INSPIRED BY CHINESE CULTURE
BEHRENS' mechanical creativity burst forth once again. The spirit of chinese martial arts, which is based on the principles of "combining strength and softness, and cultivating both inside and outside", has been incorporated into the art of high-end watchmaking by means of craftmanship and professional watchmaking techniques.
COLLABORATING WITH QIAN GUOBIAO
In collaboration with Mr. Qian Guabiao, a veteran independant watchmaker, Behrens brings forth unique fusion of tradition andinnovation.
DESIGN INSPIRATION
The overall design of the watch dial is inspired by the half-liang coin of the "Qin Dynasty" (B.C. 221 - B.C. 227) in China, demonstrating the oriental wisdom of "round on the outside, square on the inside".
The power reserve display inspired by "plum blossom stakes" used in traditional Chinese martial arts practice, features a lifting running pointer, making the watch uniquely ornamental and interesting.
The hands of KUNG FU are inspired by crossbow of the Qin Dynasty. The design is exquisite and powerful, embodying the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient China.
About Behrens
Independent watch brand, Behrens, is based in Hong Kong and specialises in watchmaking and watch modification. The brand is guided by German architect and designer, Peter Behrens' design philosophy, which is: “...to continue innovating is always been our life goal. All watches are fixed in form and have the design of all looking alike. If we need to break that pattern, we will have to break it from the root -- the movement.” Behrens has been modifying its own movements for many years. With every Behrens watch that you choose, you can look forward to having an art piece on your wrist that comes with unique complications.
