Watch Design Concept:

First of all, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac year. The watch uses Chinese red color as a whole, The Chinese auspicious cloud texture on the dial means joy and peace.

Auspicious Cloud Pattern Oil Pressed Dial, Logo, hour markers, and Hndas are all gold-plated.

The bottom of the dial is a golden Chinese dragon paper-cut pattern, corresponding to the 2024 zodiac, which is the Year of the Dragon.

And the entire pattern is filled with C3 super luminous. After absorbing light, it will remain luminous in the dark and lifelike.

The 24-hour mark is printed on the red chapter ring, and the 8 o'clock mark is changed to the Chinese character "辰" (Chen).

"辰" (Chen) also corresponds to the dragon zodiac sign in the twelve zodiac signs, and "辰" (Chen) in the "Twelve Earthly Branches" hour culture, so it is marked with a special golden color.

The composition of the heavenly stems and earthly branches formed the traditional calendar of ancient China.

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches first appeared on the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty in China more than 3,000 years ago.

Bezel canceled the scale design with numbers and adopted the Chinese Fret Pattern design.

Fret Pattern is a geometric pattern evolved from the thunder patterns on ancient pottery and bronzes, which means auspiciousness and contains the meaning of continuous and eternal auspiciousness. often used as the edge decoration of utensils.

The case back is etched with Chinese characters for the Year of the Dragon, with a "福"(Fu) pattern in the center.

The meanings of the word "福"(Fu) in Chinese culture are: prayer, blessing, happiness, luck, peace, etc. Good wishes for a better life, yearning.

This design integrates ancient Chinese paper-cutting, zodiac signs, Chinese characters, twelve earthly branches, fret pattern and other cultures. They are a fusion of ancient culture and modern culture.

This model can be said to be a new original design or semi-original design, using numerous design elements to completely change the style of the original watch.

Speaking of dragon paper-cut patterns, here we would like to introduce the Chinese paper-cut culture separately:

Chinese paper-cutting is a folk art that uses scissors or carving knives to cut patterns on paper and is used to decorate life or cooperate with other folk activities.

In China, paper-cutting has a broad mass base, is integrated into the social life of people of all ethnic groups, and is an important part of various folk activities.

From simple flowers, birds, fish, and twelve zodiac signs, to more complex New Year pictures, opera performances, and expressions of various beautiful scenes.

Can you imagine how much wisdom the people have gathered to produce these wonderful patterns on a small piece of red paper using only scissors, carving knives and other tools? How many times do they need to practice without making any mistakes? This requires such superb skills.

Its continuously inherited visual image and modeling style contain rich cultural and historical information, express the social cognition, moral concepts, practical experience, life ideals and aesthetic tastes of the general public, and are cognitive, educational, expressive, lyrical and Multiple social values such as entertainment and communication.

During the New Year, paper-cut works with profound meanings and good wishes are posted on the windows of every household, adding a little warmth to the cold season. The bright colors, auspicious patterns and unique ideas all convey people's sincere wishes for a prosperous, prosperous and healthy life.

On May 20, 2006, the art heritage of paper-cutting was approved by the State Council of China to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, which brought more attention to these cultures, promoted and inherited them.
