Champion

Title of Design: Navigator I
Contestant: Team 1 Design Limited

 

When I was still a child, I had always read stories about world adventures, and I had always dreamt to explore the world in a ship named “NAVIGATOR I”, voyaging through the stories of world adventure…… This timepiece makes my dream come true. Whenever I'm wearing it, I feel like sailing the ocean on a stunning vintage ship.

 

The design is composed of two parts: Hours and Minutes. When you turn the crown, the gear wheel in the case will be driven, thereby rotating the Hours part at the same time. The triangle mark on the Hours part will be turned to point at the desired city name and displayed the local time.

 

The world time zones can be easily displayed on the wrist with a small twist, as though we can instantly travel to any other parts of the world. This timepiece is “NAVIGATOR I”.

Title of Design: Light Up My Life
Contestant: Wong Ting Bong

(Sponsoring Company: Youngs Watch Company Limited )

 

My design is dedicated to Thomas Edison. Edison once said “What we imagined can be achieved.” Without his strong belief, he might not have become the great inventor of electric light bulb that had changed our lives today. When we were small, the bulbs lit up the darkness, ensuring us a safe and comfortable environment. Oftentimes, it can even warm up our life. The light not only lit up my life, but it can also light up yours.

 

2nd Runner-up

Title of Design: Castle
Contestant: Leung Ho Him

(Sponsoring Company: Wincy Horological Ltd )

 

I have a natural and the simplest dream, without any worries.

 

I have been dreaming to be a prince, who owns and lives in a safe, sumptuous castle with my beloved princess. Every day, I’ll be strolling around the castle with her. What an ideal and perfect life!

 

This dream is reflected in my design. I used the castle as a theme and fuse it with my natural dream: “to return home with my love”. The 24-hour hands of my design function like a couple; the hands move as if the couple are walking nearer to the castle, and finally returning home.

 

“Castle” is a design carrying this dream. Through this design, my pure and initial dream has come true.

 

Finalists

Title of Design: Fantasy
Contestant: Sowork Company

 

Fantasy
The merry-go-round is an amusement ride that no kids can resist. Rotating on the wooden horse, the riot of colour and the pleasure of revolving brought me to the world of fantastic fairy tales when I was a child.

A special merry-go-round graphic second disc rotates in the centre of the watch case; the star hour hand and the cross grain minute hand coordinate well with the coloured revolving texture in the watch case and crown.

 

Title of Design: Koi Jumps Over the Dragon Gate
Contestant: Silcon Innoproducts Limited

 

DREAM is the driving forcein a person that turns us “on” to pursue the excellence of ourselves. Dream paves the road to success only if we take action. The well-known Chinese idiom “Koi jumps over the Dragon Gate” marks, a person who has achieved a marvellous milestone and earned himself/herself a high reputation in society and success in class.

 

Everyone has various kinds of “dream” since childhood. A lot of dreams may have already come true, while some remain to be discovered.

 

The character “KOI” in this design refers to “myself”. “DRAGON GATE” symbolises my goals and milestones. The “OCEAN WAVES” at the bottom are challenges and hurdles I encounter while pursuing my goals. Step by step, I overcome the obstacles and jump over the gate. The design of “KOI”, “DRAGON GATE”, “SKY” and “OCEAN WAVES” on the surface creates a feeling of fantasy in three-dimensional modelling. Special design of bezel with spinning feature takes you through an adventure to bounce up with the fish to reach out to your dream.

 

Title of Design: ATOM
Contestant: Top Dynamic International Ltd.

 

One of my childhood dreams was to be a scientist. We all know that making a dream come true takes more than just wishing. Exploring new material is a scientist’s responsibility.

 

A perfect embodiment that combines aesthetic refinement with a resolutely technical touch, ”Atom” is distinguished the first and foremost by its unique form and material.

 

The bezel with “Color Superluminova” will stand out in an original way against the stealth black background. The mystery fluids flow through the dial with a bright colour to remind us that “Atom” is everywhere and also passing through time.

 

Title of Design: I-Ching
Contestant: Brielle Watch Co., Ltd

 

My dream is to carry forward the Chinese culture and to pass it on to the next generation. It is an endless process. "I Ching" is the root of Chinese traditional thought and culture, natural philosophy and management practice, and has been integrated into the lives of human culture.

 

The design uses black and white, which symbolises the poles in the integration of concept and soft with a body, reflects the integration of hardness and softness, and “yin” and “yang” interaction.

 

The design of Twelve intervals on the surface was based on the concept originating from the Book of Changes ‘12 hexagrams. Twelve individuals combine as one, resonating with the endless cycles of the corresponding five elements.

 

Title of Design: MAKE A WISH
Contestant: Hanville Co Ltd

 

Everyone has their own childhood dream. a simple dream that everyone can make. When I was a child, I wanted to reach for the stars. I would look for a starry night and wish upon the stars,a wish that would come true.

 

Together with its reflection, the stone that strikes across the top of the watch symbolizes a shooting star.

 

Title of Design: Zodiac
Contestant: Team 1 Design Limited

 

The vastness of the universe is incredible and mysterious. The mysteries of planets and constellations have fascinated me since my childhood.

 

I always dream to become an astronomer. Studying astronomy will help me understand the secret of constellations better, including the romantic legends from Greek mythology.

 

Title of Design: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Contestant: Po Fai Precision Limited

 

Childhood dreams are the deepest desire in our hearts. They are like little stars in the vast universe, which carry hope andgive you the strength and passion just like collision between stars.

 

Will any hardship stop you? When pressure and dilemma shatter the dream and hurt the things you gave your life to, could you control your heart and nerve, pursue the initial dream, and hold on to your stars even if everyone told you “they are gone”?

 

The bright diamonds are just like the stars which give us the power to challenge the plight of reality, let’s dance brilliantly under the sky.

 

Title of Design: FLAMENCO
Contestant: Tsang Wan Chi

(Sponsoring Company: Renley Watch Manufacturing Co. Ltd.)

 

I watched a TV program about flamenco dance performance when I was a teenager.Immediately I was addicted to its passionate and briskly rhythm. I dream of becoming a professional flamenco dancer one day, one that brings happiness and resonance to her spectators.

 

I’ve embedded many elements about the dance into my watch design, which bring out the vivid dancing moves, the gorgeous costume and the romantic mood of a flamenco dance.

 

Title of Design: Around the World in 80 Days
Contestant: Wong So Man

(Sponsoring Company: Renley Watch Manufacturing Co. Ltd.)

 

Travelling around the world in 80 days is my childhood dream. My watch was designed based on this dream. The earth is placed at the centre of the dial, with landmarks of international cities surrounding it. I’ve used the rotating decoration ring on the watch to represent the idea of travelling “around the world”. The watch case with flowing Swarovski stones is just like the stars shuttling in the sky around the world.

Title of Design: Start Your Engine
Contestant: Wong Ting Bong

(Sponsoring Company: Youngs Watch Company Limited)

 

Speed reminds me of my childhood dream. When I was small, I used to sit at the front seat beside my father in his car. He would turn on the engine and the trip would begin. While he speeded up the car, everything outside the car was frozen. Time stopped, and my breath slowed down. The only sound I could hear was the engine. That was the sound of speed, and I felt like a Formula 1 Racer.

Title of Design: A Little Girl
Contestant: Ng Chun Kit

(Sponsoring Company: P.S.L. LIMITED)

 

The name of the watch is “A Little Girl”. It was inspired by an old song “Que Sera Sera”, which talked about the dream of a little girl.

 

My design is clean and fresh just like a little girl. Once combined with different jewelry pieces, it would become a unique watch. Luxury, Girlish, Pinky, Sexy… Your style all depends on your preferences. Just like a little girl dreams of whom she will become.
