Shanghai Watch – Originate Collection 50s “Five Blessings” Edition
Creating a blessing-inspired scene, infusing time with Shanghai’s meaning of good fortune.
Where Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi, and Cai gather, prosperity and joy follow.
A watch does more than measure time—it carries wishes, culture, and heritage. The Originate Collection 50s Five Blessings Edition draws inspiration from Old Shanghai’s traditional Five Blessings culture, seamlessly blending Eastern philosophy with classic mechanical watchmaking to give every moment deeper significance.
Five Blessings United · A Life of Fulfillment
The golden dial features refined motifs representing the Five Blessings—Fu (Luck), Lu (Prosperity), Shou (Longevity), Xi (Joy), and Cai (Wealth)—each symbolizing one of life’s greatest aspirations:
• Fu (Luck) — Abundant blessings, harmony, and well-being
• Lu (Prosperity) — Career success and upward progress
• Shou (Longevity) — Health, vitality, and a long life
• Xi (Joy) — Love, celebration, and family happiness
• Cai (Wealth) — Fortune, opportunity, and abundance
Together, the Five Blessings express completeness, balance, and auspicious fortune.
Five Elements & Five Colors · Harmony in Motion
Five colored zircon stones are delicately set on the dial, each corresponding to the Five Elements (Wu Xing) and their traditional colors—an embodiment of balance, vitality, and the natural order of the universe:
• 🔴 Red | Fire — Passion, warmth, and dynamic energy
• 🟢 Green | Wood — Growth, vitality, and renewal
• ⚪ White | Metal — Purity, strength, and refinement
• ⚫ Black | Water — Depth, wisdom, and adaptability
• 🟡 Yellow | Earth — Stability, virtue, and prosperity
Through the harmony of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements symbolize smooth fortune and enduring balance.
The watch features a gold-toned dial accented with an 18K gold applied logo, adding a luxurious touch symbolic of success and prestige. The arched sapphire crystal enhances clarity and durability, while the 316L stainless steel case echoes the rounded vintage aesthetic of Shanghai’s early mechanical icons. The retro floral window caseback further honours the brand’s legacy.
Inside beats the dependable ST2130 automatic movement (39 mm) offering up to 42 hours of power reserve respectively. Smooth sweep, precision engineering, and robust construction make this a timepiece built for generations.
Available in 39 mm with brown leather strap equipped with a quick-release mechanism for effortless style changes.
Whether worn for festive celebrations, gifted to mark life’s milestones, or treasured as a symbol of good fortune, the Five Blessings Edition is more than a watch—it is a cultural talisman infused with Eastern wisdom and timeless elegance.
One timepiece. Five blessings.
Every moment, blessed with meaning.
