On the global watchmaking industry's pinnacle stage—the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG)—a name from China once again shone brightly. In 2025, Kongque Watch (Peacock Watch) made its appearance at the "Oscars of Watchmaking." This is not merely the accolade of a single timepiece; it represents the evolution of a Chinese watchmaking legend—one that began in the workshops decades ago, weathered the tides of time, embraced modernity, and now stands on the world stage, imbued with historical resonance and innovative brilliance through the fusion of precision craftsmanship and Oriental aesthetics. Kongque Watch's participation in this international selection process not only showcases the brand's pursuit of excellence and capabilities but also marks a significant stride for Chinese watchmaking in actively presenting itself on the international haute horlogerie platform.
一、峥嵘岁月铸就品牌底色 Years of Glory Shape the Brand’s Foundation
孔雀表正式成立于1957年,那是中国制表工业刚刚起步的年代。它诞生于辽宁丹东——这座在上世纪被誉为“中国制表重镇”的城市。初创时期,制表设备与原材料极其匮乏,但孔雀表的匠人们凭借着专注与毅力,在简陋的条件下打造出质量过硬的“前进牌”“孔雀牌”腕表。
Peacock Watch was officially founded in 1957, at the dawn of China's watchmaking industry. It originated in Dandong, Liaoning Province, a city hailed as a "Chinese watchmaking powerhouse" in the last century. In its early days, watchmaking equipment and raw materials were extremely scarce. However, Peacock Watch's craftsmen, with their dedication and perseverance, crafted high-quality "Qianjin" and "Peacock" watches under these humble conditions.
在那个年代,一只孔雀表不仅是一件计时工具,更是许多人一生的重要礼物,承载着情感与回忆。它的稳定性能和优雅造型,让它成为中国钟表工业的一张名片。几十年来,孔雀表不仅见证了国家工业化进程,也记录下几代中国人的生活与梦想。这段峥嵘岁月,成为品牌日后不断发展的厚实根基。
In that era, a Peacock Watch was not merely a timekeeping instrument; it served as a significant gift marking life milestones for many, holding within it profound emotions and cherished memories. Renowned for its dependable accuracy and elegant design, the timepiece became an ambassador for Chinese watchmaking. Over decades, Peacock Watches have not only borne witness to the nation's industrialization but also chronicled the lives and dreams of generations of Chinese people. These formative years of perseverance forged the bedrock upon which the brand's enduring legacy continues to build.
二、外观与款型亮相:Peacock 1950 和 Peacock 1953 双星登场 Appearance and Model Showcase: Peacock 1950 and Peacock 1953 Make a Twin-Star Debut
Peacock 1950(Perfection Classic 1950 “Chronograph”)
Peacock 1950 灵感源自20世纪50至60年代中国军用计时码表,呈现深厚历史感与功能性之美。它采用38.5毫米的 904L 航钛钢 表壳,拉丝与抛光工艺交错处理,边缘修饰以“窄眼圈”式细边设计,提升视觉张力与佩戴舒适度。
The Peacock 1950 draws inspiration from Chinese military chronographs of the 1950s-1960s, embodying profound historical resonance and functional aesthetics. Housed in a 38.5mm case crafted from aerospace-grade 904L steel, it features alternating brushed and polished finishes. The "narrow-eyering" fine-edge bezel design enhances visual dynamism while ensuring wearing comfort.
表盘选用铜质打磨面,搭配镌刻式阿拉伯数字时标,呼应传统雕刻手法;轨道式分钟刻度与测距圈融合怀旧与实用美学,时刻诉说着时间的力量与情怀。镀黑指针、立体刻度及层次分明的盘面,整体呈现沉稳典雅的视觉效果,宛如佩戴历史中的一段荣耀。
A hand-finished copper dial pairs with engraved Arabic numeral hour markers, paying homage to traditional craftsmanship. The integrated railroad minute track and telemeter scale blend nostalgic charm with utilitarian appeal, whispering tales of time’s passage. Rhodium-plated blackened hands, three-dimensional indices, and a multi-tiered dial converge into a poised, elegant visual narrative — as though wearing a fragment of history itself.
Peacock 1953(Perfection Classic 1953 “Aircraft Hand”)
Peacock 1953 借鉴1970年代中国“红旗表”怀旧飞机指针风格,飞机秒针采用手工烧钛工艺,孔雀匠人手工精准控温,抓住那一抹蓝紫交替、光影斑斓璀璨色泽,时分针采用五面批花工艺打造,尽显卓绝匠心。
The Peacock 1953 draws inspiration from the nostalgic aircraft-shaped hands of 1970s Chinese "Red Flag" watches. Its titanium aircraft seconds hand undergoes hand-torched finishing — where Peacock artisans apply precise thermal control to capture that fleeting iridescent indigo-to-violet gradient, shimmering with spectral luminosity. Hour and minute hands are masterfully executed in five-facet guilloché, epitomizing peerless craftsmanship.
深绿色渐变表盘模拟鸭绿江水流光,搭配镌刻风格的阿拉伯数字,6 点位日期窗隐藏断桥与和平鸽图案,传递和平与历史记忆,同时融合古典书法笔触与工艺的精致表达。表径同为38.5毫米,厚度仅9.4毫米,整体精致贴合,配以 NOVONAPPA 小牛皮表带,细节中彰显东方审美与匠心品质。
A deep green graduated dial evokes the shimmering currents of the Yalu River, paired with engraved Arabic numerals. At 6 o’clock, a discreet date window conceals engraved motifs of a broken bridge and a dove of peace — symbolizing historical memory and harmony — while harmonizing classical calligraphic strokes with micro-engraving precision. With a refined 38.5mm diameter and slender 9.4mm profile, it wears with ergonomic elegance. Paired with a NOVONAPPA calfskin strap, every detail resonates with Eastern aesthetics and artisanal integrity.
三、技术实力:坚实机芯与复杂功能加持 Technical Prowess: Powered by Robust Movements and Complex Functions
外观之下,是孔雀表多年技术积累的沉淀。
Its beauty conceals a heritage honed by decades of innovation and skill.
Peacock 1950—复杂计时匠心之作 A Masterpiece of Complex Chronometry
同属“Perfection Classic”系列的两个颜色,其中“曙”限量36枚,“霰”则不限量。他们搭载孔雀自产 PAX8610 手动计时机芯,结构引用传统 Venus 175 水平离合+导柱轮控制机构,确保计时启动、停止与复位精准顺畅。机芯整体手工修饰精致,包括倒角桥板与日内瓦纹理,展现极致匠心。38小时动力储存与21600 次/小时振频保证稳定表现,全表误差控制在高标准之内。背盖刻有鸭绿江断桥坐标与细节刻纹,兼具纪念与品鉴价值。
Both variants belong to the "Perfection Classic" collection: the "SHU" limited to 36 pieces, and the "XIAN" as a non-limited edition. They are powered by Peacock’s in-house caliber PAX8610 — a manual-wind chronograph movement employing a traditional Venus 175-derived architecture with horizontal clutch and column wheel control, ensuring precise actuation during start, stop, and reset functions.
The movement features elevated hand-finishing, including beveled bridges and Côtes de Genève striping, epitomizing horological artistry. With a 38-hour power reserve and 21,600 vph frequency, it delivers consistent performance within stringent accuracy thresholds. The caseback is engraved with the geographic coordinates and structural details of the Yalu River Broken Bridge, merging commemorative significance with connoisseur-grade craftsmanship.
Peacock 1953—优雅实用与精准兼备 Elegance, Practicality, and Precision in Perfect Harmony
Peacock 1953 搭载自动上链 PAX6910 机械机芯,振频 28800 vph、动力储存38小时,通过五方位调校确保准确度,并将复杂装饰与实用功能集成于一体。它主打简约实用功能:时、分、秒、日期,还在6点日历窗中融入了鸭绿江断桥和和平鸽图案,充满东方韵味与记忆符号。
The Peacock 1953 houses the self-winding caliber PAX6910, operating at 28,800 vph with a 38-hour power reserve. Regulated to five-position precision, it integrates sophisticated decoration with utilitarian functionality. Its minimalist display features hours, minutes, seconds, and a date aperture at 6 o’clock — subtly engraved with motifs of the Yalu River Broken Bridge and a peace dove, embodying distinctive Eastern symbolism and historical resonance.
值得一提的是,孔雀表在陀飞轮领域的突破尤为显著。早在2003年,它就首次成功研发陀飞轮手表,是国内最早将陀飞轮腕表形成规模生产的企业;2013年,又在双陀飞轮技术上取得成功。而在近年的Avant系列中,孔雀表更推出了国内首枚五天动力中置陀飞轮腕表,在动力持续性与稳定性方面实现跨越式提升。此次参选作品将机械结构与功能美学完美融合,让人看到了中国制表工艺的多维度突破。
Notably, Peacock Watch has achieved groundbreaking advancements in tourbillon technology. As early as 2003, it pioneered China's first domestically developed tourbillon wristwatch, becoming the nation's earliest enterprise to achieve scaled tourbillon production. In 2013, it mastered the dual tourbillon complication. Recently, within its Avant collection, Peacock unveiled China's inaugural five-day power reserve centered tourbillon, realizing quantum leaps in energy autonomy and stability. The current GPHG submission exemplifies perfect fusion of mechanical architecture and functional aesthetics, showcasing China's multi-dimensional breakthroughs in precision watchmaking artistry.
