Ahead of the Lunar New Year, Swiss luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer has created the Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Year of the Rabbit.

If you were born in the year of the rabbit – born in 1999, 1987, 1975for example – chances are you’re gentle, quiet, elegant, and alert as well as quick, skillful, kind, patient, and very responsible, although you might also be reluctant to reveal your minds to others and have a tendency to escape reality. Something else you might have in common is an attraction to the newest timepiece by Tag Heuer, which is dedicated to your Chinese Zodiac.

Limited to only 500 pieces, the brand’s stunning new black, red and golden chronograph is refined yet sporty and infused with delicate symbols of the cunning leporidae. The color red, present in subtle touches throughout the piece, represents luck, joy, passion and boldness since ancient times in China. Closely linked to the fire element, it is also the colour of choice to adorn the most revered spaces and possessions.
