Shenzhen, August 26, 2026 — The "Dan Chen Tian Gong" Organizing Committee today officially confirmed that CronusArt, a new avant-garde luxury watch brand from China, has been invited to participate in the exhibition. CronusArt will showcase several important timepieces that integrate traditional Chinese cultural imagery, palace aesthetics, and high-end complex watchmaking craftsmanship. These pieces will demonstrate the seamless combination of contemporary Chinese craftsmanship and trendy luxury mechanical aesthetics to collectors and culture enthusiasts from around the world.

CronusArt has always focused on using high-tech materials such as sapphire crystal and carbon fiber in conjunction with complex mechanical structures, breaking the rules of traditional watchmaking. For this overseas exhibition, CronusArt has specially selected three highly representative watches with Chinese cultural and Forbidden City aesthetic themes, deeply exploring Eastern philosophy, folk totems, and high-level watchmaking micro-engraving art.

Key Exhibition Models

1. CronusArt CM36-001 Heritage Tourbillon (Sunrise at the Forbidden City)

Focusing on the combination of classical palace architectural aesthetics and high-end watchmaking art

• Forbidden City Architectural Imagery and Sunburst Dial: The dial is inspired by the Forbidden City under morning light, featuring exquisite sunburst guilloché patterns that change with the angle of light, creating dynamic light and shadow effects and a sense of depth, much like the morning glow sweeping across the palace eaves.
• Free-Sprung Tourbillon: At 6 o'clock, it features CronusArt's proprietary free-sprung tourbillon mechanism, with a delicate gemstone set in the center, offering both ultra-high mechanical precision and excellent visual appeal, with a power reserve of approximately 68 hours.
• Architectural Profile Blending Octagon and Circle: The case and integrated bracelet are crafted from 904L stainless steel. The octagonal bezel, square on the outside and round on the inside, echoes the traditional Chinese concept of "heaven is round, earth is square" and the geometric order of palace architecture.
• Double-Sided Synthetic Sapphire Crystal Glass: Both the front and back feature synthetic sapphire crystal with a Mohs hardness of 9, offering excellent light transmission and showcasing the movement's rhythm and intricate finishing details from all angles.

2. CronusArt CM08-055 Awakening Lion (New Year Edition Awakening Lion)

The perfect collision of intangible folk heritage totems and avant-garde luxury sapphire watchmaking

• Traditional Awakening Lion Culture and Intangible Folk Heritage Imagery: The "Awakening Lion," an intangible cultural heritage of Lingnan, China, is reinterpreted on the dial. The lion symbolizes auspiciousness, warding off evil, and bringing good fortune, transforming powerful Eastern folk symbolism into a visual icon for luxury watches.
• Full Sapphire Crystal Case: Featuring CronusArt's signature full sapphire case, it presents a high-tech, liquid-transparent texture, allowing a 360-degree clear view of the internal lion structure and complex mechanical components.
• High-Frequency Chronograph Movement and Tri-Compax Layout: Equipped with a high-frequency (28,800 vph) customized mechanical movement, it features professional tri-compax chronograph functions with flyback/reset, balancing a highly recognizable luxury brand appearance with professional complex functions.
• High-Performance Fluoroelastomer Strap: Comes with anti-wear, corrosion-resistant fluoroelastomer straps in limited edition New Year colors like red and yellow, combined with ergonomic curved design, offering both high-saturation visual impact and excellent wearing comfort.

3. CronusArt CM023-009 Mandala · Om Mani Padme Hum (Six-Syllable Mantra · Mandala Central Tourbillon)

The ultimate expression of Eastern religious philosophy, Thangka art, and high-end watchmaking micro-sculpture

• Central Tourbillon Mechanical Layout: Breaking away from conventional off-center designs, the hand-wound tourbillon is placed precisely at the center of the dial, symbolizing the "sacred center" of the universe and mind. This not only reduces the impact of gravity on timekeeping but also creates a meditative, rhythmic mechanical ritual.
• Grand Feu Enamel Mandala and Six-Syllable Mantra: The dial's inspiration comes from the Tibetan Buddhist Saga Dawa festival and Thangka Mandala totems. Using challenging cloisonné and Grand Feu Enamel techniques, subjected to multiple high-temperature firings, the six-syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" and mandala geometric patterns are intricately carved onto the dial.
• Grade 5 Titanium Case and 120-Hour Ultra-Long Power Reserve: The 43mm case is crafted from lightweight, robust, and highly corrosion-resistant Grade 5 titanium. The movement provides a stable, long power reserve of up to 5 days (120 hours), balancing profound cultural heritage with contemporary technological materials.

Cultural Globalization: Telling the Chinese Story Through Luxury Watches

At the "Dan Chen Tian Gong" exhibition, CronusArt will showcase the hard power of local Chinese luxury brands in material science, advanced complex movement research and development (such as central tourbillons and free-sprung balances), and the re-creation of traditional cultural symbols. By transforming the palace aesthetics of the Forbidden City, the folk culture of the Awakening Lion, and the Zen philosophy of the Mandala into modern mechanical artworks worn on the wrist, CronusArt is presenting a brilliant calling card of contemporary high-end manufacturing and luxury culture from China to the global market.
