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.
In Bo Kaap in Cape Town after the end of apartheidt, the black people who were recently permitted to purchase properties painted their houses bright colors to commemorate this success. This folk art style used to paint is intended to emphasize this visual emblem of removing racial inequality.
