Chinese Movements

[Martin]

I like mechanical movements. A lot. I can stare at them for a long time, seeing the little wheels turn, balance wheels tumble and pallets ticking. I have to admit I bought several watches, just so I had one with that particular movement inside.
By now, I have quite a collection of different variations of movements from different Chinese brands, so I thought I'd share some pictures of them. Let me start with SeaGull. I am still looking for a WuYi with an ST2, and watches with ST7 and ST18 movements. The ST4 tuning fork is extremely rare, and the ST90 and ST91 repeater movements are somewhat out of budget...For the rest, here's a selection from the watches I own with SeaGull Movements.
