<\/a>\nIn Chinese culture, the appearance of this reptile during chen (\u8fb0\u65f6, the time of day between 7 and 9 in the morning) is considered a sign of good luck. The golden snake-shaped seconds hand, which recalls the movement of the reptile’s tongue, symbolises circumspection and announces favourable events or the arrival of benevolent people. The constant and sinuous movement of this hand represents eternal wisdom and vitality, alluding to the idea that embracing change promotes growth.<\/p>\n
The Riviera collection\u2019s iconic dodecagonal case references both the 12 hours of the watch and the 12 terrestrial branches of the Chinese lunar calendar. The octagonal stainless steel crown is adorned with a black engraved line and the Maison\u2019s symbol, the Greek letter Phi. In Chinese culture, the number eight is considered lucky, symbolizing prosperity and stability. The micro-blasted titanium bezel, combined with gold-plated hands, numerals and indexes, conveys a sense of noble refinement and fascinating dynamism. The gold-plated flange and inner ring blend seamlessly into the geometric design of the timepiece. Riveted and gold-plated, the Roman numerals, indexes and hour and minute hands are coated in white Superluminova (C1, blue emission). The large date window at 3 o\u2019clock expresses the fine and consistent balance that Baume & Mercier has always sought.<\/p>\n The sapphire crystal caseback, secured with four stainless steel screws, features an embossed gold-plated snake, traditionally a symbol of wealth and prosperity, coiling in a sign of resilience, wisdom and protection. Together with the auspicious red circle discreetly framing the caseback, it augurs a peaceful and prosperous new year. Beneath the gold motif, the Baumatic movement is visible, with its meticulous finishes: the perl\u00e9 bridges, the micro-sandblasted plate with snailed C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve decoration, the skeleton oscillating weight with snailed C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve decoration and the exclusive Baume & Mercier engraving, all of which enhance the refinement of this model. The Baumatic movement offers exceptional precision and reliability, providing a power reserve of 5 days (120 hours). Thanks to its high performance and timeless elegance, the Riviera Year of the Snake Limited Edition watch is a faithful companion for every precious moment in life.<\/p>\n Model: Riviera 10785<\/strong> The Year of the Snake, according to the Chinese horoscope, also inspires watchmaking: Baume & Mercier presents the Riviera Chinese New Year \u2013 Year of the Snake model in a limited edition. The timepiece is available in a limited series of 200 pieces worldwide, which combines the symbolism of the snake and Swiss watchmaking. The watch aims for a harmonious fusion between oriental inspiration and modern aesthetics and is intended as a wish for a new year full of serenity and fortune. The Riviera Chinese New Year Limited Edition model stands out for its micro-sandblasted titanium bezel, which recalls the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":134087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10093],"tags":[15458],"class_list":["post-134085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-orologi","tag-orologi","style--link-1"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134085"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134085\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":134113,"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134085\/revisions\/134113"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>
