A cultural tribute

Despite the fact that water and mountains encouraged the decoration of various China's artifacts as early as the Neolithic period and were displayed in increasingly figurative means in the first millennium ADVERTISING, the combination of the two simply came later. It was not until the Ming (1368-1644) in addition to Qing (1644-1911) dynasties the pattern really took condition. During the reign of Chief Wanli (1573-1620), it was basically named “Seawater Cliff” as well as used only by the cesáreo family. As the name implies, the pattern refers to the marine, with the tide represented simply by long, undulating lines along with the raging waves crashing resistant to the cliffs. These overhanging clfs, unaffected by the waves, stand for the emperor’s steadfastness industry by storm life’s vagaries.

In China's, “tide” and “dynasty” are generally homophones, and “cliff” also can mean “ginger sprout” ~ one can recognize the summarize of a ginger sprout from your edge of this cliff missing the sea. In Chinese traditions, water and mountains may also be powerful territorial symbols. The particular emperor’s ceremonial robes have been printed with the “seawater cliff” pattern, symbolizing stability. Such as an unshakable cliff above the dunes, he was a symbol of peace and also longevity, and a guarantee connected with national wealth and success. The pattern became popular and spread to furnishings, sculpture, decorations, and buildings across all social lessons. Jacob and Co. Astronomia Solar

Against the starry night time sky, the peaks usually are surrounded by ginger-like vegetation and also the waves lapping against these. With its rich colors as well as respect for traditional China's decoration, this painting is actually a masterpiece of the cloisonné art, which originated in China. This kind of craft is also called Jingtai in honor of the heyday regarding cloisonné craft in the Ming Dynasty.

Laying down 220 gold strings to outline the teeth enamel area of the "sea cliff" pattern requires more than 55 hours of work to finish. Then, the glaze will be applied layer by stratum according to color and depth, with a firing between each and every process. This requires at least 70 hours to achieve the rich hues of this piece. A final buffing is then applied to highlight the actual golden cloisonné and give structure to the pattern. Finally, the particular translucent enamel coating injects a unique glow into this specific highly architectural piece, which can be further enhanced by the processing of the lines and primitive skills.

To highlight this enameled surface process, the bezel on this model is completely hand-engraved using a bat pattern. In Chinese, the word for bat as well as the word for blessing noise similar, which partly clarifies the bat's symbolism of excellent fortune. In Chinese adornment, five bats often seem together, traditionally representing typically the "five blessings": longevity, riches, stability, virtue and pleasure. On this watch, the engraver depicted the bats as being a band composed of continuous scrolls, representing the bat's special silhouette.

Often the gold dial is broken into three parts. The first portion depicts the sea, made of strong blue Grand Feu enameled, fired layer by coating. Then comes the patient decoration. The technique for depicting the actual waves is to carve swirls in the enamel. These swirls are then further highlighted by a master craftsman, who also fills the grooves using white enamel before heating. This extremely thin level of enamel creates a refined shadow on the finely uneven background, creating the impression from the sea flowing.

The second segment is dedicated to setting, revealing the tides flowing over the mountain range. Each trend is carefully hand-set having brilliant-cut diamonds, reminiscent of the particular crescent moon that prompted the piece's name. In the meantime, the third section of the watch dial adds a relief influence, with the mountains being crushed by the surging waves. That depiction of the mountains is defined with tone-on-tone champlevé tooth enamel to highlight the depth in the landscape, and also with dried engraving to highlight the perspective outcome.
