Regarding Artist Handmade Work and Shipping Sequence
The Gothic Origin Watch "Divine Comedy" series is handcrafted by professional artists. Therefore, the shipping time is based on the artist’s work order, with the completed pieces being assembled and shipped in the order they are finished.
Artist's Statement
Color Design: First edition illustrator of Apple Daily, Mr. Chen Yuan-Zhi
"It’s amazing! The painted product exceeded my expectations."
The lead designer: Mr. Jia Long-Qi, a sculptor, animation artist, glass craftsperson, and founder of Taiwan's "GKANDMAKE" model forum. Mr. Jia discusses the creation process:
"The biggest challenge in the design of the 'Divine Comedy. Inferno Edition' was the layout of the dial. The actual dial carving had to be done in a very limited space, creating 4-5 groups of different height distributions to give a sense of depth within the 2-3mm thick dial. We used perspective techniques to adjust the line spacing and aesthetic balance for the best visual effect, also applying the golden ratio principle. The level of detail was pushed to the limit of 0.3mm, creating an extraordinary atmosphere. This is a rare high-end artwork both locally and internationally, and I believe it will attract many international enthusiasts in the future."
"This is a rare and valuable piece that deserves to be collected."
The brass version of the painting was undertaken by Taiwan's prototype painting expert, Mr. Zhao Jia-Mi:
"There are several pieces in this series that intentionally layer fluorescent effects using the properties of the pigments. The color output and transparency interfere with each other during the painting process, so finding the right coordinating color scheme requires careful experience and judgment. Each set of paintwork is unique, and the back of the dial will be signed after the work is completed. Additionally, a digital certificate will be provided as part of the event's theme to enhance the artwork's authenticity and collectible value."
"We hope that every detail in our work can amaze the collector."
Product Philosophy
Dante's Divine Comedy, a work from 700 years ago, has influenced countless creations from the Renaissance to the present.
Cultural historian Jean-Pierre Barricelli (1912-1993) stated in his 1996 work Dante Studies:
"Artists of various media have richly responded to the Divine Comedy, and the passion it evokes even surpasses that of the Bible."
In the novel, Dante imagines himself entering a dark forest, where he meets the Roman poet Virgil, who guides him through Hell and Purgatory. At this time, Dante's beloved Beatrice, who died at the age of 24, appears and leads him to Paradise, granting him redemption.
The "Minstrels' Whisper" project in 2022 revisited medieval history, culture, and literature to finalize the design. More than 20 Taiwanese artists and artisans participated in this project, including scholars, artists, illustrators, sculptors, engineers, metalworkers, watchmakers, 3D modelers, animators, and blockchain experts, all contributing to the deep cultural and artistic foundation that brought this work to life.
The creation process took 7 months, and while the final product may seem like a finished result, every line and design choice was a product of the team’s rigorous discussion and effort. We utilized 3D modeling technology and micro-casting techniques to bring this highly dimensional piece into the real world. Special thanks go to Taiwan’s pioneering model designer, Mr. Jia Long-Qi, whose design of the four-layer micro-segmentation technique allowed the dial's metal to appear thick despite being only 3mm thin, showcasing a wealth of technical expertise.
