Step into legend with the Lucky Harvey Green Lion Dance Automatic Watch — a fully mechanical luxury timepiece celebrating one of the most vivid traditions in folk performance. A hand-painted lion head sits at the centre of the dial in vibrant green, and the lion's eyes move independently throughout the day to tell the time — the LEFT eye tracks the HOUR, the RIGHT eye tracks the MINUTE. At the strike of every hour, the lion's tongue comes out from the mouth and retracts back. No batteries, no quartz — a luxury automatic lion dance watch built for collectors who appreciate folk artistry on mechanical theatre.

Lion Dance — Folk Performance on the Wrist

Lion dance is one of the most vivid traditions in folk performance — a celebration of luck, fortune, and festive energy. The Lucky Harvey Green Lion Dance brings that energy to the wrist as a luxury automatic watch with a hand-painted lion head dial in deep green tones. A luxury lion dance watch for collectors who want a folk-art-inspired wristwatch with serious mechanical credentials — a lunar festival gift watch, a folk-art collector piece, a conversation starter that means something more than the hour.

Eye-Pointer Time Display — The Lion's Eyes Tell the Time

The Green Lion Dance uses a signature Lucky Harvey eye-pointer time-reading mechanism. Both eyes move independently across the dial throughout the day: the LEFT eye points to the HOUR against the 1–12 numerals printed on the inner left arc, the RIGHT eye points to the MINUTE against the 0–60 markers (numbered every 5 minutes) on the inner right arc. Example: left eye at 6, right eye at 15 = 6:15. A time-display system you will not find on any other luxury watch brand.

The Tongue Automaton — Mechanical Theatre on the Hour

Beyond the moving eyes, at the strike of every hour the in-house automaton complication triggers and the lion's tongue comes out from the mouth, then retracts back over the following hour. Twenty-four performances a day. Combined with the continuously-moving eyes, the Green Lion Dance is one of the most active kinetic dials in the Lucky Harvey catalogue.

Hand-Painted Lion Dance Dial

The lion head is hand-painted with the vivid colour palette of traditional lion dance performance — deep greens with detailed accents that catch light from every angle. A master craftsman finishes every detail by hand, so no two Green Lion Dance dials leave the workshop exactly alike.

How to Read the Time — Luminous in the Dark

The hour numerals, the minute markers, and both moving eyes are coated with luminous material — the watch is fully readable in the dark, with the lion's eyes glowing through any low-light environment.
