Seagull Moonphase watch with Méliès sci-fi classic “A Trip to the Moon".

Moon phase watches are very common, but it is a little difficult to see moon phase watches that dare to play with abstract art! 

The design elements of the Seagull 819.32.3023 are taken from the world's first science fiction film  Méliès sci-fi classic “A Trip to the Moon.”  The watch was inspired by the classic scene of written, directed and acted by French director George Merrill in 1902, 

The story originated from two science fiction novels in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the absurdity and wit, you can feel the brave and optimistic spirit of people at that time. A group of astronomers flew to the moon on a cannonball and hit Uncle Moon's right eye. After getting off the spaceship, they met a group of moon people who would be destroyed by umbrellas. After a fierce battle, the astronomers returned to Earth by cannonball spacecraft, fell into the sea, and explored the underwater world by the way. It's really heaven and earth, walking around all the curious places of human beings. The smiley moon phase of this watch alternates with the image of the moon phase of the right eye hit by a cannonball every month, which is very interesting. 


Therefore, this big calendar Moonphase watch from Seagull is actually a little different. Although it is a watch produced by Seagull, it can't be found in the official Seagull exclusive store! It’s a special order by a watch Retailer “Fatty Kong” . The greatest irony is that a China watch company producing a Moonphase watch using abstract art from the West.

紅旗錶:三面紅旗

  2024 年,我將收藏的靈魂與目光,堅定錨定在中國中古腕錶最幽深、也最富傳奇色彩的秘境——「紅旗」。那是一個「仿品如潮,真跡如星」的稀缺世界;每一枚真品,都是被時代風暴掩埋的歷史殘卷,靜默承載著一段段沉浮往事。 在特定歷史時期,手錶並非日常用品,而是極少數權貴與精英方能擁有的...
