CronusArt CM36-001 Sunrise at the Forbidden City

From Cronus Art

When the timeless grandeur of the Forbidden City's Hall of Supreme Harmony meets contemporary haute horlogerie, a new expression of mechanical art is born. Sunrise at the Forbidden City draws inspiration from the first light illuminating the palace rooftops—an enduring symbol of power, harmony, and renewal throughout Chinese history. The architectural silhouette of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is reimagined within an open-worked dial, where traditional Eastern aesthetics merge seamlessly with advanced materials and precision engineering. Encased in lightweight NTPT carbon fiber and powered by a skeletonized mechanical movement, this timepiece celebrates the dialogue between ancient craftsmanship and modern innovation. It is more than a watch—it is a tribute to cultural heritage, transformed into wearable mechanical art.
