‘Who stipulates that Children’s Day cannot be passed on by adults? Mature adults are more suitable for ‘June 1st.”
   According to a survey by psychological institutions, 96.6% of white-collar workers between the ages of 20 and 40 stated that they have a lot of pressure to work and hope to find some ways to maintain a young mindset. Psychologists say: ‘Adults’ Day is a way to relieve stress.’ Everyone used to hide behind children and quietly release themselves by spending the day with Children. But now, more adults say, ‘Children’s Day, children have to pass, adults have to pass too.’ Adults in stressful society need to keep innocence.
   On this Children’s Day, Citizen will work with you to find the true heart of your childhood. You seem to have grown up, but you never went far in your childhood. Maybe you are an urban white-collar worker, maybe you are a fashion pioneer, or a freshman who is about to graduate, but no matter who you are, in We should all give ourselves a chance to be a ‘big child’ on this holiday. Because, the more mature the person, the more aware of relaxation, the more important it is to understand the importance of time.

Citizen publishes ‘Older Children’s Illustrated’
Walking towards the light, innocence is not over age
   Innocence is not over-aged, and in mature age, you can still maintain an inexhaustible curiosity and positive energy like a child. Just as Tian Tian, ​​the brand ambassador of the world-renowned watch brand Citizen Greater China, fades the light of the women’s sky group, the energy is not diminishing: cute scissors, selling cute head shots; they will smile when they receive a cute red envelope in the new year, and Socialize with fans like a girl on social networks; work overnight to prepare for a concert, and also use yoga and reading to please yourself in your spare time.
   This over-aged child who can turn each song into a ‘Tian’s Love Song’, tells us in actual action that the innocence of mature age is not nostalgia looking backwards, not talking about entertainment and selling, but a kind of more A testable, stable young mindset. Although life has accumulated trivial things, it is still like a child who cares for the warmth and beauty of the vast areas of life and walks towards the light.
The heart of the child, not forgetting the true
   Time brings growth, from naive to mature, from panic to calm, from cramped to calm. However, growth is not to replace some with others, but to teach us that seemingly conflicting things can coexist, such as stability and activity, such as maturity and innocence, such as the heart of a child who has remained in the years of growth.
   ‘Because of our faith, we are constantly pursuing technology and beauty, and we have always maintained a leading position in the industry. Citizen’s leadership is not only our watchmaking technology, but also the enthusiasm and belief we have poured into watches.’ The 40th anniversary of the birth of Citizen Eco-Drive Technology has always held the heart of a child, and has pursued purely and firmly the pursuit of more advanced technology, more sophisticated craftsmanship and more beautiful design. With more than 80 years of development and innovation, Citizen has created a lot of ‘world firsts’ and ‘world firsts’, but Citizen has not stopped moving forward because of this. In the future, there will still be a vast territory waiting for Citizen, an ‘overage child’ ‘Go open.
   On this Children’s Day, Citizen released the ‘Older Children’s Illustrated’, which awakens the innocence of over-aged children in a serious and funny way. While the older children mature and calmly measure their distance from their dreams, they remain innocent and passionate. At the same time, Citizen also initiated the topic of # 超 岁 儿童 dig 机 # on social networks, and netizens relayed the funny stories of the children around them. Citizen tells us that even if life is ordinary and boring, we must always keep innocence. Because of maturity, in the world of adults, time is changing and time is unchanged, but innocence is always ‘not over’. Because it is more mature, it is more childlike. Because of Better Starts Now, you are not over-aged.

Buildings are both space and time coordinates. Since ancient times, buildings have converged in space and time. The Mido watch transforms the space dimension of the building, falls on the wrist, explains the philosophical value of time, and proves eternity with inspiration. Swiss Mido World’s first professional watchmaker’s watch design competition was officially launched in March 2015. On July 30 this year, the three design works presented by the three professional watchmakers finally unveiled the mystery and spread the world, and the voting activity was also launched on the official website of Mido. The channel for public voting on September 30th officially ended, and the winning works will not only be put into mass production, but also officially appear at the Basel 2016. Ultimately, which piece will stand out is up to each watch enthusiast.
   Three professional watchmakers Eric Giroud, Sébastien Perret, and Lorenzo Vallone have devoted themselves to research and conception for nearly half a year. I presented the final work of this competition, paying the highest tribute to Mido and the classic architectural Big Ben.
Entries for Eric Giroud
   Eric Grioud, a well-known Swiss watch designer and architectural designer, as a music lover, contemporary art collector and architect, his multiple identities have made him integrate art and culture. This competition broke through the ideological barrier and brought an extreme Stunning work with architectural visual effects.

   Eric Giroud divided the game into three stages. In the first stage, I visited Big Ben in the field, devoted myself to the theme of the real scene, and experienced the magnificent building at a close range. In the second stage, by analyzing the visual elements graphically, you can understand the essence, inspiration and roots of Big Ben and its history, and draw elements and symbols applied to watch design from it. In the third stage, entering the design stage, with years of architectural experience, Eric Grioud cleverly uses light and shadow to choose the strongest visual characteristics to create the most shocking effect with the least lines. The case of the work is square and breaks the traditional style of Mido watches. Based on the bronze material used in the watch section of Big Ben, the horizontal and vertical lines echo the columns of the building’s facade. The rose window on the back of the case draws the center of the building. The gorgeous appearance of the rose window reinterprets the building in a different way.

Entries for Sébastien Perret
   The work of Sébastien Perret, the founder of the Etude de Style design agency and the master of jewellery inlay in Neuchatel, Switzerland, is a wonderful thing in the ingenious fusion of square and circle. He put the building in different dimensions, and deliberately explored the layer-by-layer design of the building, from the inside to the outside, to appreciate, from the complex and exquisite details of the building, to the elaboration of the geometric structure and decorative materials, using this as a starting point to explore different elements. , Seize the silhouette and outline of the building, penetrate into small details, and build and create the ‘Big Ben’ watch.

   Sébastien Perret does not superficially cleverly replicate geometric buildings, blending different architectural elements with each other. The watch balances the minimalistic appearance with rich details, which is in line with the beautiful design style. The cutout design on the side of the case is taken from the Gothic flower window on the top of the building. A round perspective window is set in the rectangular case on the back, and the square and the circle blend with each other. The dial scale numbers are uniquely presented in three dimensions, and the vertical pattern of the strap echoes the architectural texture, accurately interpreting the architectural style of Big Ben.

For the contest Lorenzo Vallone
   Italian designer Lorenzo Vallone, an art director and a university professor, also keenly captured Big Ben’s clever use of circles and squares, but with a unique design concept, he gave two forms of strong contrast to another form of presentation . In this design competition, he started with the visual characteristics of neo-Gothic architecture and analyzed all the details of Big Ben, including the structure of the building and the decoration of the interior and exterior of the building, to get inspiration. The most inspiring part is the interlacing between the circular clock face and the vertical straight square structure of the tower building. From this, draw a lot of drawings, try to combine the square and the circle organically, drop the invisible into the tangible, and finally design the cylinder The structure of the body, and its dimensions and details are made by making 3D solid models.

   Lorenzo Vallone incorporates a round dial into a square design, just like the rectangular bezel outside the Big Ben dial, with typical neo-Gothic decorative patterns and carved textures on the crown and bottom of the case, incorporating architectural elements into the design. The linear design of the strap is inspired by the vertical center column of Big Ben. The special structure also enhances the practicality of the watch. The height of the Big Ben is 96 meters, so the thickness of the watch is also set to 9.6 mm. The work seeks a balance between the majestic clock body that pierces the sky and the graceful arc face of the Big Ben, and fuses these two characteristics to create harmony in the opposition of straight lines and curves, which contains the original flavor The style of Big Ben seems to span time and space and pay tribute to history.

   The same classic building inspired different inspirations for the designer, which led to the creation of three outstanding works with different styles. At present, the voting activity has officially entered the countdown stage. In the end, which works can fall on the wrist, the right lies in the hands of everyone who loves watches. Mido kindly invites watch lovers to participate in the voting, and will log on Mido’s official website to select their ‘Big Ben’ watch before September 30.
