Playful, expressive, and full of character - the SEVENFRIDAY T2/08 “T-Riley Music” brings art, music, and optimism into a limited-edition timepiece designed to stand out.
Inspiration & Design
The T2/08 celebrates creativity, positivity, and self-expression through the character of Riley - a recurring SEVENFRIDAY motif.
Set against a vibrant backdrop of flowers, music notes, and playful elements, Riley comes alive on the dial, transforming the watch into more than a timekeeper. It becomes a wearable expression of energy and individuality, reflecting a lighter and more artistic side of the brand.
Dial & Case Details
The semi-transparent dial reveals a four-layer construction, combining mechanical depth with colourful artwork.
Housed in a 45 mm stainless steel case with golden brown PVD coating, the watch balances its playful dial with a structured industrial frame. Grooved bezel lines filled with blue Berlac lacquer add contrast, while gold-tone hands with luminescent tips ensure readability.
A hardened K1 mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial while maintaining clarity across its layered design.
Movement & Features
The T2/08 is powered by the skeleton TMI NH70A automatic movement, offering approximately 41 hours of power reserve.
The caseback features custom Riley artwork, reinforcing its limited-edition character. An embedded NFC chip enables secure authentication and registration via the SEVENFRIDAY App.
Bracelet / Strap & Wearability
The watch is paired with a petrol-blue silicone strap, offering comfort and flexibility for everyday wear.
Its lighter T-Series construction ensures a more compact and wearable feel, while the strap enhances its casual, expressive identity.
Collector Positioning
The T2/08 is suited for collectors who appreciate watches as creative expressions - a limited-edition piece that combines design, storytelling, and individuality.

Dark, minimal, and immersive - the SEVENFRIDAY T3/03 refines the T-Series design language through an all-black execution, focusing on depth, transparency, and movement.
Inspiration & Design
The T3/03 explores SEVENFRIDAY’s signature interplay of transparency and layering in a more restrained, monochromatic form.
Its design centres on the idea of “diving into the interface,” where gradients, shadows, and mechanical elements work together to create a sense of depth and immersion. The result is a watch that feels focused, modern, and quietly expressive.
Dial & Case Details
The T3/03 features a semi-transparent dial constructed using sun lens material, creating subtle gradients that shift with light and viewing angle.
Its all-black case enhances this effect, allowing the layered dial and skeleton elements to take centre stage. The use of tonal contrast rather than colour gives the watch a more controlled and cohesive aesthetic.
The same sun lens material is also used in SEVENFRIDAY’s Icon Tiny sunglasses, reinforcing the brand’s cross-disciplinary design approach.
Movement & Features
The T3/03 is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, delivering reliable performance for everyday wear.
An NFC chip embedded in the caseback enables secure authentication and registration via the SEVENFRIDAY App.
Bracelet / Strap & Wearability
As part of the T-Series, the T3/03 features a smaller, thinner, and lighter case profile compared to other SEVENFRIDAY collections.
This makes it particularly suitable for those who prefer a more compact and wearable watch, while still retaining the brand’s layered and mechanical design identity.
Collector Positioning
The T3/03 is suited for collectors who appreciate a more minimal and monochromatic interpretation of SEVENFRIDAY’s design - a piece that focuses on depth, tone, and subtle detail.

The Shanghai Watch 1955 Moonphase 39mm marks 70 years of Chinese watchmaking with a design that leans into classical dress watch codes.
It combines a traditional moonphase complication with restrained proportions, resulting in a piece that feels considered rather than commemorative.
Inspiration & Design
The 1955 series references the early years of Shanghai Watch - a period that defined the foundations of China’s mechanical watch industry.
This anniversary edition stays close to that intent. The design is formal, symmetrical, and grounded in traditional watchmaking cues, with the moonphase complication integrated as a functional highlight rather than a decorative addition.
Dial & Case Details
The dial is structured around balance and legibility, with the moonphase display positioned to anchor the layout.
Applied indices and fine printing keep the visual weight controlled, allowing the complication to stand out without overwhelming the dial.
The 39mm case is proportioned for versatility - compact enough for dress wear, yet present enough for daily use.
Movement & Mechanics
The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement with a moonphase complication.
The focus is on functional reliability, delivering a complication typically associated with higher-end watchmaking in a more accessible format.
Strap & Wearability
Paired with a leather strap, the watch wears slim and close to the wrist.
The 39mm size and balanced case profile make it suitable across a wide range of wrist sizes, particularly for those who prefer a classic dress watch fit.
Final Impression
This is a piece that works best when viewed in context.
Rather than competing on finishing or complexity, it offers something more specific - a commemorative watch that reflects Shanghai Watch’s role in the early development of Chinese horology, with a complication that adds both function and depth.

The Shanghai Watch Auspicious Steeds Limited Edition brings traditional Chinese symbolism into a contemporary mechanical watch format.
Its mother-of-pearl dial serves as both a decorative surface and a storytelling element, setting it apart from the brand’s more restrained models.
Inspiration & Cultural Design
The “Auspicious Steeds” theme draws from traditional Chinese cultural motifs, where horses symbolise strength, progress, and success.
This narrative is translated onto the dial through detailed artwork, creating a watch that leans more toward artistic expression than conventional dress watch minimalism.
Unlike the Pioneer or 1955 series, this piece is designed to be visually engaging first, with heritage references embedded into the design.
Dial & Case Details
The mother-of-pearl dial forms the foundation of the watch’s identity.
Its natural iridescence creates shifting tones under light, adding depth and variation that cannot be replicated through standard dial finishes.
The engraved or printed horse motif sits against this surface, giving the watch a layered, almost dimensional quality.
The 40mm case provides enough space for the dial artwork to be appreciated without feeling oversized on the wrist.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the watch is the self-winding ST812 automatic movement, delivering dependable accuracy and approximately 42 hours of power reserve.
The transparent sapphire caseback reveals a decorated movement finished with traditional fish-scale engraving - a subtle mechanical detail that complements the artistry on the dial.
Reliable, refined, and built for everyday wear.
Strap & Wearability
Paired with a leather strap, the watch maintains a dress-oriented profile despite its more expressive dial.
At 40mm, it wears slightly more contemporary than traditional dress watches, making it easier to integrate into both formal and smart-casual settings.
Final Impression
This is not a conventional dress watch.
It sits closer to a wearable piece of design - where cultural symbolism and material choice take precedence over restraint.
For the right wearer, that distinction is exactly the appeal.

The Shanghai Watch Auspicious Steeds Starry Dial Limited Edition offers a more restrained interpretation of the series, combining sculptural relief work with a darker, more controlled dial.
It retains the symbolic narrative while shifting the overall tone toward something quieter and more versatile.
Inspiration & Design
The “Auspicious Steeds” motif draws from traditional Chinese symbolism, where the horse represents strength, momentum, and progress.
In this version, the composition is set against a starry-textured dial, evoking a night-sky backdrop. This creates a different visual dynamic - one that emphasises contrast and depth rather than colour intensity.
The result is a design that feels more atmospheric, with the motif emerging gradually depending on light.
Dial & Case Details
The aventurine dial creates a deep night-sky effect, with mineral flecks sparkling like distant constellations. Under shifting light, the surface reveals subtle movement - like a miniature galaxy captured beneath sapphire crystal.
At its centre rises the hand-sculpted 18K gold horse, carved in relief with flowing mane and powerful stance. The gold engraving contrasts dramatically against the dark celestial backdrop, creating visual depth and dimensional tension.
The 40mm case is crafted from 316L stainless steel and finished in warm PVD gold, balancing durability with refined presence. The metallic tone harmonises naturally with the gold relief while remaining suitable for everyday wear.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the Starry Dial edition is the self-winding ST812 automatic movement, offering dependable accuracy and approximately 42 hours of power reserve.
The transparent sapphire caseback reveals a decorated movement finished with traditional fish-scale engraving - a classical mechanical detail that complements the watch’s celestial theme.
Beneath the cosmic surface lies steady, disciplined engineering.
Strap & Wearability
Thoughtful proportions and a curved case profile ensure comfortable daily wear despite the dial’s sculptural depth. The balanced 40mm size provides presence without excess, making the watch suitable for both formal occasions and expressive everyday styling.
The gold-toned architecture adds warmth, while the aventurine dial introduces a subtle, captivating glow that never feels overpowering.
Final Impression
The Shanghai Auspicious Steeds Starry Dial transforms symbolism into atmosphere. By pairing 18K gold relief engraving with aventurine’s cosmic shimmer, it offers a poetic yet grounded expression of ambition.
Limited, sculptural, and mechanically sound - a watch that carries success written across the stars.

The Shanghai Watch Commander Dive 39mm is built as a compact, functional dive watch designed for everyday reliability.
It combines a robust case with a clean, legible layout, keeping the focus on usability.
Inspiration & Cultural Design
The Commander series traces its origins to the 1960s, when the Shanghai Watch Factory developed the 114 Series - China’s first self-designed military automatic diving watch.
Built for the People’s Liberation Army, it was engineered for durability, with shock resistance, anti-magnetism, and water resistance up to 200 meters. Issued to division-level commanders, it became associated with leadership and reliability in demanding conditions.
The modern Commander Diver draws from this foundation, retaining the utilitarian design language while updating performance to meet contemporary standards, including increased water resistance.
The result is a watch that balances historical reference with practical functionality.
Dial & Case Details
The black dial provides maximum contrast, ensuring strong legibility across different lighting environments.
Markers and hands are designed for clear visibility, supporting the watch’s tool-oriented purpose.
The 39mm case keeps the watch compact while maintaining the presence expected of a dive watch.
A unidirectional bezel supports timing functionality, while a sapphire crystal protects the dial.
Movement & Mechanics
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch delivers dependable performance for daily and active use.
The focus remains on reliability and consistency under regular wear.
Strap & Wearability
The watch comes with three strap options - a metal bracelet, leather strap, and NATO strap - allowing it to adapt across different uses and settings.
This flexibility lets the watch shift easily between a more robust, tool-oriented feel and a lighter, more casual configuration.
Despite its functional design, the 39mm case remains comfortable on the wrist, making it suitable for extended wear across both daily and active use.
Final Impression
This is a straightforward, functional dive watch.
It focuses on usability and durability, offering a more compact alternative within the category.

The Shanghai Watch Magnolia Blossom Silver presents a refined, design-led interpretation of floral symbolism through material and texture.
Rather than relying on bold contrast, it builds depth through light, surface, and proportion.
Inspiration & Design
The Magnolia series draws from the flower’s association with resilience and quiet strength.
Instead of literal illustration, the dial interprets this through layered mother-of-pearl elements, allowing the motif to emerge subtly through reflection and movement.
This approach keeps the design controlled, with visual interest developing over time rather than at first glance.
Dial & Case Details
The dial is constructed using mother-of-pearl, creating soft tonal variation as light shifts across the surface.
Surrounding the dial is a bezel set with cubic zirconia, adding a controlled level of brilliance without overwhelming the composition.
The case design incorporates subtle references to traditional Chinese forms, with refined lugs that frame the dial cleanly.
At 36mm, the proportions remain compact and balanced on the wrist.
Movement & Mechanics
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch delivers reliable daily performance.
A sapphire caseback reveals a decorated movement with traditional finishing, adding a secondary layer of detail.
Strap & Wearability
Paired with a leather strap, the watch wears light and comfortably.
The 36mm size makes it particularly suitable for smaller wrists, while the neutral dial allows it to transition easily across different settings.
Final Impression
It focuses on material, light, and proportion rather than strong visual statements, allowing the dial to reveal more detail over time.

Inspiration & Design
The Pioneer series reflects Shanghai Watch’s more modern direction, focusing on clarity, proportion, and everyday usability.
