The story
Part of a collection of 7 watches for the exploration of sustainability
The Sea-Gull ST5 watch has its origins rooted in the rich history of Chinese watchmaking, particularly from the Tianjin Sea-Gull Watch Group, which was established in 1955. The ST5 movement, a mechanical caliber, was developed in the 1970s and is known for its reliability and precision. This movement was part of a broader effort to modernize and innovate within the Chinese watch industry, allowing for both domestic and international markets to appreciate high-quality timepieces. The Sea-Gull ST5 has since gained recognition among watch enthusiasts for its craftsmanship and value, embodying a blend of traditional watchmaking techniques and contemporary design.
While many mega-cities have a recognisable man-made skyline, Tokyo is a little different. By far and away the most iconic image of the world's biggest city is the beautiful active volcano that dominates the image. This represents the power of nature over man, and a reminder to respect the power of the planet. Japan has suffered numerous natural disasters, with earthquakes so common that many japanese people apparently demolish a house after purchasing it so it is rebuilt with the latest earthquake technology. As natural disasters incease due to climate change, it's a reminder of how destructive these can be. The style chosen was an anime style, which is an iconic art form within the land of the rising sun.
