In all ages, many western designers who create luxury watches especially for Chinese market always take the advantage of China related elements into their products design. For example, the Watch Museum of Beijing Forbidden City does collect kinds of antique watches with accurate time, delicate style and fresh colors. Besides, it perfectly combines painting, sculpture, chronometer, music, machine and technology all together. Thanks to them, we can realize the wonderful workmanship in watches hundreds of years ago. What s more, it seems that both Chinese and westerner would like style with China elements. The fact is really true based on the luxury watches with Chinese characteristics. Let s share together!
It is the Chinese building and historical site that inspired the creation of western watches. All of them can be the element of dial plate, no matter the Temple of Heaven, the terra-cotta figures or the Great Wall. Of course, everybody can be the leading role on dial.
What s more, the lucky number 8 is naturally the hotspot on watch design. Wearing such a lucky watch, I m sure you will get a happy mind and then gain great luck.
As everybody knows, Dragon is the classic totern symbol that is adored by all Chinese people. In 2000 the years of Dragon, kinds of watch brands in Switzerland released Dragon-themed watches in succession to show their respect for Chinese culture.
Bovet Fleurier used traditional enamel craftwork to shape the paint of Dragon and released a wide range of Fleurier items to watch addicts. They are so chic and eye-catching, no wonder that so many Chinese people are deeply attracted.
See other two watches with dragon feature. The left is Penerai Luminor, the right is Glashutte Original Ming Dragon.
Some luxury watches are inspired from the Chinese zodiac culture with centuries-old history. We once remember that Chopard released its Happy Sport item in the Monkey Year2004. As for now, the Year of the Ox 2009, I wonder which luxury brand will take special care to the zodiac related watch line. If you have news about that, please let me know.
You will find that some western luxury watches have strong relationship with Chinese events. In 1994, Vacheron Constantin released its Mercator line to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of great geographer Gerhard Kremer Mercator(1512-1594). See the stylish Mercator watch, it features enamel painting with map detail, and unique arc-circled hour and minute hands. As far as I concerned, it needs over 400 hours craftmanship to make the dial masterpiece. How difficult it is!
Like the Mercator item of 1997. It is released to specially memorialize the HongKong Regression in China. You see, a age-old sail boat cruised in the field of HongKong, symbolizing HongKong s important status of port in 19th century.
