Sea-Gull of China has a long history and is a huge manufacturer of mechanical movements. Over the years, I’ve bought several Sea-Gull watches and they’ve all exceeded expectations. Reliable and priced at a fraction of Swiss brands. But in terms of marketi...

I realise this is a budget brand or should I say a brand that undercuts many and I am glad that you are happy with your watch. I had a Blancpain tourbillon in the mid 90s that was out by 10 to 15 seconds a day and I sold it since I am a sticker for accura...

Sincere thanks for sharing and enjoy in good health. Must admit that as a casual collector, I’m unaware of these independent-perhaps unique - pieces. For sure, I ll keep an open mind on contributions to horology from China - or any place anywhere

A lot has been happening and so I have been super busy. I unfortuantely do not own any of these watches (nor the photos and so if they are urs, let me know :p ) but I love reading about watches that are basically mechanical works of art ! I think many of ...
