Blooming Elegance: The Magnolia Collection
Inspired by Shanghai’s city flower, the white magnolia, this timepiece brings together the elegance of magnolia blossoms with the artistry of Suzhou embroidery. Employing the heritage craft of Jingwei embroidery, each stitch mirrors the brushstrokes of a painting, as if the magnolia gracefully steps out from silk into life. The dial unfolds like a refined qipao beauty—poised, radiant, and quietly confident.
The magnolia blossoms with fragrance and confidence, mirroring the modern spirit of Shanghai women. Each embroidered stitch captures a blooming bud—poised, graceful, and subtly noble, like a young smile unfolding in quiet elegance.
Inspired by Gu embroidery, the magnolia blooms through the intangible craft of Jingwei embroidery. Nearly ten thread shades create lifelike petals, hand-stitched over 30 dedicated hours—each detail embodying softness, resilience, and timeless artistry.
Echoing traditional scroll rods, the lugs resemble huakou clasps of a qipao, seamlessly merging structure and artistry. Functional yet ornamental, these metallic accents frame the dial like a painting, celebrating feminine grace and Shanghai’s timeless charm.
A sapphire crystal case back reveals the mechanical beauty within, refined with a fish-scale polishing technique. This subtle detail adds depth, shimmering with light as it enhances both texture and craftsmanship.
