There have been a big development for Chinese watch industry in the past five years, many new brands have pushed the development of China watches to a small climax. These brands include some homage watches such as San Martin, Steeldive, Octopus, Baltany, etc., but what excites me most is some brands are using ideas to make innovations, in this aspect, I am deeply impressed by Ciga Design and Atowak. Today, I will introduce another interesting watch from China, it is made in Dongguan of Guangdong province, the watch reference is H002, like the Vager Hauers watch I reviewed last time, this Huasuo watch also uses certain Chinese character to convey special meaning. By the way, the biggest highlight on the watch is its dial that uses traditional lacquer craft, besides, you can also see different dial materials on other Huasuo watches, including emerald and lazurite.
Another big selling point of the watch is its movement, which is Swiss SW200, this is a real Swiss movement, which has a very similar structure to ETA 2824-2 but is more cost-efficient. The movement has a power reserve of 38 hours, a beat frequency of 28,800 times per hour and 26 jewels. The daily accuracy is within ±12 seconds, few watches in Chinese watches use this high-end automatic movements. During your future wearing, there will be much less or even no issues on the movement.
The red dial looks like a steelmaking furnace, it uses Chinese lacquer craft, hour markers use Chinese character, the “鋼” has two meanings, first, it means “steel” this material, second, it means tough, hard and strong, on this watch, this Chinese character “鋼” refers more to the second meaning. The other Chinese characters as hour markers have their own meaning.
