The Minber watch, with its innovative design and precise Miyota movement, has won the Bronze Award at the 5th Miyota China Watch Design Competition in 2024, showcasing craftsmanship and quality.

🏆 Award Background

Miyota, a globally renowned high-end movement brand under the CITIZEN Group of Japan, is known for its exceptional precision manufacturing technology and stable performance. Miyota movements are widely used by watch brands around the world and have become an industry benchmark due to their innovative design concepts and stringent quality standards.

To recognize brands with outstanding innovation in design and watchmaking, Miyota hosts an official watch design competition annually, inviting partner brands from various countries and regions to participate. This award not only reflects a brand's innovation in combining aesthetic design with movement technology but also represents international recognition of the brand's overall strength.

This year, our company stood out among numerous entries with the unique design concept and meticulous attention to detail of the "Space Station and Orbit" watch, winning the Miyota Official Design Award and becoming one of the few brands to receive this prestigious honor.

Design Concept

The dial design is inspired by the structure of a space station. Each movement of the hour, minute, and second hands simulates the station's orbit around Earth, seamlessly connecting the passage of time with the vastness of space. The dial's layout resembles that of a space station's cabin, and the movement of the hands embodies both mechanical precision and the order and infinite possibilities of the universe. Every time you raise your wrist to read the time, it feels like a miniature space journey, transporting the wearer through the depths of time and space.

In watch design, achieving spatial depth is a crucial challenge. This watch utilizes the Miyota Cal. 8N24 skeleton movement, ingeniously combined with the design to create a uniquely expressive effect, with inventive details woven throughout. Traditionally, the display of hours, minutes, and seconds follows the principle of a fine second hand and a coarse hour hand, rooted in a concept of "time" based on the solar system. However, viewing this watch invites the thought: perhaps, in the vast universe, a vastly different form of "time" exists. This design seems to express the watch's unique values, inviting us to explore the infinite possibilities of time.
