Seagull Loong Resonance Three-in-One Tourbillon
Resonance of Antiquity: The Seagull Bronze-Loong-Head-Qing-Inspired Timepiece
The intricate pattern around the dial is inspired by the bronze Loong Head from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties (1600bc-256bc), an ancient Chinese instrument known as the Qing (磬), a type of bell used in ceremonial music. The Qing often used during rituals to produce harmonious tones and symbolize the cosmic balance. This design is drawn from the Sanxingdui site in Chengdu, where the Qing was unearthed, reflecting the profound cultural heritage of ancient China.
This watch’s unique aesthetic blends history with modernity. The dial design, infused with the patterns of this ancient instrument, offers a striking visual connection to Chinese culture. Combining the symbolism of the Qing with Seagull’s innovative mechanical movements, this timepiece becomes a true masterpiece. It captures the essence of China’s rich legacy while embracing the future of horology, making it an exceptional blend of artistry, precision, and cultural resonance.
A Masterpiece of Complexity and Chinese Heritage
The Watch is named for its three complex functions: a tourbillon, minute repeater, and perpetual calendar. With 435 finely crafted components, this watch embodies the pinnacle of horological technology, representing the finest craftsmanship in watchmaking.
