It appears that more and more luxury designers are targeting China and Japan for their luxury launches. It seems as though designers are catching on to the fact that China has more affluent citizens than the U.S. Luxury watch manufacturer, Piaget, is specifically targeting China with the launch of their newest luxury watch campaign.
The new collection of watches with celebrate the year of the Dragon and Phoenix with limited edition time pieces that will include over 20 models for both men and women. The Phoenix and the Dragon are traditional representations of the Chinese years. And both are common symbols often associated with the Chinese culture. They are easy to recognize and have great meaning to some. A few of the new luxury timepiece models include the Piaget Emperador XL, Piaget Altiplano and the Limelight Twice.
The Piaget Emperador XL is only going to be made available in 8 pieces. The timepiece will feature an 18K pink gold case that is hand engraved with a dragon design and set with 257 brilliant cut diamonds. The luxury timepiece will have a grey alligator leather strap.
