Xiaomi Youpin and "New Forbidden City" finally appeared. After fusing the classical design of the Forbidden City with the highest technology in the watch industry, it launched a fully automatic tourbillon mechanical watch. Now the watch has been sold in a limited number of crowdfunding by Xiaomi Youpin, priced at 5999 yuan, and the limited edition is 999 while stocks last.
This year marks the 600th anniversary of the completion of the Forbidden City. It is no longer just a palace but a museum that records 600 years of memory. There have been many "twin" stories in the six hundred years, such as the Ningshou Palace, the place where Qianlong returned to power in his later years, and built similar in shape to the Jianfu Palace where he lived in his childhood. Behind every perfect cultural relic in the Forbidden City are countless broken "twin brothers". Also in the Yongle period, one of the hand-pressing cups produced in Jingdezhen was hidden in the Forbidden City, and the other became a broken piece of Jingdezhen porcelain. It took 600 years to get together.
It is said that the watches launched by Xiaomi Youpin and the "New Forbidden City" are also "twin brothers" with many cultural relics of the Forbidden City. In appearance, the watch uses many court elements from the Forbidden City. The exterior texture uses the blue and white twisted branches of the two "twin" pressure cups. The dial uses the five-claw dragon on the dragon robe 600 years ago and the official robe. Cliff pattern on the sea water. The base material of the table is lapis lazuli representing the sky, which is said to be the same material as the Temple of Heaven. These materials, patterns and textures all imply auspiciousness in our traditional Chinese culture. The tourbillon in the
watch was invented in 1795 by the master watchmaker Breguet. It is a clock speed regulating device that can correct the errors caused by gravity on the clock mechanism and improve the accuracy of the mechanical watch. The tourbillon process is complicated, composed of more than 100 parts, and the weight is less than 0.3g, which is often only assembled in top watches. It is said that more than 30 watch technicians are required to produce such a watch, using more than 4,500 production processes, and it takes 180 days.
watches incorporate modern technology on the basis of traditional craftsmanship. The sapphire mirror used is more scratch-resistant and wear-resistant than glass. The body is 5ATM waterproof, which can also meet the daily waterproof needs, so that the mechanical watch can also cope with life scenes such as cold water hand washing, face washing and rain. With 72 hours of energy storage, it has more relaxed environmental requirements.
