Story OF SEA-GULL WATCH

Since 1955, the rhythmic ticking of Sea-Gull’s first mechanical watch marked not just the birth of a brand, but the dawn of a legacy. What began as a bold experiment in precision engineering has evolved into seven decades of relentless innovation, where tradition and avant-garde craftsmanship unite under one name.

 

Sea-Gull’s journey is written in gears and springs. From pioneering the first domestically developed tourbillon to perfecting the iconic ST19 chronograph movement, every mechanism carries the brand’s DNA: independent innovation, uncompromising quality, and a defiance of horological conventions. Unlike brands bound by heritage alone, Sea-Gull thrives by rewriting rules—proving that true luxury lies not in prestige, but in accessible perfection.

The workshop is where poetry meets precision. Master watchmakers blend 70 years of technical mastery with contemporary design, creating timepieces that resonate across generations. The 1963 Chronograph, with its aviation roots, embodies utilitarian elegance, while the Solar Wing 3D Tourbillon showcases cutting-edge micromechanics. Each watch is a manifesto: horological excellence need not be exclusive.

Today, Sea-Gull stands at the intersection of craft and culture. It’s a brand embraced by collectors who value substance over status, by engineers who recognize the artistry in complication, and by a new generation seeking mechanical authenticity in an age of disposability.
