The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall, a renowned ancient architecture in China, is famously said to have been built with gold and men's blood, stretching thousands of miles across the land, traversing the ages amidst peaks and clouds. It stands as one of the world's great architectural marvels, a testament to the wisdom of the Chinese nation.
With hundreds of majestic passes linking together to form the Great Wall, inspired by this, master watchmakers have designed a series of timepieces, incorporating the countless beacon towers atop the Great Wall into the finely crafted dial, presenting the enduring passage of time and the magnificence of the Great Wall.
The inspiration for the oil-pressure-molded three-dimensional ring comes from the iconic Great Wall, manifesting as a sandblasted dial to evoke the grand expanse of the Great Wall.

Sword Pointing to the World, Galloping on the Battlefield.
Drawing from the military strategy outlined in the ancient Chinese text 'Thirty-Six Stratagems' - particularly the 28th stratagem of 'Removing the Ladder After the Enemy Has Ascended' - which involves enticing the enemy to climb the wall only to remove the ladder, cutting off their retreat, Beijing Watch translates this into design by symbolizing the ladder as semi-suspended bar indices. Half rest on the Great Wall, while the other half seems to hover outside, symbolizing the ancient Chinese military wisdom.
The battlefield-inspired sword-shaped hands, reminiscent of bronze swords used in ancient times, exude a sense of gallantry, as if transporting wearers back to the ancient battlegrounds of the Great Wall. With each sweep of the hand, one can feel the valor and spirit of the warriors.
