Where Hand Guilloché Captures the Spirit of the Steed

The new Peacock Plumage Gaze Hand-Made Guilloché Watch – Year of the Horse Special Edition reinterprets an icon of strength, success, and forward momentum. Part of the renewed Plumage Gaze collection, this three-hand timepiece draws inspiration from the legendary Tang Dynasty Sanhua Horse, translating its vitality into a contemporary horological language.
The dial is meticulously engraved by hand, freezing the moment of a galloping steed in rhythmic guilloché patterns. Crafted in integrated 904L aerospace-grade steel, the case and bracelet combine brushed, polished, and matte finishes to sculpt refined light across bold lines.

What is Guilloché?

Guilloché, an ancient decorative art form that traces its origins back thousands of years, involves the meticulous engraving of intricate, repetitive patterns onto a base material using mechanical turning. This exquisite technique captures the interplay of light and shadow, creating a dynamic, shimmering effect that comes alive with the natural movements of its wearer. Initially reserved for fine jewelry, Guilloché eventually found its way onto watch dials and has become a hallmark of high-end watchmaking.

The creation of a Guilloché dial is a true testament to artistry and precision. On a delicate 30.4mm disc, artisans execute over 3,000 flawlessly aligned cuts, each with uniform depth and direction, achieving precision within 0.1mm. Even the smallest error or momentary lapse in concentration necessitates starting anew, underscoring the immense skill and patience required for this craft. This is why Guilloché graces only the most exceptional timepieces.

Master Wei: The Master Behind the Guilloché

With a background in applied physics, Master Wei Sheng possesses a rare sensitivity to precision mechanics and the micro-scale world. His encounter with hand-made guilloché over twenty years ago sparked a lifelong pursuit—to build a universe of engraving richer, deeper, and more expressive.

By uniting scientific rigor with artistic intuition, Wei Sheng developed his own hand-operated engraving engine after years of experimentation. Every line is mathematically calculated; every cut carries aesthetic intent. On Peacock dials, guilloché becomes more than ornament—it is a philosophy of time, space, and order.

His uncompromising standards and relentless focus embody Peacock’s spirit of “Devotion to One Realm.” Recognized as a Peacock Hand-Made Guilloché Master, Wei Sheng represents a milestone where tradition and innovation converge.

A Limit-Pushing Feat of Hand Engraving: Five Guilloché Challenges, One Extraordinary Dial

This dial represents one of Peacock’s most demanding hand-guilloché achievements. It is composed of 16 independent guilloché zones, each engraved with a distinct texture. Artisans must execute four directional patterns, including diagonal cuts at 12°, 32°, 40°, and 66°, while alternating between 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm cutting tools.

Across the 28.8 mm dial, approximately 250 engraved lines intersect at 527 precisely calculated “knife-avoidance” junctions, where lines must meet without crossing. More than 2,000 individual hand-driven cuts are required, resulting in a dial where no two sections are ever identical—each one a singular expression of patience, control, and mastery.

Guilloché at the Edge of Possibility: 527 Intersections, Zero Margin for Error

The true challenge lies not in engraving lines, but in orchestrating their intersections. Each of the 500+ junctions demands absolute precision—any deviation greater than 0.1 mm results in visual imbalance and total rejection.

The watchmaker must switch seamlessly between line widths and engraving angles while maintaining perfect symmetry across all 16 zones.

Directional transitions are complex, yet the textures must flow naturally, preserving tension and rhythm across the dial. This process tests not only technical skill, but mental endurance: sustained focus under extreme density. It is a discipline where structure and aesthetics converge, pushing traditional hand guilloché to its modern limits.

The Human Hand Behind the Machine: 2,000 Cuts of Absolute Concentration

Working within a surface smaller than a coin, the engraver performs nearly 2,000 controlled cuts, adjusting pressure and depth with each movement. Over hours of uninterrupted focus, every cut is guided by direction, angle, and line thickness, while carefully navigating 527 intersections.
One lapse—one uneven depth, one misplaced line—and the entire dial is lost.

What emerges is not repetition, but individuality: a living surface shaped by human discipline. This dial embodies Peacock’s belief that true luxury is born not from automation, but from time, restraint, and unwavering dedication to craft.

The Year of the Horse — A Symbol Engraved in Steel

The caseback features a three-dimensional relief inspired by the Han Dynasty “Dragon Horse” (Longma) motif, originally found on ceremonial horse ornaments. With a dragon’s head, a powerful equine body, and a forward-striding stance, the Dragon Horse evokes the ancient legend recorded in the I Ching: the mythical steed emerging from the river, bearing sacred patterns that inspired the creation of the Eight Trigrams.Flipping the watch reveals this hidden emblem—an intimate exchange between wearer and history. It mirrors the Tang horse on the dial above, uniting two golden eras of Chinese civilization in a single mechanical object. A symbol of auspice, wisdom, and momentum—carried quietly on the wrist.

WHAT IS AN INTEGRATED STEEL WATCH?

An integrated steel watch unites case and bracelet into a single architectural formno visual breaks, no compromises. Celebrated in haute horlogerie for its complexity and prestige, this design demands absolute precision. Peacock elevates the genre through extensive hand-finishing, sharp geometry, and refined ergonomics, delivering a sculptural steel watch where comfort, strength, and artistry coexist in perfect balance.

    Sculpted Case Architecture in 904L Steel

    Inspired by the flowing contour of a peacock feather, the case is engineered through modern geometric cutting into 56 precisely aligned facets, each calculated for visual rhythm and structural integrity. Crafted entirely from 904L aerospace-grade steel—a material rarely used outside top-tier Swiss watchmaking—the case demands exceptional skill. Compared to standard 316L steel, 904L is 10% more difficult to machine and 22% harder, significantly increasing tool wear and finishing complexity. Every facet undergoes multiple hand-finishing stages: brushing introduces refined texture, while mirror polishing sculpts light into controlled, architectural reflections. The higher purity of 904L allows deeper polishing and a brighter, more enduring luster. This is not decorative excess, but disciplined craftsmanship—where difficulty is deliberately embraced to achieve lasting brilliance and tactile perfection.

    The Signature “Peacock Eye”

    ScrewsRunning through the case are six signature “Peacock Eye” screws, their form derived from the feather’s central spine. Far more than ornamental details, these screws serve a critical structural role, securing the case while reinforcing its visual identity. Each screw is individually finished to harmonize with the surrounding facets, demanding absolute precision to ensure alignment without disrupting the geometry of the case. In high-hardness 904L steel, achieving this balance between function and aesthetics requires meticulous tolerances and patient hand adjustment. The result is a subtle yet unmistakable design signature—cool metal infused with organic poetry. These screws embody Peacock’s philosophy: every visible element must justify its presence through both purpose and beauty, revealing the watchmaker’s discipline and respect for detail at every angle.

  • 504 Facets of Precision Engineering

    The integrated bracelet consists of 24 independent links, collectively forming 504 meticulously finished facets. Each link is sculpted with 21 geometric cuts, while junction points feature four specially polished chamfers. CNC milling defines the structure; hand polishing perfects every transition, softening light without dulling form. Full-removable screws are embedded into each link’s side, allowing individual disassembly. This engineering choice enhances serviceability while preserving a disciplined visual order—every separable joint reflecting Peacock’s belief that precision and freedom can coexist.

  • Seamless Steel, Finished Beyond Sight

    Case and bracelet are forged as a single, uninterrupted steel architecture—visually unified, structurally coherent, and exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. The seamless transition creates the impression of a flowing metal sculpture, eliminating the fragmentation common in traditional watch construction. Even on the hidden inner surfaces where case and bracelet meet, Peacock applies hand-scraped finishing—a labor-intensive technique rarely seen in unseen areas. This devotion to invisible details reflects a singular philosophy: true craftsmanship reveals itself most clearly where no one is expected to look.
