Craftsmanship Series Red Enamel Chiming Snake Limited Edition Automatic Watch

Step into legend with the Lucky Harvey Red Enamel Chiming Snake — a fully mechanical Year of the Snake timepiece limited to 100 pieces worldwide. The serpent is hand-engraved on red enamel and hand-painted in further enamel layers, a craftsmanship technique that few independent watchmakers still attempt. At the strike of every hour, the snake's tongue flicks out and strikes a visible gong inside the dial — producing a clear, audible chime you can both see and hear. This is the Lucky Harvey hour repeater complication at its most theatrical: automaton motion + audible chime in a single hourly performance. The showpiece of the Lucky Harvey Craftsmanship + Chiming Series — a kinetic-and-musical complication you will not find in any other luxury watch brand at this price.

Limited to 100 Pieces Worldwide — Individually Numbered

The Lucky Harvey Red Enamel Chiming Snake is produced in a strict edition of 100 watches worldwide — each numbered individually, each hand-finished, each one unrepeatable. When a piece is sold, it cannot be remade. The combination of vivid red enamel artistry, the Lucky Harvey in-house movement, and the automaton-with-hour-repeater complication makes this the most coveted Snake in the Craftsmanship Series. A statement Year of the Snake watch for collectors who want their wristwatch to be the rarest thing in the room.

The Chiming Automaton — Tongue Strikes Gong on the Hour

The Red Enamel Chiming Snake carries a complication that combines two of the rarest features in luxury watchmaking: a kinetic automaton AND a mechanical hour repeater. At every hour, the snake's tongue flicks out, strikes a visible gong embedded in the dial, and the gong produces a clear, audible chime — the kind of haute-horlogerie sound traditionally reserved for five-figure independent watches. The tongue then slowly retracts back into the mouth over the next sixty minutes. Twenty-four chimes a day. Twenty-four mechanical performances. All driven by the Lucky Harvey in-house movement.

Hand-Engraved on Enamel, Hand-Painted in Enamel

The dial is finished using an enamel-on-enamel craftsmanship technique that is among the most demanding in the watchmaking world. The serpent is first hand-engraved into a layer of red enamel — every scale, every claw, every detail carved by hand — then hand-painted with further enamel layers to bring out colour and depth. The result is a dial with three-dimensional artistry impossible to mass-produce. Each Red Enamel Snake is unique.

Chiming Series + Craftsmanship Series — Both at Once

The Red Enamel Chiming Snake is one of the rare Lucky Harvey watches that belongs to two series simultaneously — the Chiming Series (hour repeater complications traced back to the founding Sound of Nature collection) and the Craftsmanship Series (hand-engraved enamel and artisan dial work). Combined with the Lucky Harvey in-house movement and the strict 100-piece worldwide cap, it is among the single rarest watches in the Lucky Harvey catalogue.

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

The Red Enamel Chiming Snake uses a signature Lucky Harvey dual-dot time display instead of conventional hands. Two white reading dots travel around the inner edge of the dial: the LEFT dot indicates the HOUR (numerals 1–12 on the inner left arc), and the RIGHT dot indicates the MINUTE (markers 0–60, numbered every 5 minutes, on the inner right arc). Example: left dot between 8 and 9, right dot on 20 = 8:20. The hour numerals, the minute markers, and both reading dots are coated with luminous material — fully legible in the dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an hour repeater?

An hour repeater is a striking complication that produces an audible chime at every hour. It is one of the rarest complications in independent watchmaking, traditionally found only in five-figure timepieces. On the Lucky Harvey Red Enamel Chiming Snake, the hour repeater is triggered by the snake's tongue striking a visible gong inside the dial — the only complication in the Lucky Harvey catalogue that combines an audible hour repeater with a kinetic automaton on a single dial.

How many Red Enamel Chiming Snakes were made?

Limited to 100 pieces worldwide — each individually numbered and hand-finished. Once the 100 pieces are sold, the edition is closed.

What movement powers this watch?

The Red Enamel Chiming Snake is powered by a Lucky Harvey in-house mechanical movement, engineered specifically to drive the automaton tongue and hour repeater complications together. Fully automatic, self-winding from natural wrist motion, with a 40-hour power reserve and 28,800 vibrations per hour.

How loud is the chime?

The chime is mechanical and audible — clear in a quiet room, audible across a desk, intentionally restrained for sophisticated wear. It is not a loud alarm; it is a precision mechanical sound timed to each hour.

Is the snake made of real enamel?

Yes. The serpent is hand-engraved into a layer of vivid red enamel and hand-painted with further enamel layers — an artisan technique among the most demanding in the watchmaking world. Each piece is unique.

How is this related to the Sound of Nature Chiming series?

Both watches share the hour repeater complication and trace their mechanical lineage to the founding Sound of Nature Chiming Series — Lucky Harvey's original chiming watches. The Red Enamel Chiming Snake adds the kinetic automaton (tongue strikes gong) and the enamel-on-enamel craftsmanship, making it the most complex chiming watch in the catalogue.

How do I read the time on the dual-dot dial?

The left dot points to the hour (1–12, inner left arc); the right dot points to the minute (0–60, numbered every 5 minutes, inner right arc). Example: left dot between 8 and 9, right dot on 20 = 8:20.

Does the Red Enamel Chiming 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.
