About us
SHANGHAI Watch, established in 1955, has been China’s first domestically developed watch brand—a milestone that signaled the nation’s entry into independent mechanical watch manufacturing. For nearly seven decades, we have remained committed to horological craftsmanship, dedicated to the integration of time-honored watchmaking techniques with understated cultural heritage, and we craft timepieces that embody our profound legacy and uncompromising precision.
"SINCE 1955”
Shanghai Watches was founded on a singular ambition: to master the art of the mechanical heartbeat. Ever since our birth from the fusion of ingenuity and mechanical mastery in 1955, we have been relentlessly focused on the ever-evolving horizon of modern design. We didn't just build a factory; we ignited a culture of precision and ingenuity that continues to challenge the boundaries of contemporary horology.
Today, we have moved beyond traditional manufacturing to become a global design-forward studio. Our philosophy merges the rhythmic, architectural energy of a world-class metropolis with the sophisticated pulse of in-house mechanical movements. We believe that a timepiece should be a dialogue between heritage and the avant-garde—a fusion of oriental aesthetic soul and modern minimalist silhouettes.
A New Global Standard
In an era of mass-produced quartz, Shanghai Watches chose the path of constant reinvention. We lead with a commitment to high-end mechanical watchmaking, specializing in complex movements and signature tourbillons that rival the world’s finest. By integrating cutting-edge materials with visionary engineering, we create timepieces that are not just instruments of time, but collectible statements of contemporary art.
We craft for the global individual—the dreamer, the creator, and the pioneer who values a story told through impeccable style. As we advance alongside the world’s most prestigious watchmakers, our focus remains on the "next." We are not just preserving history; we are designing the future.
"IT'S SHANGHAI TIME"
Since joining the Fosun Watch Group in 2019, the brand has been nurtured by urban culture and has embarked on a new path. Now exclusively authorized for cross-border sales by Guangzhou Wintime E-commerce Co., Ltd., "Its SHANGHAI Time" remains the brand's latest interpretation of contemporary life and beauty—narrating, hearing, and embracing each precious moment.
