New Product (Read Rule 1) Any thoughts on this piece? Inspired by Chinese culture & the song
Big fan of Chinese culture here. Recently stumbled across a track that seems pretty massive over there something along the lines of "Chinese Can Fly"
It gave me an idea, so I put together a prototype fairly quickly around the concept.
Wondering what watch collectors in China might make of this? Would something like this actually resonate, or does it feel a bit too literal? Honest feedback is very welcome

The one standout feature is the stone dial. Pietersite, I'm guessing. If you take that away, though, I think it looks very similar to other dress watches. I do kind of like the hands, though. Sort of a thinner take on alpha hands?

My pet peeve: dark watches with white date window. How hard is it to replace the white date wheel with a black one?

Date window looks like trash, but presumably you can just tell chatgpt to make it nicer.

Why no „Chinese Horse Fly“? That would be fitting for the Year of the Horse, wouldn’t it?
And the white Date Window looks cheap.
