The Only "Panda" Dial with an Actual Soul

In a market saturated with sterile, black-and-white "Panda" chronographs that all trace back to the same 1960s Swiss tropes, TIMETHIS has done something radical. Born in Chengdu—the literal home of the Giant Panda—this isn't just a color palette; it’s an architectural tribute. The Ref. 2502SS1 transforms the cold geometry of a chronograph into a living, breathing "National Treasure." Combining the iconic "Tasti Tondi" vintage silhouette with a multi-layered brass sculpture, this timepiece proves that high-end independent watchmaking from the East has officially moved past "homage" into the realm of "Art."

Horology Planet Hands-on Review

Beyond the Nickname: A 3D Sculptural Dial

While a Rolex Daytona or Hamilton Intra-Matic uses "Panda" as a mere color code, TIMETHIS treats the dial as a canvas. The multi-layered brass construction creates a literal face: the sub-dials are the iconic "eye patches," and the 6 o'clock sub-dial features a playful red crescent—the panda’s tongue—that "pants" as the seconds tick by. It’s whimsical, it’s original, and it’s a masterclass in depth that flat dials simply cannot match.

The "Tasti Tondi" Heritage Case

For the vintage purist, the 38mm steel case is a love letter to the legendary Patek Philippe Ref. 1463. Featuring the "Tasti Tondi" style round pump pushers, the case offers a tactile, soft-touch ergonomics that echoes the gentle nature of the panda. At 14mm thick including the crystal, it provides that sought-after "wrist presence" while maintaining the proportions of a mid-century classic.

High-Beat Performance & 55-Hour Reserve

Unlike entry-level microbrands that settle for low-beat movements to save costs, the Ref. 2502SS1 houses a self-winding mechanical engine beating at 28,800 vph. This ensures a smooth, sweeping chronograph hand—the "Bamboo Green" needle—mimicking the fluid grace of the Sichuan wilderness. With a boosted 55-hour power reserve, it outlasts most competitors in this price bracket.

The "Chengdu" Provenance: Authenticity You Can’t Fake

The green central hand isn’t just a pop of color; it’s the bamboo of the Sichuan forests. This watch wasn't designed in a sterile lab in Bienne; it was sketched in the city where pandas actually live. For the Western collector, this represents "Social Currency"—the ability to own a piece of a specific culture, not just a luxury object.

By leveraging China’s sophisticated high-end supply chain, TIMETHIS creates "Mechanical Poetry"—timepieces that prioritize emotive storytelling and "Quiet Luxury" over mass-market trends. From Chengdu to London, the brand is redefining "Made in China" as a hallmark of cultural sophistication and precision.
