K’un, or said P’eng is vigorous and high-spirited that has a grand ambition[1]. Either is not limited in forms. When it lurks in the sea, it becomes a huge fish. If we scale it down, it will become a goldfish in a fish tank. From outside to inside, hour markers have been added and the fish tank has been reduced to be a timepiece – the face of a watch. The bezel is gold, which symbolizes a ticket for making value trading.

1. Zhuangzi, “Free And Easy Wandering”, Chapter 1

鯤鵬之意氣風發，其志不知幾千里也，且不拘於定形，沉潛在淵，則為魚，收束到觀賞水箱就是金魚。金魚從崑崙外收攝入日常時間，又進一步下降到線性規制時間 — 一個手錶的面。錶面是金的，是進入價格交換秩序時，充裝的准入標誌。
