The Concept
The Concept
Continuing its commitment to modernist design principles, Behrens has once again seamlessly woven traditional Chinese cultural motifs into its latest masterpiece. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Chinese historical artifact known as the "Hu," a flat scepter utilized for recording notes and decrees, this new watch series pays homage to a bygone era of cultural significance.
During the illustrious Tang dynasty, the "Hu" held particular prominence, adorning the belts of officials as both a symbol of authority and a practical tool for documenting royal edicts. Across East Asia, from China to Japan, Korea, and Ryukyu, the "Hu" served as a timeless emblem of governance and cultural heritage.
In crafting this new series, Behrens artfully channels the essence of the "Hu," embracing its distinctive curved form and slender profile. Integrating the case and movement seamlessly, Behrens engineers have achieved a harmonious fusion, where functionality and aesthetics converge on a non-traditional canvas.
By curving both the case and the movement, Behrens not only reduces overall thickness but also enhances wearability, ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist. Leveraging years of expertise in horological craftsmanship, the brand has meticulously designed a curved movement, with each connecting gear precisely angled at 15 degrees for optimal performance and aesthetic appeal.
In essence, this innovative design approach not only pays homage to ancient traditions but also exemplifies Behrens' unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking.
