Revolution and Celadon Haute Horlogerie proudly present the Celadon Cloisonné Enamel Imperial Four Nobles — born of shared reverence for traditional Chinese culture, the Celadon Cloisonné Enamel Imperial Four Nobles represents a remarkable union of horological artistry and cultural heritage. Created exclusively for Revolution in partnership with Benjamin Chee—founder of Celadon Haute Horlogerie, seasoned collector, and passionate advocate for Chinese watchmaking—this series is a celebration of craftsmanship and identity. The inspiration behind the collection is both poetic and profound: the harmony of the Four Seasons expressed through the classical Chinese tradition of bird-and-flower painting. This is artfully paired with the philosophical concept of the Four Gentlemen, or Four Noble Ones—each represented by a plant symbolizing timeless virtues: plum blossom (resilience), orchid (grace), bamboo (integrity), and chrysanthemum (perseverance). Each of the four timepieces pays tribute to a season through the lens of the Four Gentlemen in classical Chinese culture: Spring — Orioles Amidst the Orchids Summer — Bamboo with Birds of Paradise Autumn — Chrysanthemum and Cranes Winter — Ermine Peacock with Plum Blossoms These dials are brought to life by Grandmaster Xiong Songtao using ultra-fine gold wire and cloisonné enamel techniques dating back over 800 years. His method differs from European cloisonné: he works with exceptionally fine gold wire — as thin as 0.04 to 0.07mm —demanding greater skill and allowing far more intricate imagery. For this project, he even devised a new, more complex technique that surpasses the cloisonné of imperial times. This painstaking wire-laying stage alone takes an experienced artisan over 50 hours. At any point in the multi-stage firing process, the dial can crack, warp or discolor; fewer than one in 10 survive to perfection. Yet each success is timeless: cloisonné enamel never fades, and because every wire is hand placed and every firing unique, no two dials are identical — even when they share the same design. In that sense, every finished piece is a true one-of-a-kind. Housed in elegant 38mmx 10.1mm Imperial’s curvaceous teardrop-lug case made in 316L staineless steel, is undeniably elegant. It’s also robust, reliable and makes it an excellent option for everyday wear. Powering each timepiece is the Celadon-Grade Caliber ST18, a reliable and slim automatic movement measuring just 3.6mm in thickness. It features a custom rotor engraved with the Celadon CL seal, visible through the transparent caseback. The movement is decorated with perlage and Côtes de Genève striping, regulated in-house to an accuracy of within ±10 seconds per day and offers a power reserve of 42 hours. It beats at 28,800vph (4Hz) and comes with a five-year warranty, underscoring its dependability. Each watch is paired with artisan-made straps by RSM Watch Straps — each pairing was an intimate, hands-on journey that involved the testing of countless combinations of colors and textures. The final selections were made with the goal of elevating the enamel dials while letting them remain the centerpiece of each watch. The Celadon Cloisonné Enamel Imperial Four Nobles is offered exclusively on a subscription basis, made to order with a one-month ordering window from the official launch date. To reward early supporters, the first 25 pieces of each model will be individually numbered — a gesture of appreciation to collectors who placed their trust in us from the outset. However, the first five pieces of each model will only be available as part of a complete box set featuring all four watches — Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn — celebrating the harmony and cultural richness of the Four Noble Ones in their entirety. The rest may be purchased individually.
