Blue Peacock

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.

To honor the tradition of Chinese watchmaking, this design nods to the ink painting tradition, where the subjects are often birds, flowers, mountains and trees. In this case, the Peacock mirrors the blue logo of the seagull, while the muted greens, greys and blacks are intended to capture the subtlety of Chinese art.

Peacocks are also a symbol of beauty, wealth, pride and new beginnings. For this watch, a total of 10 were painted to celebrate the start of the new year, and a new era of resurfacing watches!
