Description
A refined mechanical timepiece that celebrates magnolia blossoms through mother-of-pearl artistry and elegant Shanghai design.
Inspiration & Design
The Magnolia 36mm from Shanghai Watches is a poetic tribute to feminine grace and enduring beauty. Set against a deep black backdrop, mother-of-pearl mosaics bloom into magnolia blossoms - branches alive with fragrance, shadow, and quiet movement. The composition evokes a courtyard in bloom, where elegance and vitality flourish across every detail.
This layered dial design reflects the magnolia’s cultural symbolism of purity, strength, and resilience, transforming traditional motifs into a contemporary expression of artistry and refinement.
Dial & Case Details
Encircling the dial is a radiant halo of 52 cubic zirconia stones, meticulously set to frame the watch with luminous brilliance. Their sparkle symbolises multifaceted feminine allure - luxurious yet graceful, captivating without excess.
The case design continues this dialogue between structure and artistry. Echoing traditional scroll rods, the sculpted lugs draw inspiration from the huakou clasps of a qipao, seamlessly merging form and ornamentation. These refined metallic accents frame the dial like a painting, celebrating feminine elegance and Shanghai’s timeless charm.
Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and durability, while the watch’s balanced proportions maintain an elegant presence on the wrist.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the Magnolia is a self-winding mechanical movement, offering dependable performance and classic three-hand timekeeping. Visible through the transparent sapphire caseback, the movement is finished with fish-scale polishing, adding texture and refinement that elevate engineering precision into an art form.
This mechanical heart reflects Shanghai Watches’ longstanding commitment to craftsmanship and enduring quality.
Strap & Wearability
The Magnolia Blossom Silver is paired with a refined leather strap, designed for comfort and versatility. Its 36mm case size offers a graceful fit across a wide range of wrists, making it suitable for both formal occasions and elevated everyday wear.
Light, balanced, and thoughtfully designed, the watch wears with effortless elegance.
The Shanghai Watches Magnolia Blossom Silver 36mm is a celebration of artistry, culture, and mechanical tradition. From its mother-of-pearl magnolia dial to its jewel-set case and intricately finished movement, every element is composed with intention - a timepiece that embodies beauty with depth and meaning.
