Horological Meandering

Beijing Watch Company..........info needed please

 

hi,

one of our US members has a beautiful cloisonne enamel dragon dialled watch from Beijing Watch Company for sale via large website. it is a stunning piece and would suit me down to the ground, BUT i cant find anything about the company on google. the only reference to it is the watch itself.

so if anyone can point me in the right direction for me to research the quality etc. i know that an 18ct gold watch with complex hand enamelled dial will be worth a fair amount, i just want to know if the 18 jewel manual wind in house movement is of the same quality. it is described as within COSC standards at +/- 5 secs, has a swan neck regulater and is apparently gold.

i know we have discussed chinese companies at length, but i think it was mainly aimed at sea-gull.

look forward to responses

Graham

But Don't have any idea of the price... Personally, I wouldn't go on this chinese pieces... Even if they are " cheaper " than other European models, they have a cost, and I'am afraid this money is lost... If you want a nice enamel dial, maybe it's better ... 

the problem is that i specifically want a dragon dial. it doesnt need

to be enamel. i was born in the year of the dragon and love the chinese influence. i am not specifically looking for a chinese watch or an enamel dial. its just the dragon thats important to me. i missed out on a superb Corum artisan. i've sort of gone of...

What about a 5 minutes repeater with a marvelously engraved and lacquered dragon? Nivrel offers a beautiful watch that is also a very well sounding repeater, and it is not overly expensive. Unfortunately, I have no larger pic, but here is a small preview:...  

If you look at my past post about China watch ...

It's Beijing Watch that I have been talking, and not Seagull. The price and finishing is 'fair', meaning they don't rip you off. The buying experience is something else... And I suggest for you to actually look at the actual watch to decide, don't just de... 

How about a Peter Speake-Marin?

There's a very nice double dragon engraving on one of PSM's dials. Of course its not enamel but its very well executed. Here's the link click here
