Notably, this is the world’s first pocket watch model with a Chinese perpetual calendar (Lunar calendar), possessing 11 features displaying Lunar New Year dates for 20 years.
It took 3 top artisans a year to assemble thousands of details in the watch (Photo: Hodinkee).
According to Chen Ji – a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Science and Technology of China, the lunar calendar is complex due to the flexible change in length of months and years.
Besides the complicated perpetual calendar, the watch also possesses a series of other amazing features.

According to the inventor, the watch is capable of keeping time very accurately thanks to a complex feature that helps resist the effects of gravity.
`The watch regulator has to go through many testing stages with an error of 2 seconds/day, while the machine has to control up to 2,877 details,` director Selmoni revealed.
The director commented that the company’s latest `time machine` is a combination of high-level mathematics and mechanics.
