Peacock, which is a watch brand created in Dandong of Liaoning in China, has been in watch industry for a long time, however, this watch company is not well known outside, even most Chinese people do not know this brand. Peacock indeed has a very long watch-making history in China, their watches were more popular than Sea-gull during a period in the past, and Peacock also has made a big contribution for the development of the entire Chinese watch industry. There are a few factories in China that can make movements, there is a certain connection between them and those watch makers that sell fakes, we know the replicas watches coming from China are popular all over the world, what movements inside them? It is not hard to find that most are made in China, some are from Japan. That is the contribution these movement factories have made, because a lot of companies that sold fakes before now have created their own watch brands, so that is a great contribution these watch factories have made, including Peacock.
Let us talk about this Peacock watch, which is a new arrival from this company, the watch is a little bit like the Royal Oak 15400 from Audemars Piguet, but it does not copy the designs of any Swiss watch, it is completely independently designed by Peacock and draws the inspiration from the animal Peacock, several watch parts reflect this.
The watch is made with 904L stainless steel, which is more corrosion resistant, few Chinese brands decide to use this type of stainless steel in their watches because its higher cost. The case has a diameter of 40mm and is measured to be only in 9.8mm in thickness, its case has a special diamond shape that looks like a feature on the peacock. The chamfering on the sides of the diamond makes it highly contrast with the brushing finish on the case base. There are six screws on the bezel, each screw is in hexagon-shape and has an unique pattern on that looks like the Ocelli on the feature of the peacock.
The dial has three color options, white, light blue and salmon. The dial is the biggest highlight, it uses Guilloché craftmanship and the entire dial looks like the spreading tail features of a peacock. The Guilloché dial is completely hand-made. The round window opened at 6 o’clock is like the eye of a peacock, and the rotating tourbillon device is like its eyeball.
The design of wide-at-the-top and narrow-at-the-end on the bracelet makes it look more seamless integration with the case. On the edge of the bracelet, there is top quality chamfering and polishing, I have not found such high quality polishing finish on the bracelet of other Chinese watches, this greatly guarantees the wearing comfort.
The watch is equipped with a hand-winding tourbillon movement that is developed by Peacock. From the crystal back, there is Côtes de Genève. Tourbillon movement is more accurate, but I would rather it had been equipped with an automatic movement and then do a good decoration on the plate and auto rotor, just they did that on the dial, that will catch more attention. This movement ruins such a great idea, is it okay to say it this way?
