Celebrate Chinese New Year 2023 With Solvil et Titus
The Year of the Rabbit has finally arrived, and Solvil et Titus is celebrating with their latest limited edition watch release in Singapore.
Launched to celebrate Chinese New Year 2023, the latest collection draws inspiration from the 醒狮 XingShi style of lion dance traditionally seen in Singapore.
The 醒狮 is a form of lion dance that originated in Southern China (which is where many Singaporean Chinese’s forefathers came from!), and usually involves just one lion along with an accompanying musical troupe and other performers. The lion is considered to bring good luck and fortune to those who watch it, and can be commonly seen in celebrations around Singapore during the Chinese New Year period.
Solvil et Titus’ collection honours the detail-oriented intricacy of the 醒狮 making process, which also echoes the watchmaker’s tireless dedication to precision and master craftsmanship. Clear and distinct design elements inspired by lion dance heads are present in each and every timepiece, and the release of this collection conveys auspiciousness, prosperity, good luck, and good fortune for the new year to watch collectors and enthusiasts alike.
