Inheriting the beauty of Chinese calligraphy, the bold calligraphic font "Beijing" on the dial originates from the work of Mi Fei, one of the Four Masters of the Song Dynasty. The calligraphic style characterized by "calmness and boldness, with a touch of flair" perfectly embodies the beauty of Chinese culture passed down by Beijing Watch.

Flying Horse of Gansu
The Beijing Watch draws inspiration from the Bronze Running Horse or the Flying Horse of Gansu or Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ingeniously combining the vigorous momentum of the steed with the grace of the "Spirit Swallow" tourbillon, presenting an unstoppable momentum.
The Flying Horse of Gansu is listed as a national treasure of China and is a masterpiece of Chinese bronze art, capturing the attention and study of countless individuals. Discovered in 1974 in the pit of the Terracotta Army in Shaanxi Province, China, it is a bronze sculpture approximately 34 centimeters high and 46 centimeters long. This bronze statue depicts a galloping war horse stepping on a flying swallow, with the swallow's wings flapping upward, creating a vivid scene.
This theme represents the ancient Chinese admiration for bravery and strength. It is not only an outstanding representative of ancient Chinese art but also an important part of world cultural heritage, with significant implications for the study of ancient Chinese art, history, and culture.
A replica of the Flying Horse of Gansu was donated as a gift to the city of Lexington Kentucky, USA in June 2000.
