Would be a tough choice between Mr Snake and Sir Dragon.
I guess I’d go with the Dragon (in WG if being also considered here) because of the contrast of it with the deep blue dial. And I’m born on a Year of the Dragon so it would be logical, kinda giving an additional personal attachment to the watch (if it’d need any😂).
But the Snake is very compelling too, looking at how beautiful the color gradient is, and the overall work on the « back »part of the dial.
Wonderful timepieces that will never not mesmerize me.
Hello 👋 UN fans, Inspired by EdTonkin’s recent post on the enamel horse, here is my UN enamel collection of
majestic, furious and powerful respectively for Chinese zodiac dragon 🐉, serpent 🐍 and horse 🐴! These dials are all extremely well executed by Donze Cadrans (enamel dial maker and subsidiary of UN) with champleve method and the details are amazing 👍 For m...
Wow these are sensational
What high artistry, they seem more intricate than even some VC and PP equivalents. Thanks for sharing. I'd take either, but leaning towards the horse.
Thanks, the horse 🐎 dial has a
dreamy background with lots of mountains 🏔 🏔 The details are awesome ! If interested, please see photos in this post.
Very nice artwork
the Pegasus reminds of the enamel Vulcain watches, there was one as well some years ago
A marvelous collection.
I've admired UN's enamel watches. I particularly like their naval themed designs. ...
You better be ! 🙂
To be honest I’m fat from being wealthy yet BUT I’m kinda ambitious and I really love UN enamels so… it’s only gonna be a matter of hard work and time, as for many things in life !
Haha thx for the support I’m kinda on the starting blocks already))
Even tho I imagine you’ll have a whole zoo on wrist til I got my first one 😂 Once again hats off to you and your incredible trio !

Despite not liking snakes...
Despite not liking snakes, I have to say I really like the detail of this snake! The scales are done so well and the graduation from blue to green to white is done quite elegantly in my eyes. I'm not a huge fan of snakes. But this is one beautiful snake!
Yes, these enamel dials to me are similar to
horological Picasso paintings because each is hand made and is unique with different shadings , etc after firing in the kiln many times !
These are all so beautiful. How does one choose?
The craftsmanship is just stunning. The use of colors is quite brilliant. I would be hard pressed to choose. I love the Dragon! The horses I love as I own it; what I love about it is the color and faint blue green background that is almost cloud like. You...
Many thanks Ed for your kind comments !
After these three, I was thinking of collecting the whole set of 12 ! Unfortunately I did not like the motif of the goat.
Oh yes, buying Donze Cadrans was an
excellent strategic move ! Here is my earlier post on an interview with the manager of DC.
