Seagull watch 818.12.8850

Recently, Seagull Watch officially released a new ultra-thin automatic tourbillon mechanical watch, model 818.12.8850. The launch of this watch marks a major breakthrough for Seagull in the field of ultra-thin movements, because its thickness is only 4.3 mm, which is very rare in the world and almost broke the record of domestic watches.

The vibration frequency of this watch’s movement is 28,800 times per hour, and its power reserve capacity is 43 hours. Thanks to Seagull’s research in the field of ultra-thin movements, this watch combines ultra-thin movements, complex functions with traditional Chinese aesthetics. Even at a price of 26,800 yuan, it seems to be worth the money and is very suitable for business occasions.

The dial design of the watch is inspired by the guqin. This instrument has a history of three thousand years in the great Eastern countries. It was once used as an instrument for ritual music. There are records that Fuxi created a qin that resembled a woman. This instrument later evolved into the guqin we see today.

Seagull Watch integrates the guqin culture into the design of the watch. It is not a simple imitation, but a re-creation by a modern designer. The irregular concave and convex stripes on the watch are extracted from the outline of the guqin, while the hour markers reproduce the shape of the Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin created by Fu Xi in the Tang Dynasty, which is very charming.

The most eye-catching thing is the eccentric tourbillon at 6 o’clock. It adopts a blackbird-like shape, which is very consistent with the seagull, a symbol of the brand element. It also serves as the small second hand of the watch, which is both beautiful and practical.

Oriental aesthetics

From the appearance, this watch is very modern, and from its design concept, you can feel the influence of “Oriental aesthetics”. This is the design concept adhered to by Seagull Watch. It modernizes traditional Chinese aesthetics while ensuring the practicality of the watch, so that it can adapt to current wearing needs.

This watch is only 4.3 mm thick and 42 mm in diameter. It is a very typical ultra-thin design among modern mechanical watches. Such excellent parameters not only allow this watch to achieve a good balance between fashion and practicality, but also make it a veritable “pocket watch”.

Whether you are a business person in a suit or an ordinary consumer who occasionally visits high-end places, you can control this watch. It can not only show the wearer’s taste, but will not be too ostentatious. It is a restrained and luxurious style.

From the details, we can still feel the ingenuity of Seagull Watch. The watch is made of 316L stainless steel, which not only has excellent corrosion resistance, but also has excellent hardness. It is not prone to scratches even if it is worn for a long time. The 9.4 mm thickness design makes this watch almost non-negative when worn, making it very suitable for long-term wear.

Conclusion

This Seagull watch 818.12.8850 really bridges the gap between modernity and tradition. Its ultra-thin design and unique cultural elements make it hard to put it down. The price of 26,800 yuan is considered to be good value for money, which can improve the taste without appearing exaggerated. What do you think of this design concept?
