In Chinese astrology, those born under the sign of the Dragon are celebrated for their energy, strength, confidence, intelligence, and generosity. Dragons are known to initiate grand endeavours and keep them running, promising luck, prosperity, and economic success. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And, as 2024 is a year when the Dragon reigns supreme, watch aficionados can celebrate this auspicious occasion with timepieces that capture the essence of the Wood Dragon (the Dragon representing the animal zodiac, while Wood is the element associated with the year, the others being Gold, Water, Fire and Earth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Chinese dragon, unlike its Western counterparts, is seen as a benevolent symbol, representing courage and adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n People born in the Year of the Dragon, which begins on February 9, are believed to embody these traits, and the list of famous individuals born under this zodiac sign is impressive \u2013 from John Lennon, Andy Warhol and Keanu Reeves, to Bruce Lee, Martin Luther King Jr. and Maya Angelou.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unsurprisingly, the biggest brands are keen to capitalise on watches that capture the spirit of this auspicious year. But, while the dragon takes centre stage in the world of timepieces, it\u2019s essential to recognise the cultural nuances surrounding Lunar New Year gift-giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Chinese culture, the phrase \u2018giving a clock\u2019 sounds like \u2018attending a funeral ritual\u2019 and, as an added reminder, watches literally symbolise the passing of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite these cultural taboos, however, the watch industry continues to dedicate attention to Lunar New Year releases, and collectors eagerly embrace these limited-edition treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\nArnold & Son<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
