The dials are decorated with very poetic and artistic plots depicting the main components of the world according to ancient legends and myths, as well as the philosophical teachings of the East.

The resin lacquer of an amazing wood is combined with a metal powder, and then the pattern is covered with gold dust from 18k rose gold. All the work is done with special tools: bamboo rods and brushes made of rat hair. Nine watches were created using this technique, which formed the basis of the creative collection, which became the most artistic in the history of the Chopard brand.
