The tourbillon has always represented the pinnacle of horological technology, and the "Chinese Mainland Tourbillon" born in 1996 is precisely the Chinese Spirit Swallow Tourbillon crafted by Master Xu Yaonan of Beijing Watch. It ushered in the era of tourbillons in mainland China, making China the second country, after Switzerland, to possess tourbillon technology.

On June 19, 2012, the inaugural China Watchmaking Masters Awards Ceremony was held at the Great Hall of the People. The China Watch Association selected the first twelve Chinese watchmaking masters, among whom three master watchmakers from the Beijing Watch Factory, Xu Yaonan, Shi Wenli, and Su Wenbin, were honored

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.
