Core Exhibition Items and Aesthetic Highlights

1. Work of Honor: GPHG Award-Winning Work — U Series Blue Planet II

• GPHG Award Recognition: As an original mechanical timepiece that subverts traditional time-telling logic, this series of works won the Challenge Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), representing one of the highest honors for contemporary Chinese mechanical design on the international stage.
• Miniature Earth and Pointerless Innovative Time-Telling: The dial intricately presents the natural topography of the Earth's continents and oceans using miniature engraving technology, innovatively adopting "non-parallel rotating hands" technology — with compass markings printed on the dial simultaneously indicating hours and minutes, subverting the traditional hour and minute hand rotation mode.
• Humanistic Care and Environmental Philosophy: By presenting "Earth," our common home, on a miniature dial, it not only showcases the ultimate industrial design aesthetic but also conveys cultural and environmental thoughts on caring for the blue planet and respecting nature to the world.

• Ten Years of Innovative Accumulation: Summarizes and refines the brand's groundbreaking design language since its establishment, showcasing the brand's innovative journey of integrating traditional mechanical structures with modern minimalist geometric aesthetics.
