Invite Prosperity and Good Fortune into Your Lives with these Red-Themed Watches

Invite Prosperity and Good Fortune into Your Lives with these Red-Themed Watches - Cortina Watch Singapore

Ever since we can remember, the colour red has always been synonymous with the Chinese New Year. But do you know the reason why? According to Chinese mythology, during the new year, a beast with a body of an ox and a lion’s head called Nian would come out to eat the crops and livestock of the villagers. Nian was only afraid of three things fire and noise, which is why we have firecrackers and lion dances, and also the colour red. This is why the Chinese New Year is filled with this colour and has since been associated with prosperity and happiness. In continuing this tradition, we offer you a selection of watches that comes in this auspicious colour.

Cartier Panthère Crash

Cartier Panthère Crash

Celebrating the rebirth of the Cartier’s iconic Crash watch, they have given it the Panthère treatment. For this watch, two of Cartier’s panthers seem to have a firm bite on the unorthodox shape of the Crash case. One of the heads appears fierce while the other meek. And with Cartier’s reputation as a jeweller, it comes as no surprise that both heads and the case are fully diamond-paved.

H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Centre Seconds Swiss Mad Red

H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Centre Seconds Swiss Mad Red

It is amazing how one colour can be interpreted in so many ways. Here it is seen used in the red fumé dial that has become synonymous with H. Moser & Cie. As its name suggests, the watch offers a centre seconds hand, something of a rarity among Moser’s watches, powered by the HMC 200 movement. This movement was developed and produced in-house with a regulating organ manufactured by Moser’s sister company, Precision Engineering AG.

Bvlgari LVCEA

Bvlgari LVCEA

Bvlgari celebrates the Lunar New Year by giving their classic LVCEA watch the red treatment. To accompany the white mother-of-pearl dial set with diamond indexes, the case is made from 18 kt rose gold while the strap is in burgundy alligator leather. For the final touch of red, the crown is also adorned with synthetic cabochon-cut rubellite and a diamond.

OMEGA De Ville Trésor

OMEGA De Ville Trésor

Launched last year the new De Ville Trésor collection from OMEGA offers even more feminine beauty to its fans. These watches are made to empower female watch lovers, offering a choice of 36mm or 39mm cases, breaking the stereotype of small watches for women. Each watch comes with 38 full-cut diamonds, arranged as a curve along the sides of the case with an additional diamond on each crown, sitting within a flower made of red liquid ceramic.

Zenith Elite Classic

Zenith Elite Classic

It is no easy feat to give minimalist watches a sense of brand identity but it seems Zenith has managed to do just that with their Elite Classic collection. It takes its design cues from the simplistic nature of bygone eras, and update it with just enough modern appeal so it never feels like an antique. The dial offers a radiant sunburst pattern enhanced by tapered hour markers that are faceted and polished. The hands are sharp and slim “Dauphine” shaped hands, a nostalgic nod to Zenith timepieces from the mid-20th century.
