Step into legend with the Lucky Harvey Green Snake Automatic Watch — a fully mechanical Year of the Snake timepiece for collectors who want to wear a story, not a logo. A hand-carved serpent coils across the dial in deep jade green, hand-painted scale by scale on a 925 sterling silver base. Every hour, the snake flicks out its tongue in a slow, theatrical mechanical reveal you can watch unfold on your wrist. Twenty-four performances a day. No batteries, no quartz — a luxury automatic snake watch built for men who appreciate independent watchmaking.

The Year of the Snake, Worn

The snake is one of the most enigmatic symbols in lunar zodiac mythology — an emblem of wisdom, transformation, and quiet power. Jade green has signified renewal and growth across Eastern luxury traditions for centuries. The Lucky Harvey Green Snake is the luxury snake watch that brings the two together: a 43mm 316L stainless steel case, a hand-painted enamel dial, and a sculpted three-dimensional serpent that turns a wristwatch into a wearable conversation piece. Whether you were born in a Snake year, are buying for someone who was, or simply want a Year of the Snake watch that means more than a date stamp, this is a luxury automatic watch that says it without saying a word.

The Automaton Tongue — Mechanical Theatre on the Hour

Most luxury watches tell time. The Green Snake performs. Built into the dial is an in-house automaton complication — a kinetic mechanism that triggers on the hour. The snake opens its mouth and flicks its tongue out in a sudden theatrical reveal, then slowly retracts the tongue back over the next sixty minutes in a hypnotic motion. This is the kind of automaton mechanical watch traditionally reserved for five-figure independent timepieces. Lucky Harvey brings it within reach as a luxury automatic snake watch under $2,000 — a collector kinetic dial watch with mechanical theatre built into every hour.

925 Sterling Silver Base, Hand-Painted Jade Green Finish

The serpent is sculpted in 925 sterling silver as its structural base — the foundation that gives the dial its three-dimensional depth and weight. A master craftsman then hand-engraves every scale and curve, and the entire serpent is finished in deep jade green enamel, hand-painted layer by layer. Only the Silver Snake variant in this series leaves the natural sterling silver exposed; on the Green Snake, the silver substrate is fully covered by hand-painted enamel that gives the serpent its colour and character. No two Green Snakes leave the workshop exactly alike — each one is hand-finished as part of the Lucky Harvey Craftsmanship Series.

How to Read the Time — Dual-Dot Display, Luminous in the Dark

The Green Snake uses a signature Lucky Harvey dual-dot time display instead of conventional hands — a unique time-reading system you will not find on any other luxury watch brand. Two white reading dots travel around the inner edge of the dial: the LEFT dot indicates the HOUR (read from the 1–12 numerals on the inner left arc), and the RIGHT dot indicates the MINUTE (read from the 0, 5, 10, 15… 60 markers on the inner right arc). Example: left dot between 2 and 3, right dot on 30 = 2:30. The hour numerals, the minute markers, and both reading dots are coated with luminous material — fully legible in the dark, on the wrist, without a backlight.

Genuine Snake-Leather Strap — Real Scales You Can Feel

The Green Snake comes paired with a strap unlike any other in luxury watchmaking — genuine snake-skin leather with real raised scales you can actually feel under your fingertips. The strap completes the snake theme from dial to wrist, with a fluororubber inner layer (hypoallergenic, antibacterial) for comfort in heat and humidity. The contoured cut wraps the wrist closely; unlike conventional leather watch straps that twist when you move, the Lucky Harvey snake-leather strap stays in place. 22mm strap width, signature pin buckle closure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Lucky Harvey Green Snake a real mechanical watch?

Yes. It is a fully automatic mechanical watch — self-winding from natural wrist motion, 40-hour power reserve, 28,800 vibrations per hour, no batteries. Powered by a Lucky Harvey in-house automatic caliber.

Is the snake made of real 925 silver?

Yes. The serpent is sculpted from 925 sterling silver as its structural base — the foundation that gives the dial its three-dimensional depth. On the Green Snake, the silver is then hand-engraved and finished in jade green enamel by a master craftsman. The silver provides the sculpture and the form; the enamel provides the colour. The Silver Snake variant is the only one that leaves the natural sterling silver exposed.

What does the automaton tongue do?

At the strike of every hour, the snake's tongue flicks out in a sudden theatrical motion. It then slowly retracts back into the mouth over the next sixty minutes. This happens 24 times a day, driven entirely by the in-house mechanical movement — no batteries, no electronics.

How do I read the time on the Lucky Harvey Green Snake?

The watch uses a dual-dot reading system instead of hands. The left dot points to the hour (numerals 1–12 on the inner left arc); the right dot points to the minute (markers 0–60, numbered every 5 minutes, on the inner right arc). Read left dot first, then right dot. Example: left dot between 2 and 3, right dot on 30 = 2:30.

Does the Green Snake glow in the dark?

Yes. The hour numerals, the minute markers, and both reading dots are coated with luminous material — the watch is fully readable at night without any backlight or button press.

Is the strap really made from snake skin?

Yes — the Green Snake comes paired with a genuine snake-leather strap with real raised scales you can feel under your fingertips. The outer layer is real snake skin; the inner layer is hypoallergenic, antibacterial fluororubber for comfort and durability.

Can I shower or swim with the Green Snake?

The Green Snake has 3 ATM water resistance — safe for hand-washing, rain, and incidental splashes. We do not recommend swimming, diving, or hot showers.

Is the Green Snake a limited edition collector watch?

Yes. Each Lucky Harvey Snake belongs to the Craftsmanship Series and is hand-finished individually — no two are exactly alike. This is an independent watchmaker collector edition.

Why buy direct from luckyharvey.com instead of a reseller?
