Seagull Qin Ultra-Thin Tourbillon Watch: Time Resonates Like Strings
“Without its grain, the guqin is but lifeless earth.” Inspired by this ancient wisdom, the Seagull Ultra-Thin Tourbillon captures the soul of the guqin in every detail. Its dial reveals delicate crackled textures, evoking centuries of cultural resonance, while sculpted indices echo the refined curves of the famed “Nine Heavens Resonance” guqin. Measuring only 9.4mm, the case embodies elegance in restraint, merging technical mastery with poetic subtlety. More than a timepiece, it is a meeting of past and present — a whisper of ancient strings, a symbol of enduring grace, and an ode to the timeless spirit of the East.

The Art of Eastern Slimness
Seagull’s self-developed ST8610 automatic movement is a masterpiece of engineering and philosophy. At just 4.3mm thick—no more than two stacked coins—it embodies the essence of restraint and refinement. Its ultra-thin automatic rotor measures only 0.8mm, 20% slimmer than conventional manual-wind calibers. Every reduction, precise to 0.1mm, reflects a pursuit of balance: subtracting excess to reveal purity. This is not simply a movement; it is an expression of Eastern aesthetics, where elegance is found in subtlety, and “thin” is redefined as strength wrapped in grace.

Precision that Endures
Within its impossibly slim architecture, the ST8610 integrates automatic winding, a high-energy tourbillon, and long-lasting power. Through meticulously recalculated gear curves, energy loss is minimized, allowing microsecond-level accuracy to coexist with endurance. The result: a robust 43-hour power reserve, a stable 28,800 vibrations per hour, and 34 ruby bearings to ensure reliability. It is a harmony of performance and artistry—where durability, accuracy, and innovation unite. This is more than just a watch movement; it is the assurance that your timepiece will keep pace with your life, day after day, with unwavering precision.

Tourbillon without Compromise
At the heart of this creation lies the eccentric tourbillon with a no-regulator design—an innovation that eliminates the friction of traditional balance adjusters. The outcome is revolutionary: timekeeping accuracy and movement longevity increased by 30%. Each rotation of the tourbillon resonates like the pulse of a living heartbeat, transforming the confines of millimeters into a realm of infinite energy. It is both the soul and engine of the watch, unleashing powerful performance in the slimmest possible form, and proving that true strength often hides in subtle spaces.

A Symphony of Light and Craft
Every detail of this timepiece is a canvas of artistry. The front dial radiates with layered fish-scale guilloché, rippling from the center like waves glistening under shifting light—an endless mechanical galaxy in motion. Turn it over, and the Geneva stripes evoke rhythmic order, while the plates shimmer with three-dimensional depth. Seagull’s signature V-shaped rotor embodies symmetry, poise, and balance. Like a guqin resting silently, its strings unplayed yet resonant with harmony, the watch reflects beauty before motion, and rhythm even in stillness. This is craftsmanship elevated to poetry, capturing light, time, and artistry in one.

Time Etched Like Ancient Strings
The dial is crafted with fine micro-engraving, recreating the unique “crack patterns” of the Chinese guqin. In tradition, these marks only emerge after centuries, proof of both age and artistry. Here, every etched line becomes a testament to resilience and time’s quiet song—like hearing the faint pluck of strings across the years. A blend of polished and brushed finishes mimics the delicate texture of guqin strings, catching light with elegance and depth. It is as if time itself is being played, each glance at the dial a gentle strum of history and soul.

Resonance Beyond the Strings
The three-dimensional hour markers draw inspiration from the legendary Jiuxiao Huanpei guqin of the Tang Dynasty. Their contours restore the graceful silhouette of this cultural treasure, offering depth and presence at every angle. Each marker stands like a sculpted string, alive with rhythm, transforming the dial into more than a timekeeper—it becomes an instrument of memory. The interplay of shadow and light enhances the guqin’s timeless beauty, while the design carries with it centuries of wisdom and artistry. This is not just a watch face; it is music cast in steel, forever resonating beyond the strings.

Alligator Leather, Tailored Comfort
Crafted from premium alligator leather, the strap is supple, refined, and grows more comfortable with time. Each wear shapes it to your wrist, creating a truly personal fit.

Oriental Elegance, Secure Fit
The horseshoe-shaped clasp draws inspiration from traditional Chinese official’s armchairs. It blends cultural grace with modern strength, ensuring a secure, comfortable, and stylish fastening.

Everyday Water Resistance
With 50-meter water resistance, this watch stands up to daily life—whether washing hands or caught in sudden rain—reliable protection without compromising elegance.
