Over 2,000 years ago, the bianqing rang out at the rituals of the Han Dynasty, and its shape now guides the hammer of the Lucky Harvey Chiming Watch 2.0. At the turn of each hour, it strikes a circular gong, and a discreet button lets you silence it whenever you prefer. Framing a big date at 12 o'clock, the dial, in silver, blue or green, is brushed by hand in fine radial lines, a process roughly 100 times slower than machine finishing.

Inside the 40mm case in Grade 5 titanium, the brand's own LH003 automatic runs on 30 jewels at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with around 40 hours of power reserve. Its gold-toned rotor, guilloché and Geneva stripes are on view through a sapphire caseback. At 11mm thin and just 97 grams on a matching bracelet with folding clasp, it wears lightly, with luminous hands for low light and water resistance to 50 meters (5 ATM). Made to be heard as much as seen.
