A watch that has weathered the storms of Jianghu

 　A city is often said to lack history and stories. Yet once you have experienced every corner of a city and heard countless curious tales, we suddenly realise that the stories most worth telling are actually hidden all around us, tucked away in every unassuming street...

　　After decades of development, Hong Kong cinema has become one of the production hubs of the Chinese-speaking world and a true pioneer of Chinese-language film, widely and affectionately known as the “Oriental Hollywood”. This rapid growth has left a rich legacy for the film industry, filled with countless tales of Jianghu.

　　In Hong Kong, almost everyone in the workplace wears a watch and has a very sharp sense of time. Watches also frequently make an appearance in Hong Kong films. Rolex, in particular, held a dominant position among Hong Kong movie props, especially the characters wearing Rolexes in Young and Dangerous films, which left a lasting impression—so much so that to this day, many people still view a heavy gold Rolex as a symbol of flashy wealth.

　　The reason Rolex frequently appeared in Hong Kong cinema is that Rolex was the first watchmaker to run written advertisements, and the frequent appearances of Rolexes in films were essentially ploys for showing off and boasting. As Anthony Wong once put it: “Always wearing a Rolex and driving a Mercedes, making it look all glamorous—what the hell is actually glamorous about me?”

　　Of course, aside from Rolex, an increasing number of watch brands such as Omega, Breitling, and IWC have intertwined with cinematic art, leaving a profound impression. In this world, how many people and things change colour as time flows onward. In every corner, there is its own Jianghu and its own set of rules. When we put aside our prejudices and cast away our busy lives, the most enjoyable thing is to wear aReplica watchwatch, feeling its simplicity and true essence.
