The Year of the Pig is going to be beautiful, as the animals are symbols of good fortune, according to Chinese beliefs.

February marks Chinese New Year, which always brings&nbsp;a new animal from the&nbsp;zodiac to celebrate&nbsp;for the next 12 months.&nbsp;Many brands decorate&nbsp;their watches&nbsp;with the annual animal symbol, and 2019 is&nbsp;the Year of the Pig. Below, see divine swine creations from some of the classiest Swiss watch houses.

Vacheron Constantin&#39;s M&eacute;tiers d&rsquo;Art The Legend Of The Chinese Zodiac series&nbsp;is different from many other watches because it has no hands. Instead, it&nbsp;shows hours, minutes, and days through four windows of a disc, a design that&nbsp;allows the artist to freely customize&nbsp;the dial space. Year of the Pig features its starring animal carved from a low-lying crown gold, with&nbsp;a&nbsp;face decorated with floral motifs resembling ancient Chinese paper cut flowers. Decorated using multi-layer coating techniques to achieve different colors as needed, this model comes in&nbsp;brown and blue.&nbsp;

For this edition of its&nbsp;Petite Heure Minute style,&nbsp;Jaquet Droz, which has an established reputation from&nbsp;inventing&nbsp;automaton mechanics, used a precise&nbsp;color painting technique to convey the pig&#39;s abundance and prosperity.&nbsp;The body is made of rose gold, and&nbsp;male models&nbsp;have a 39-millimeter diameter, while the women&#39;s models are 35 millimeters and feature diamonds. Each house is only producing 28 designs, so hurry if you want to get your hands on this limited edition watch.

Piaget&nbsp;

Since 2012, the Piaget brand has created a special Altiplano watch&nbsp;with the face featuring&nbsp;the zodiac image. For&nbsp;the Year of the Pig,&nbsp;artist Anita Porsche decorated the pig&#39;s face with&nbsp;the old technique&nbsp;of superphosphate,&nbsp;or high heat dosing,&nbsp;and decorated with diamonds around the edges. This collection&#39;s standout&nbsp;feature is the&nbsp;ultra-thin mechanism, which is part&nbsp;of Piaget&#39;s brand identity.

Chopard&nbsp;

Many&nbsp;of Chopard&#39;s best pieces are part of&nbsp;the L.U.C collection, which includes the brand&#39;s Chinese New Year series. The artisans decorate the face with the zodiac pattern in many&nbsp;ways, and for&nbsp;the Year of the Pig, the watch features Urushi, an old Japanese lacquer technique. Master Kishiro Masamura, an Urushi expert, knows the secret is adding rubber from the Urushima tree to the lacquer on the dial. He gradually decorates the design colors and gold power, using a small brush and a feather. Just as beautiful as the painting, the watch&nbsp;features a thin mechanism.
