Description
Where Time Meets the Art of Lacquer
Long before it became the face of this watch, a single drop of natural lacquer began its journey deep within the forest. Layer after layer, it is patiently brushed by hand, each coat resting for days before being polished to a soft, jade-like glow. Tiny fragments of mother-of-pearl are then individually inlaid into the lacquer, allowing their iridescent blues, greens, and violets to emerge beneath the translucent surface like stars scattered across the night sky. At the center, a flying tourbillon turns in constant motion, bringing together two philosophies of time: the precision of mechanical watchmaking and the quiet patience of Chinese lacquer craftsmanship. The Lacquer Whisper collection celebrates this rare harmony, where centuries-old artistry continues to shine with every movement of the wrist.

What is Mother-of-Pearl Inlay [螺钿]?
Mother-of-pearl inlay is one of China's most treasured traditional decorative arts, with a history spanning more than a thousand years. Skilled artisans carefully cut iridescent shells such as abalone into tiny fragments and individually embed them into layers of natural lacquer. Every piece is positioned entirely by hand, requiring remarkable patience and precision. Through repeated lacquering and polishing, the shell becomes one with the lacquer surface, revealing ever-changing reflections that embody the enduring spirit of Chinese craftsmanship and cultural heritage.

What is Maki-e [莳绘]?
Inspired by centuries of East Asian lacquer artistry, Maki-e is a refined decorative technique in which precious gold powder or gold leaf is delicately applied onto wet lacquer to create elegant motifs. Each detail is completed entirely by hand, demanding exceptional precision and patience. On this dial, genuine 24K gold markers and scattered golden accents enrich the mother-of-pearl surface, adding warmth, brilliance, and a timeless expression of traditional craftsmanship.
