Pearl Dragon - 38mm Swiss Automatic
How to Measure Your Wrist
In order to select the correct band length for your wrist, you'll need to know your wrist size.
Measure your wrist with a soft tape measure around the part of your wrist that you like to wear your watch.
If you don't have a soft tape measure handy, you can measure it by wrapping a piece of string or ribbon around the part of your wrist that you like to wear your watch. Mark the length and measure it with a ruler in inches. This is your wrist size.
If your wrist size falls in between 2 lengths (ie. a 6.25" or 7.0" wrist), you have to know your preference - would you enjoy a shorter band with less tail, or a longer band with more tail?
Depending on your style, remember to consider if you like to wear your watch looser in the Summer than in the Winter.

The Pearl Dragon is an automatic dragon inspired timepiece made for women. Rare in the world, you will be hard-pressed to find another handcrafted dragon watch made for women.
In celebration of the Year of the Dragon, this stunning 20-piece inlay timepiece was brought to life. Each piece is carefully hand placed on the dial in tribute to this mythological creature. A true work of art, it is durable enough to wear everyday and dressy too, for special occasions.
See our blog post on how this watch was created.
--------------------------
This design uses four different types of abalone shell.
- The type of abalone used for the dragon is called Angel Wing. It's tinted purple and sparkles wildly in the light.
- The yellow in the mane and olive under her chin are traditional Paua abalone from New Zealand that are tinted yellow and olive. Her eye is also Paua abalone but natural in color.
- The scales on the belly are pink heart abalone which is a type that lives in Mexico.
- Her eyebrow is black-lip abalone from the Philippines.
Her tongue, horns, and teeth are metal pieces to provide extraordinary detail right where it was needed.
Three amethyst crystals adorn the top of the dial as time markers.
-----------------------------
The 38mm stainless steel case has a high polish finish and a screw-down crown. The sapphire crystal case-back reveals a Swiss 26 jewel automatic-winding STP caliber 1-11 with a customized Celeste rotor inside.
Comes standard with a butterfly buckle and certificate of authenticity.
Sustainability
Our mechanical watches embrace sustainability, art and longevity. In a nutshell, mechanical watches are made to last. They are designed to be repaired instead of replaced. With proper care and cleaning, they can outlast generations. Take a look at any watch museum and you’ll find timepieces from the 1700’s ticking away.
Mechanical watches are also considered eco-friendly because they use a renewable energy source (the movement of your wrist) for power. They don’t require batteries but it’s a good idea to have the inside of the watch cleaned and relubricated every 5 years or so to keep it running smoothly.
In regards to sustainability, another advantage of purchasing a Swiss Celeste automatic is that not only are the dials handcrafted here but the watches are assembled and regulated here in Oregon too. Any needed servicing down the line will be done here. Compared to having an Omega, Rolex or other Swiss brand serviced, the process is greener because you don’t have to send your watch overseas (or wait 3-6 months for its return) which minimizes the carbon footprint of having your watch serviced.
AUTOMATIC WINDING SWISS STP CALIBER 1-11 MOVEMENT
Power Reserve
The STP Caliber uses a longer and thinner mainspring resulting in a boosted power reserve of 44 hours - almost two days.
Accuracy
STP1-11 has an accuracy of -3s to +7s/day, resulting in a maximum variation of 10 seconds/day. On the wrist this would result in an on wrist performance of +/- 2 to 4 seconds as per research done by WatchGuy (Read the review).
Jewels
The STP1-11 features 26 jewels. This extra jewel is used to support the top of the barrel arbor. The barrel bridge can easily wear out so having a jewel here increases the longevity.
Rotor
Customized Celeste rotor with Côtes de Genève finish. Perfect for this exhibition case back.
