Gothic Origin Watch “Saint George & the Dragon”｜Sterling Silver Edition “Knight’s Virtue” (Silver-Green · Silver-Blue · Silver-Red)

A Mechanical Oath of Victory and Protection

In the 12th century, Richard the Lionheart of England carried Saint George the Dragon-Slayer’s banner into battle, achieving decisive triumphs. His red-cross pennant—the Dragon’s Blood Cross—became both Britain’s national flag and the crest of its armies. Today, Bard’s Whisper recreates that legend in a timepiece meant to guard your pivotal moments with courage and hope.

Project Background

Building on our successful 2020 “Madonna” crowdfunding launch (eight months to delivery, glowing market reception), we spent two further years refining “Saint George & the Dragon.” Upgrades include an open caseback, a movement enhancement, and greater sculptural detail—crafted to a world-class standard.

Case & Sculpture

• Full Hand-Filled Engraving: The 316L stainless-steel case features Gothic motifs—pointed-arch tracery on the lugs and carved floral-and-Hibiscus-wood panels on the sides—entirely hand-engraved and color-filled.

• “Warrior’s Flame” Finish: The brass sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon is micro-cast at 0.3 mm resolution, then plated in warm rose-gold PVD to evoke the heat of battle.

Sapphire-Lens Caseback

Our Sellita SW200 automatic movement is custom-finished with fish-scale polishing and electroplated patterns beneath a sapphire lens—offering a glimpse of the caliber while preserving a classical mystery.

3D-Engineered Miniature & Micro-Casting

1. 3D Sculpting: In partnership with Kaohsiung’s Thunder Art Studio, six months of iteration perfected the dragon’s wing spread without obstructing the hands.

2. Micro-Casting Process: Another six months of test castings refined our proprietary workflow to maintain every engraved detail under magnification.

Over 150 Craft Steps

• Sculpture: Reverse engineering, 3D modeling, moldmaking, casting, polishing, micro-engraving, gilding, and electroplating.

• Case: CNC machining, acid etching, laser engraving, surface brushing, sapphire plating, polishing, hand painting, and crystal cutting.

• Strap: Hand-carved leather molds, precision stitching, edge finishing, and quick-release bars.

Dial & Hands

• Dial: Inspired by mid-Byzantine Chhîm cathedral chandeliers, recolored in red-brown stained-glass tones by illustrator Chen Yuan-zhi to create a one-of-a-kind palette.

• Hands: Custom “Sword & Lance” diamond-cut hands, engineered to catch even the dimmest light for clear timekeeping.

Crown Detailing

A 7 mm rose-gold-PVD crown features ultra-fine hand-painted grooves (0.01 mm wide)—a micro-craft technique handed down from Taiwan’s early luxury watch artisans.

“Warrior’s Flame” Colorway

1. Case: Rose-gold-PVD hand-filled.

2. Sculpture: Rose-gold-PVD brass with artisan patination.

3. Dial: Deep red-brown stained-glass motif—evoking the fervor of combat.

Each rose-gold sculpture exhibits subtle individual variation, reflecting hours of artisan plating and polishing.

Movement & Servicing

• Movement: Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic—trusted by Chopard, IWC, TAG Heuer, Breitling, and more.

• Service: One-year global warranty (customer pays shipping). Routine cleaning and lubrication recommended every 3–5 years.

Innovative Strap

Developed over one year with Kaohsiung’s Chang’an 35 leather artisans, the quick-release “pressure-relief” strap balances the watch’s substantial presence. Black straps ship with each pledge; six additional colors are available for purchase. A stretch goal at 300 units unlocks a complimentary embossed Goth leather strap.
