  • NewLIMITED EDITION Lucky Harvey Jackpot Machine SS Lucky Harvey Jackpot Machine SS

    Lucky Harvey Jackpot Machine SS

    The Lucky Harvey Jackpot Machine Watch reimagines the familiar excitement of a slot machine through mechanical watchmaking. At its centre is an interactive display that invites engagement: press the pusher, and the roulette-style reels spin, transforming timekeeping into a moment of play. Rather than treating interactivity as novelty, Lucky Harvey integrates it into a mechanically grounded timepiece. Beneath the playful surface lies a dependable automatic movement, housed in a case designed for everyday wear. The result is a watch that balances amusement with substance - expressive, tactile, and unmistakably character-driven. Why We Curated This A rare interactive mechanical watch that encourages play without sacrificing wearability A strong conversation piece that still functions as a practical daily timekeeper A clever reinterpretation of gaming culture through mechanical design Design & Inspiration The Jackpot Machine draws inspiration from classic casino slot machines, translating spinning reels and chance-based excitement into a mechanical format. The dial layout echoes the familiar three-window display, while the pusher action delivers a tactile sense of anticipation. Despite its playful reference, the design remains composed rather than chaotic. Clear typography, balanced proportions, and thoughtful finishing ensure the watch remains readable and wearable - even when the reels are in motion. Interactive Mechanism A gentle press activates the spinning mechanism, setting two rotating elements in motion - finished with either white ceramic beads or 18K gold bearings, depending on the variant. At the same time, the symbols displayed in the window at the 6 o’clock position begin to switch rapidly, introducing an element of chance to the experience. The interaction is entirely mechanical. There are no electronics or digital components - only gears, springs, and motion. When three identical symbols align, it delivers a small but unmistakable moment of mechanical satisfaction: unpredictable, tactile, and quietly joyful. Designed for repeated use, the mechanism offers engagement without compromising the watch’s role as a reliable everyday timepiece. On the Wrist Despite its interactive nature, the Jackpot Machine wears comfortably on the wrist. The case proportions are designed to avoid unnecessary bulk, while the curved profile allows it to sit naturally throughout the day. Whether worn casually or as a statement piece, it’s a watch that invites curiosity without demanding constant attention. Available Variants Available in Stainless Steel (SS), Rose Gold (RG), and PVD, each version brings a different visual personality while sharing the same mechanical core. Lucky Harvey Jackpot Machine SS: clean, contemporary, and versatile Lucky Harvey Jackpot Machine RG: warm-toned with a bolder presence Lucky Harvey Jackpot Machine PVD: darker, more graphic, and expressive Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 100 pieces available worldwide Case size: 43mm Case material: Stainless steel Case back: Stainless steel with engraving Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: In-house LH000 movement incorporating automata Power reserve: Approx 40hrs Dial: Slot machine-inspired mechanical display; lume-tipped hands Glass: Sapphire Water resistance: 3ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Fluororubber/leather hybrid  Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Warranty: 2 years

    Shanghai Watches Qiongjing Guilloché Green

    A Shanghai Watches mechanical timepiece defined by its domed sapphire crystal and open-heart design, inspired by the concept of a “Dome Realm.” Inspiration & Design The Qiongjing (穹境) collection from Shanghai Watches takes its name from the idea of a Dome Realm: a poetic expression of depth, space, and upward perspective. Rooted in traditional Chinese aesthetics, the design centres on curvature and balance, drawing the eye inward toward the beating heart of the watch. This philosophy comes to life through the combination of a pronounced domed crystal and an open-heart dial layout, creating a sense of architectural space and visual harmony. Subtle Chinese characters on the dial reinforce the watch’s cultural identity, grounding modern mechanical design in heritage craftsmanship. Dial & Case Details Housed in a 42.5mm stainless steel case, the Qiongjing carries a confident yet refined presence on the wrist. The defining feature is its highly domed sapphire crystal, which enhances depth and magnifies the dial’s intricate details from every angle. Available in green or blue guilloché dials, each variant offers a different expression of light and texture while maintaining the same elegant structure. The guilloché pattern adds classical refinement, while applied indices and a balanced layout ensure clarity and legibility. Water-resistant to 3ATM, the watch is designed for everyday wear while preserving its dress-leaning sophistication. Movement & Mechanics At the heart of the Qiongjing is the Shanghai F28 automatic movement, a mechanical calibre that reflects the brand’s longstanding watchmaking tradition. Visible through the open-heart aperture, the movement adds both visual interest and mechanical authenticity. Key features include: Automatic winding Hour and minute display Small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock Open-heart balance display Approximately 45-hour power reserve This movement delivers dependable performance while celebrating the beauty of mechanical motion - a hallmark of Shanghai Watches. Strap & Wearability The Qiongjing is paired with a leather strap chosen to complement the dial colour, enhancing the watch’s refined character. Comfortable on the wrist and well-proportioned, the watch transitions effortlessly from formal settings to everyday wear. Its domed profile, balanced case design, and thoughtful detailing make it a piece that feels substantial yet elegant, ideal for those who appreciate mechanical artistry with cultural depth.
