Millennia Moveable Type

Moveable type printing, one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China, empowers the watch “Millennia Moveable Type” with innovative inspirations. The golden roller at the center of its dial symbolizes the printing cylinder, enabling creative interaction with the user. By seamlessly blending ancient time units with modern numerals, the watch clearly conveys the passage of time to the wearer, as if gathering the past and present in the wrist, witnessing the historical timeline.

The unique movable type printing tourbillon timing structure is the watch's boldest and most eye-catching design. Based on the principle of printing, the dial presents the visual representation of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams: the golden roller, driven by the bottom tourbillon, prints alternately every 10 seconds, sequentially presenting the Chinese characters representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, along with corresponding Eight Trigrams patterns, ending with a Chinese oracle bone script dragon totem, cyclically repeating. The years 1041-1048 below commemorate the birth of movable type printing, giving the watch a sense of historical weight. Inspired by the locomotive linkage mechanism, the interaction process is made more intriguing.

The dial breaks common design with the ancient time unit of 12 Earthly Branches as the main visual core: "Zi" is from midnight 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM, "Chou" is from 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM, with each period connected by numbers, and so forth, presenting a unique style. In addition, a new magnetic sensing timing expression is adopted, where the Chinese characters representing the hours, made of magnetic night light material, change color with the time of day. When the character is bright white, it represents the time between midnight and noon, while green night light indicates the opposite. The continuation of ancient timing methods combined with modern innovation also allows users to experience the fusion of history and modernity.

The watch showcases exquisite craftsmanship and an ultimate pursuit of detail in its craftsmanship. It adopts precision steel CNC high-gloss cutting technology to shape delicate forms and intricate brushed texture digital processing, which is delicate and artistic.
