歐洲時尚創作者 Mr.M 專文介紹《Dante’s Purgatorio Opal》但丁神曲手工錶

On September 25, 2026, the menswear and lifestyle blog Mr.M by Marko Tadić published an in-depth feature pairing our Dante’s Purgatorio Opal watch with a pale pink and white summer outfit, deliberately styled so the dial takes centre stage.

The piece covers the brand's story, its island-wide network of Taiwanese artisans, the Divine Comedy concept, the dial materials, case details and movement, and our entry into this year's Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG).

2026 年 9 月 25 日，男裝與生活風格部落格 Mr.M by Marko Tadić 發表長篇專文，以一套淡粉與白色的夏季穿搭，搭配本品牌《Dante’s Purgatorio Opal》但丁神曲・煉獄篇腕錶。作者刻意讓服裝退居背景，把視線全數留給錶盤。

文章從品牌故事、台灣在地工藝網絡、但丁神曲的創作背景，一路談到錶盤材質、錶殼細節與機芯規格，並提及品牌今年參與日內瓦鐘錶大賞（GPHG）的消息。

The article retraces founder Zhang Sen-jie's path: a drama graduate who spent thirteen years as a tour guide, turning history into stories for his travellers. After his daughter was born he left long-haul touring, began with jewellery, and moved into watchmaking about seven years ago. The name "Bard's Whisper" reflects the idea of gathering stories from around the world and bringing them home as crafted objects.

The author highlights how the brand built its own artisan network across Taiwan, which has no Swiss-style watch valley: leather straps hand-made in Kaohsiung, hand painting in Neihu, Yingge and Taipei, casting and cases from partners in Tainan, and micro-casting developed from Taiwan's 3D-printing expertise.

報導介紹了創辦人張森傑的轉折：戲劇系出身，曾帶團十三年，把歷史改編成故事講給旅客聽；女兒出生後，他決定放下長途帶團，先從飾品起步，約七年前正式投入製錶。品牌名稱「吟遊詩人的呢喃」，正是把世界各地的故事帶回來、化為工藝作品的概念。

作者特別欣賞品牌在台灣沒有像瑞士那樣的鐘錶產業聚落的條件下，親自串連全國專業職人：高雄皮革師傅手工製作錶帶、內湖、鶯歌與台北的彩繪師上色、台南夥伴負責鑄造與錶殼，並運用台灣 3D 列印優勢發展微型鑄造。

At the centre of the dial sits a Gothic rose window: S925 sterling-silver tracery cast in miniature, each cell set by hand with genuine precious opal, ringed by a wreath of copper-foil gilded roses. Art director Jia Long-xi led the design and sculpting, using a four-layer micro-section technique that carves four relief levels into a dial only 2–3 mm thick, with details as fine as 0.3 mm.

The author notes how the opal's play-of-colour shifts from deep green and blue in shade to red and orange flashes in sunlight, while silver, opal and gold together balance cool, warm and bright tones.

錶盤中央是一扇哥德式玫瑰窗，窗花以 S925 純銀微型鑄造，每一格鑲嵌天然貴蛋白石，由彩繪師【趙嘉宓・Zhao Jia-mi】手工鑲製，外圈以銅箔金工打造玫瑰花環。色彩方向由插畫家【陳願至・Chen Yuan-zhi】指導，藝術總監賈龍樨負責設計與雕塑，以「四層微剖面」技術在約 2–3 mm 厚的錶盤中雕出四層浮雕，最細處僅 0.3 mm。

作者形容蛋白石會隨光線變色：陰影下偏深綠與藍，陽光下迸出紅橙火彩；銀、蛋白石與金三種色調形成冷、暖、亮的平衡。

The feature also covers the 26th GPHG, which drew 320 watches from 194 brands, with 84 nominated by the Academy and winners to be announced in Geneva on November 7, 2026. Our Burning Godzilla 30th Anniversary collector's piece, developed with PeariA under official Toho licence, was recommended by Academy member Benjamin Hui, and The Three Gorgons "Song of Awe" is already listed on the GPHG website.

For the author, the trophy matters less than the fact that a small team working across Kaohsiung, Tainan and Taipei now shares an entry list with historic Swiss houses.

報導也提到，本屆（第 26 屆）GPHG 共有 194 個品牌、320 枚作品參與，學院從中提名 84 枚，得獎名單將於 2026 年 11 月 7 日在日內瓦揭曉。品牌的《紅蓮哥吉拉 30 周年紀念》收藏錶（與 PeariA 合作、東寶官方授權）由學院成員 Benjamin Hui 推薦參與，已列於 GPHG 官網。

作者認為重點不在獎座，而是一支橫跨高雄、台南與台北的小團隊，已經和瑞士百年名廠出現在同一份名單上。

Mr.M builds a quiet, light base — a pale pink Brioni cotton-silk polo, white Brioni cotton trousers, a white FPM Milano leather backpack and white Lanvin Bumper sneakers — so the watch is the only hero. His advice: keep one focal point, use tonal colours around the wrist, let accessories echo each other (the black strap answering the backpack's black details), pair a 45 mm case with relaxed cuts, and leave the wrist visible.

His closing line sums it up: with Dante’s Purgatorio Opal on his wrist, "time has never looked this good."

Mr.M 以 Brioni 淡粉棉絲 Polo 衫與白色棉褲、FPM Milano 白色皮革後背包、Lanvin Bumper 白色球鞋，打造低調的淺色基底，讓錶成為唯一焦點。他的建議：只留一個主角、用同色系安定手腕周圍、讓配件彼此呼應（例如黑色錶帶對應背包的黑色細節）、45 mm 錶徑搭配寬鬆剪裁，並讓手腕露出來。

文末一句總結了整篇報導——戴著蛋白石光芒的《Dante’s Purgatorio Opal》但丁神曲・煉獄篇，"time has never looked this good."
