of the brand will be to mix fine art with traditional watch making and to capture beautiful cultural art in modern timepieces. This is not the only time such an approach has been taken, but there is so much applicable art out there that it is a market barely tapped. Gebson can literally go to the history and culture of any society and start to pick and choose images that would look good replicated on a watch dial.

This watch is part of Gebson's new Sky and Earth collection which currently has two models. This is the dragon, and is named as such for good and obvious reason. Along side what looks like red enamel, a gold engraved oriental dragon is finely rendered along with a burst of flame around the date dial that is meant to represent the sun (Sky). The Earth part of of the collection is a tiger features on another watch. The watch case looks to be in 18k yellow gold, while the bezel is covered in diamonds and likely rubies. Aside from the seconds hand, I would like for the hands to be longer, and enjoy more contrast with the dial. Aside from that it is a nice watch if you enjoy the style.
