The First Watch Since The Founding Of New China Is Made in Tianjin
The First Watch Since The Founding Of New China Is Made in Tianjin
Five Star Watch is the first watch brand since we are able to manufacture watches on our own.
A group of artisans discussing on watchmaking from replica rolex WatchesEstore.com
By the end of 1954, the Tianjin State-Private Joint Hua Wei Watch Factory (today’s Tianjin Watch Factory) decided to manufacture watches by themselves. The factory has invited Mr. Jiang Zheng Yin and other three experienced masters, to conduct examinations and carry out trial manufacture at the same time. It took them four months to work out the first watch of our country until March 24, 1955. It is a 15jewels mechanical watch, completely handmade, with the gilt words of ‘Made in China’ and five gold stars on the watch plate, that’s why the brand is named ‘Five Star’, which is later renamed as “Wu Yi( five one)” in 1957.

Mao Zedong’s and Zhou Enlai’s Rolex
Mao Zedong’s and Zhou Enlai’s Rolex
Chairman Mao’s and Premier Zhou’s Rolex from WatchesEstore.com
This photo is not just an ordinary picture of Rolex, but the gift from Swiss and Arabian guests for Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, the two top leaders in China at that time when they visited China.
From the photo, we can tell the Rolex watch sent by Switzerland is quite special, obviously made by ordering. The fact that the calendar plate shows Chinese characters instead of Arabic numbers shows Switzerland’s well-intentioned. Besides, the design and texture of pure gold are not too prominent here, for Rolex is also a top watch brand of the world with thousands of celebrities wearing it. However, few people can place order to Rolex watch factory. It can be concluded that even though the gold Rolex with Chinese characters is not the only one around the world, at least it is extremely rare. There will be very difficult to find an imitative “Chairman Rolex” as same as the authentic one. Let alone to own this “Chairman Rolex”, the number of people who have actually seen them is very little.

Minute Repeater Watch—Big Star in the Salesroom
Minute Repeater Watch—Big Star in the Salesroom
The movement inside a minute repeater watch, from watchesestore.com
If you ever pay attention to the world’s three largest auction houses’ public sale of watches, you will notice that the transaction records of antique minute repeater pocket watches aren’t very high, even though it is from a watch making big name like Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, which usually can be bought at about under a quarter of one million Hong Kong dollars. But when it comes to a minute repeater wrist watch, the number writes on the price tag either in an exclusive store or in a Dutch auction generally well exceeds three million RMB. Why there will be such huge price difference between a modern minute repeater wrist watch and a pendant watch? It is because the size of a wrist watch is much smaller. Compared with processing a minute repeater movement for a pocket watch, to process one for a minute repeater wrist watch is far more difficult, for the precision of crafts, including the original design, polishing, assembling, test and the like involve much complicated work. Besides, a minute repeater wrist watch also means very few capable
manufacturers, very few craftsmen who master the techniques necessary for making one such watch and very few production output.

The Skeleton Technique In Watchmaking
The Skeleton Technique In Watchmaking
Vacheron Constantin Maitres Cabinotiers Platinum Minute Repeater, allows you to admire the meticulous and clever mechanical construction and movements inside the watch movement–photo from watchesestore.com
The Skeleton technique is a fine craft that shows the movement’s construction through sapphire crystal watch case back. It is not simply to dig a hole in the case back and show people whatever inside, but the watchmaker must hollow out everything except the movement skeleton, and carve delicate decorative designs on the skeleton with elaborate skills. The shocking beauty of mechanism is evident by observing the movement through a transparent watch case back.
