The Story Behind Beijing Watch
In 1958, China was in need of pioneers to rejuvenate its watchmaking industry. A group of 21 trailblazers took on the challenge, founding the Beijing Watch brand on June 19th of that year. Their mission was clear: to build a world-class Chinese watch brand despite limited resources. By September of that same year, the Beijing "1958 Type 1 Watch" was launched to great acclaim, marking a pivotal moment in the history of Chinese watchmaking.
The 1958 Reissue Edition Watch honors this legacy, bringing modern innovations to the original design while maintaining the essence of that groundbreaking timepiece.
Red Five-Star at 6 o'clock: A Symbol of Hope and Guidance
One of the standout features of this reissue is the three-dimensional five-pointed star at the 6 o'clock position. Inspired by the Morning Star, which appears before dawn, this symbol represents brightness, hope, and guidance—a beacon for those who continue to push boundaries and pioneer new frontiers. The vibrant 'Beijing Red', a hallmark of the brand, infuses the watch with Eastern cultural significance, symbolizing vitality, luck, and the passion of life.
At the 3 o'clock position, a single date display window ensures that you'll never miss an important day—a reminder that every moment is a step forward in the journey of progress.
Tiananmen Logo at 12 o'clock: A Tribute to China's Rich Heritage
At the heart of this watch is a tribute to China's profound cultural heritage. The Tiananmen logo at the 12 o'clock position serves as a powerful symbol of the country’s history and strength. As the emblem of the Beijing Watch brand, it embodies the deep cultural roots and heritage that have guided the company since its inception.
The reissue maintains the original design ethos of the 1958 Type 1 Watch but introduces modern elements, such as a domed synthetic sapphire glass for enhanced clarity and a sleek, thinner bezel for a more refined look.
Crafted for Excellence: Exclusive Features
The Beijing Born Extraordinary 1958 Reissue Edition Watch comes in a customized gift box, designed to highlight the elegance of the timepiece. The set includes a complimentary stainless steel strap, a custom notebook, and a commemorative card to mark this special edition.
