On the afternoon of August 10, 2013, Seagull Watches held a “Fantastic Wings” enjoyment event for fans of Seagull Watches in famous Chinese and foreign villages. The Watch House was invited to attend the event and detailed the event Report. At the event, the latest research results of the Seagull watch ‘odd wing’ three-dimensional tourbillon watch will be displayed, which will be another milestone research result of the seagull watch. The atmosphere of the event was lively, especially the technical explanation by Mr. Cao Weifeng, the chief designer of Seagull. It was really eye-opening, and introduced the three-dimensional tourbillon watches of various brands in a vertical direction. I believe that the friends at the scene have a better understanding of the tourbillon. Thorough, and there are many watch media on the scene to talk about national watches, but also expect outstanding performance on national watches.

  ‘Qingyi’ Pleasure Party event venue was selected in this quite classic tea house. I think that love watches are like tea tasting. People who don’t have the connotation cannot meditation tea. Just like an inexperienced person buying a watch, he would never understand the heritage behind the watch, the design process behind it, and the art of polishing. So I believe that this is also the purpose of Seagull Watch to choose such a place in the hope that more people can learn the story behind the watch.

When I first entered the tea house, I saw such a small rockery and a conspicuous sign-in guide.

  After the event, Cao Gong explained the development process and technical achievements of the ‘Qingyi’ three-dimensional tourbillon watch in detail. In the explanation, Cao Gong also analyzed the technical characteristics of the three-dimensional tourbillon of each brand in detail. What needs to be emphasized is that Cao Gong is the biggest contributor to this ‘odd wing’ three-dimensional tourbillon watch. From the design to the production of Cao Gong, he has made the ‘odd wing’ three-dimensional tourbillon watch.

  This is the latest appearance of the ‘odd wing’ three-dimensional tourbillon. At the beginning of the design, Cao Gong considered the seagull brand element as the design focus and extended the ‘seagull’ as the ‘wing’ element into the design of the multi-axis tourbillon frame. Implied soaring wings, realizing dreams, and at the same time supplemented with ‘oddness’-novelty and fancyness to further modify it, thus confirming the name ‘odd wing flywheel number one’. This also shows that there may be follow-up works such as ‘Fly Wing Flywheel II’.

  After Cao Gong explained, Seagull also arranged a French professional to teach you how to taste wine. This is really thoughtful, but I am worried that my friends who drive will be affected when they leave.

  During the rest period, Cao Gong and the famous watchmaker Liu Xingli were very happy to talk to each other. It is really a spark collision between cutting-edge figures in the Chinese watch circle. I believe they will have huge gains from each other.

  Finally, several cutting-edge figures from the Chinese watch circle were arranged to answer questions from watch fans and friends on Weibo, and all talked about their expectations for the national watch. The picture shows the famous watchmaker Mr. Liu Xingli (first from left), the famous designer of seagull watch teacher Cao Weifeng (second from left), the famous watchmaker Li Wei (third from left), and the famous watchmaker Changwei (fourth from left).

The giants of the Chinese bezel are gathered together to explain the doubts of many watch friends. Such an opportunity is not rare, but it is by no means impossible. This can be seen from the passion of watch fans. Teachers Chang and Liu have great enthusiasm for creating the Chinese people’s own green watch circle, and believe that China’s current major national watch brands have great opportunities. Mr. Li made suggestions on both national praise and inadequacy, and put forward valuable opinions on the development of national watches. Teacher Cao detailed the plan and research direction of the seagull watch for the friends at the scene, so that everyone has more confidence in the seagull watch.

  The most exciting thing for watch fans is the final draw of the event. In total, five lucky watch fans got DIY seagull watches provided by Seagull. This watch needs to be assembled by itself.

  This is the winner of the final prize (first from the left). It is a lucky one. The prize is also a seagull watch and has a dual calendar function.

  Finally, I still want to present the masterpiece of Cao Gong. This ‘Odd Wing Tourbillon No. 1’ can be said to be the hard work of Cao Gong. I also know such a thing in this event. In a word, it is ‘So and so brand is designed this way, I don’t use this design’. I think Cao Gong is the hope of the national watch, I hope that Cao Gong can make persistent efforts, and also wish that the seagull watch is getting better and better.
