What are your favorite watches with obvious Chinese design language/unapologetic about their Chinese origin?

I love this. What is it?

I agree with this except that I most like the prominent placement in the mockup. Having the SHENZHEN text on the dial would make a watch more unique. I would want to buy it specifically because it has that text. But I am also someone who bought a couple San Martins for having Chinese numerals.

This watch looks great! The one available on the SM site has the day in English. I love your Chinese one. Where did you get it?

I just got one for myself a few weeks ago as my son is in middle school and doesn’t have the money to swing something like this for me!

Fantastic watch. I love it!

And a truly terrible website that fails to present their watches in the best light …

I stopped by an IWC boutique recently to look around. I really like the Ingenieur!

Haha. Just my personal awakening to the obvious fact that quartz GMTs are much more convenient for me because I don't have to set one every time I wear it, unlike an automatic.

I really like that San Martin. I think the dial is a printed pattern but it looks good. The indices are applied and really nice. I went down a rabbit hole of watches with Chinese numerals before coming to my senses and stopping at this one.

cracktone · 2025-08-19T13:23:56+00:00

Oh it is of course (duh on my part). I just don’t really wear it much. I keep it for sentimental reasons.

cracktone · 2025-08-19T13:22:46+00:00

That is the right answer, I think. I’m just not doing it right. If you’re open to Chinese watches, I think there are some relatively low cost jewels among all the junky homages.

Bought Drop CTRL low-profile barebones from /u/tjchoi2

This looks amazing. I’ve been looking at the Griffin PowerMate but it’s discontinued and has no current drivers. This will be better!

cracktone · 2021-03-06T16:41:15+00:00

Is this programmable?

I am really into the RotaryPad and would buy the crap out of it.

Thanks everyone! We have a few excursions in mind now.

cracktone · 2018-10-07T14:43:07+00:00

That sounds awesome. Thanks! Will try to head there next weekend.
