Cintrée Curvex Ryoko Kaneta Dragon Limited Edition

For her collaboration with Franck Muller, Kaneta drew on traditional East Asian beliefs that revere the dragon as a divine figure blessing the earth with rain for a bountiful harvest. This time, however, she has opted for a simpler, more elegant variant of her style. The figures on the dial are largely in black and white, with hints of aqua blue in their hair to provide a visual link to their role as bringers of rain. The parallels extend to the similarly coloured indices, for yet another subtle nod at the dragon’s ties to the element of water. The visual cues extend to the turquoise dial, which offers a matching palette in lacquer while playing with light via its textured guilloché pattern, as a matching turquoise strap wraps things up to complete the overall package.
