Bovet's relationship with China go back to the 19th century, when the company specialized in exquisite, usually enameled pieces for the Far Eastern market. The present watch celebrates the ties of the watchmaking brand with the Chinese country thanks to its special dial graphics. Not only it features Chinese characters for indexes, but furthermore these characters do not represent the numbers 1 to 12, rather the Chinese Zodiac signs.
