Sichuan Panda Automatic Chronograph

TIMETHIS · Sichuan Panda Automatic Chronograph

Introduction | A Tribute to Time from the Hometown of Pandas

The giant panda, a species endemic to China, has existed on Earth for over 8 million years. Revered as a “living fossil” and China’s national treasure, it also serves as the global ambassador of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
Its primary habitat lies in Sichuan Province, where TIMETHIS — an independent Chinese watchmaking brand — was born in the provincial capital of Chengdu.

Rooted in a land where nature and culture coexist in harmony, TIMETHIS expresses the spirit of the East through original design. The Panda Chronograph is not merely a watch, but a tribute to nature’s guardians and an interpretation of the Eastern philosophy of time — gentle, fluid, and harmonious.

Design Language | Mechanical Interpretation of Oriental Aesthetics

This is not simply a panda “drawn” on a dial — it is a creative translation of cultural symbolism into horological language.

The dial features a 3D sculptural composition inspired by the panda’s face:

• The two black "eyes" are rendered as 12-hour and 30-minute chronograph counters;
• The small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock mimics a panda's playful pink tongue, adding a sense of motion and charm;
• A vibrant green central chronograph seconds hand symbolizes bamboo — the panda’s favorite food and a key element of its ecosystem;
• The dial is constructed using a multi-layered sandwich architecture, creating depth and dynamic reflections under shifting light.

The case adopts the TASTI TONDI-style waterproof design — rounded and smooth, evoking the gentle strength of the panda itself. On the wrist, it feels as if a little panda is quietly keeping time with you.

Cultural Essence | Speaking to Nature and the World through the Panda

At TIMETHIS, time is not just a mechanical measurement — it’s a rhythm shaped by culture.

The creation of the Panda Chronograph stems not only from aesthetics and playfulness, but from a deeper intention: to share the Chinese perspective on time and nature with the world through a universally beloved symbol — the panda.

• It reflects calmness hidden within a slow pace;
• Precision hidden behind a playful appearance;
• Sustainability woven into the language of horology.

For TIMETHIS, the Panda Chronograph is a cultural love letter — written from Chengdu, addressed to the world.

Brand Philosophy | Creating Rhythm Within Eastern Time

TIMETHIS was founded in Chengdu. The brand name draws inspiration from the fleeting bloom of the epiphyllum flower — "timethis" echoes both impermanence and poetic precision.

We believe that time, in the Eastern context, values slowness, stillness, softness, and precision. Our watches are shaped not just by function, but by detail, emotion, and storytelling.

Our mission is to ensure that "Created in Chengdu" stands not only for manufacturing capability, but also for cultural sophistication and aesthetic innovation. Through long-term investment in mechanical aesthetics, cultural integration, original design, and precision manufacturing, TIMETHIS aims to bridge tradition and modernity — between local identity and global dialogue.

Closing Statement | A Panda with a Mission on the Wrist

The Panda Chronograph is not just a whimsical watch. It is a tribute to nature, a tribute to culture, and a reinvention of mechanical storytelling. It is a panda that walks quietly on your wrist — and a bold step from TIMETHIS toward the world.

"What truly touches the world from the East must be gentle, full of stories, and worth slowing down for."
