Elevating the Golden Era: The TimeThis 1960s Chronograph
The TimeThis 1960s Chronograph is more than a watch; it is a bridge between the golden age of watch design and modern artisanal excellence. Inspired by the legendary silhouette of the Patek Philippe Ref. 1463, this timepiece marries the architectural grace of a 38mm polished steel case with the vibrant soul of "Stella" lacquer dials. Available in Obsidian Black, Cream White, and Sky Blue, each dial is a canvas for light, further illuminated by hand-set, rectangular-cut natural gemstones. Whether you choose the fiery depth of natural rubies or the crystalline "ice-sugar" brilliance of Baguette-cut diamonds, this watch brings the prestige of VIP-level high jewelry watchmaking to the discerning collector’s wrist.
Natural Baguette-Cut Brilliance
We utilize natural diamonds and rubies, meticulously shaped using the prestigious Baguette cut. Unlike standard round cuts, these "ice-sugar" rectangular indices require exceptional stone clarity and precision hand-polishing. Previously reserved for elite perpetual calendars costing six figures, TimeThis brings this high-jewelry standard to your wrist, supported by custom-molded metal settings for unparalleled security and shine.
High-Gloss Depth and Vivid Color
Drawing inspiration from the daring "Stella" dials of the 1970s, our watch faces feature a high-saturation lacquer finish. This process creates a mirror-like luster and a sense of visual depth that standard matte or sunray dials cannot match. The result is a vibrant, jade-like texture that makes the Obsidian Black deeper and the Sky Blue more ethereal.
A Masterpiece of Proportions
The 38mm case pays homage to the world’s most coveted vintage chronographs. With a 13mm profile and flowing lugs, it strikes the perfect balance between presence and elegance. The 316L stainless steel case features mirror-polishing on the bezel and lugs, ensuring that every angle of the watch catches the light with a sophisticated, high-end glow.
Mechanical Excellence with a 18K Touch
Powered by the TT200 automatic column-wheel movement, this watch offers a crisp, tactile "click" reminiscent of a luxury lighter upon activation. To mark the exclusivity of the Gem-Set edition, we have upgraded the oscillating weight to 18K Gold. Visible through the sapphire case back, the gold rotor provides a level of prestige and visual warmth typically found only in haute horloger
TIMETHIS: Marking Creation in Motion

From Chengdu to London, the brand is redefining "Made in China" as a hallmark of cultural sophistication and precision.
