Lion-hearted and Spirited, Full of Vim and Vigor.
In traditional culture, lions are embodiments of bravery, strength, and auspiciousness. As guardians, their image often appears in the stylings of court art. Inspired by the bronze lion sculptures atop the 'Menhai' in the Forbidden City, this wristwatch reproduces their mighty appearance through enamel artistry. It condenses the power of guardianship onto the wrist.
The twin lions gripping the ring, silent yet imposing, symbolize auspiciousness in the long history of the Chinese imperial court. The dial's crafted twin lions with rings are inspired by the lion-face patterns on the gilt-bronze water basins at the palace gates, recreating the might of Hercules and condensing the blessings that have flowed through millennia onto the wrist.

Tiananmen Logo at 12 o'clock
Representing the splendid culture and profound history of China, Tiananmen serves as a symbol. As the brand logo of Beijing Watch, it embodies the inherent strength and cultural heritage of the Beijing Watch brand from its inception.
Washing away the leaden glamour, it reveals a simple and elegant beauty. The traditional court enamel art process involves firing porcelain glaze onto metal surfaces, allowing the dial to withstand the test of time with enduring color. Combining practical corrosion resistance with the exquisite charm of enamel, it pairs with an 18K rose gold case, understated yet retaining its elegance.
