Symbol of Eternal Heritage: Intricate Celestial Pillar Relief Dial
The heart of this timepiece lies in its dial, where the Huabiao—China’s ancient totem of wisdom and guardianship—is reborn in breathtaking relief. Inspired by the Han Dynasty’s iconic marble pillars, the sculpture captures every detail: the coiled dragons ascending toward the heavens, the flowing clouds symbolizing prosperity, and the "Heavenward Roar" statue standing vigilant. This intricate craftsmanship honors over 2,000 years of cultural legacy, transforming the watch into a wearable monument. Each curve and line is hand-finished, ensuring the relief radiates depth and dynamism. For collectors, it’s not just a dial—it’s a connection to the ingenuity of ancient artisans and a celebration of China’s unbroken lineage.
Timeless Brilliance: Diamond Hour Markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12
At the cardinal hours, four brilliant diamonds transform time into a spectacle of light. Precision-set in 18K gold settings, these stones catch every ray, creating a play of radiance that mirrors the Huabiao’s enduring symbolism. The diamonds’ flawless clarity and fire evoke the purity of ancient jade carvings, while their placement at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock forms a celestial cross—an ode to balance and eternity. More than mere embellishments, they symbolize moments frozen in perfection, much like the Huabiao’s timeless guardianship over history. Paired with sword-shaped hands, the design harmonizes boldness and refinement, making every glance at the wrist a reminder of humanity’s quest for immortality through art.
Gold Bezel – The Meeting of Time and History
The rich golden bezel complements the solemnity of the Huabiao motif, creating a seamless fusion of tradition and modernity. Like the ripples of time blending into the flow of history, this golden frame whispers ancient and timeless stories.
Heart of Precision: In-House Automatic Movement
Powered by Seagull’s proprietary ST25 movement, crafted through 270 steps over 200 days, this mechanical marvel ensures ±5s/day accuracy. A testament to Chinese engineering, its skeletonized rotor and Geneva stripes celebrate the artistry behind reliability.
Art Unveiled: Exhibition Case Back & Master Engraving
Turn the watch over to admire the transparent case back, where the master watchmaker’s signature is engraved, marking each timepiece as a work of art. Each engraving is a personal stamp of excellence, turning mechanics into poetry and ownership into legacy.
