About Handcraft and Shipping Sequence
The Goth Genesis Watch Dante's Divine Comedy series is entirely handmade by professional artists. Therefore, the shipping schedule is based on the order in which the artists complete their work. The completed pieces are assembled and shipped in that order.

Artist's Words
Color direction: Apple Daily first edition illustrator, Chen Yuan-Zhi
"It's amazing! The painted piece exceeded expectations."

The overall design was led by model/animation artist, glass artisan, and Taiwan model community pioneer forum "GKANDMAKE" founder, Jia Long-Qi. On the challenges of this project, he states:
"The most difficult part of Dante's Divine Comedy: Inferno Lamentation Edition design was the ultra-thin dial's layout. The most challenging aspect was creating the radial arrangement of skulls and the geometric pattern of the base. Besides the original 2-3mm limited space for perspective corrections, we had to consider the overall depth and layering. The final design involved creating a 0.3mm ultra-thin casting within an extremely limited space, which produced a multi-layered visual effect."
"This work has received praise and recognition from collectors both domestically and internationally, and I believe it will become a signature piece for the brand."

One of the brass painting artisans for this project is Taiwan's prototype painter, Zhao Jia-Mi.
"Several pieces in this series utilize the unique properties of pigments and deliberately layer in glow effects. Due to the interference between the pigments' color release and transparency during painting, we needed to experiment with various color combinations. Each piece will be uniquely crafted, and the artist will sign the back of the dial once completed. Additionally, the digital certificate for this event will help enhance the piece's artistic value and collectibility."
"We hope every detail in our work will amaze collectors."

The other brass painting artisan is Taiwan's prototype painting studio, Green Leaf Creation Workshop, led by Green Leaf.
"Some watch models feature both glow and fluorescence effects. With the normal light source, we designed three different color combinations. The challenge was coordinating how the theme is expressed under various lighting environments while maintaining aesthetic balance in the colors. This required repeated testing and adjustments under different lighting to achieve a satisfactory outcome."
"We hope our work will accompany collectors at different stages of their life."

Product Philosophy
Dante's Divine Comedy, a work created 700 years ago, influenced the Renaissance and countless works that followed.
Cultural historian Jean-Pierre Barricelli (1912-1993) stated in his 1996 Dante Studies that:
"Artists of various media have responded richly to the Divine Comedy, and this passion even surpasses that of the Bible itself."

In the novel, Dante imagines himself entering a dark forest, where he meets the Roman poet Virgil, who accompanies him through Hell and Purgatory. During this journey, Dante falls in love with the 24-year-old Beatrice, who died young. Beatrice then leads Dante into Heaven, bringing him salvation.

The creative process for this piece has taken two years. While the final product is what most people see, every line and direction of the sculpture is the result of the team's meticulous discussion and effort. 3D modeling and micro-casting techniques were employed to create a highly detailed piece in a miniature world. The technique, designed by Taiwan's veteran model maker Jia Long-Qi, allows the ultra-thin metal dial to appear quite thick, even though it is crafted with numerous sophisticated techniques.

Important Notes on Artisan Craftsmanship
About painting and color:
Since this work is purely handmade, the colors in the photographs may appear slightly different due to environmental lighting, flash, or natural sunlight, as well as differences in display screens. The pigment colors are hand-mixed, and each piece will have subtle individual variations. The final color will be confirmed by the artist, assembler, and brand manager. Therefore, the actual shipped color will be used as the reference.

About micro-casting:
Micro-casting is a highly precise technique that utilizes the flow of metal to create intricate sculpting effects. During the process, slight distortions can occur. Since all items are handmade, each piece will have slight variations, such as differences in the angles of petals, insect horns, or the tips of branches. Please understand and accept these small differences.
