The Tide Clock Movement, a limited release of 10 copies, is proof of that. Karl-friedrich Scheufele, co-president of Hengrong watches, explains: "It is rare to see a clock with an automatic movement, and even fewer with the complex functions of watchmaking. Our Tide Clock Movement is one of the few clocks in the field to have both the Swiss Observatory's accurate timing certification and the prestigious Geneva stamp."
Tide Clock Movement of Hengrong Watches is completely independently produced by Hengrong Watchmaking Workshop and debuted in 2019 with THE L.U.C. Flying T Twin clock.
