On June 23, the "Refining Gold, Selecting Essence – Shenzhen Shuibei Gold & Jewelry Art Exhibition" grandly opened at China Arts and Crafts Museum (China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum).

Based on the cultural landmark along Beijing's central axis and connecting with the industrial foundation of Shenzhen Shuibei, the "Capital of Chinese Jewelry," the exhibition takes "National Jewelry" as its core narrative. Through four thematic chapters—"Ceremony Embodied in Objects," "Elegance Nurtured in Treasures," "Brilliance Illuminating Thousands of Households," and "Digital Intelligence Revitalizing Gems"—it systematically sorts out the evolutionary path of Chinese jewelry from a carrier of ritual order to a universal adornment, and from traditional craftsmanship to an intelligent future. Using molten gold as a medium and selecting the finest works to pass on the heritage, the exhibition builds a bridge for cultural exchange between northern and southern China, and showcases Shenzhen's jewelry industry's cutting-edge achievements in intangible cultural heritage activation, craftsmanship upgrading, and technological innovation integration.

Guided by Publicity Department of Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and China Arts and Crafts Museum (China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum), and hosted by Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports and Shenzhen Luohu District People's Government, the exhibition is co-organized by Shenzhen Museum, Shenzhen Luohu District Bureau of Commerce, and Shenzhen Luohu District Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports. As a co-organizer, HIPINE attended the event, inviting guests from all walks of life to appreciate the new vitality of traditional intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship in contemporary creations.

As a leading benchmark brand in China's precious metal wearable industry, HIPINE presented two innovative masterpieces at the exhibition: the high-end collectible watch series "Twelve Two-Hour Periods of Intangible Heritage" and precious metal smart jewelry. Integrating traditional intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship, oriental time philosophy, and cutting-edge intelligent technology, the brand achieved a cross-time and space dialogue between ancient and modern civilizations.

With the twelve two-hour periods as the warp and the Five Elements theory as the order; with intangible cultural heritage decorations as the weft and all things in nature as the form—on the tiny dial, a "wearable oriental time philosophy" is woven.

HIPINE's "Twelve Two-Hour Periods of Intangible Heritage" high-end collectible series is a collaborative creation with multiple national-level intangible cultural heritage masters, making HIPINE the first brand in the industry to systematically transform the complete oriental cultural system of the twelve two-hour periods into watch products.

Through the in-depth empowerment of cultural IP on product research and development, craftsmanship expression, and value transmission, the brand has condensed the concept of time and space, view of nature, and craftsmanship spirit of Chinese civilization into the small space on the wrist, allowing every wearer to touch the pulse of thousands of years of culture in the flowing time.

Rooted in traditional Chinese philosophy, the twelve two-hour periods (shíchen) comprehensively record the sequence of heaven and earth, the rhythm of farming, and the pulse of human life, representing the unique time romance of the Chinese people.

To systematically restore the complete connotation of oriental time aesthetics, HIPINE's design team conducted in-depth research in Beijing, Hebei, Qingdao, Suzhou and other places, visiting many inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. Drawing inspiration from multiple national-level intangible cultural heritage crafts such as chisel carving, lacquerware, cloisonné, kesi weaving, Suzhou embroidery, gold carving, gold inlay, and shell inlay, they repeatedly refined the way to integrate these techniques into the limited space of a watch dial.

Following the principle of mutual generation of the Five Elements, the design incorporates natural elements such as landscapes, flowers and birds, and solar terms into its modeling language. Each two-hour period corresponds to specific materials, colors, and patterns, creating a cycle of all things in nature, each displaying its unique charm. The series not only inherits the subtlety of ancient craftsmanship but also endows it with contemporary simplicity and elegance.

Relying on the full-link empowerment of the twelve two-hour periods cultural IP, HIPINE breaks the traditional static display model of intangible cultural heritage, transforming profound historical culture into daily art that can be worn and felt close to the pulse. This elevates precious metal watches from "wearable precious metals" to "wearable cultural symbols," realizing the two-way empowerment of cultural value and product value.

At this exhibition, HIPINE also showcased its innovative category of precious metal smart jewelry. Selecting high-quality precious metals and gemstone materials, the products break through the limitations of traditional smart device casings, featuring jewelry-level texture and light luxury style, achieving a leapfrog upgrade from smart wearable devices to high-end jewelry accessories, and opening up a new track in the precious metal smart jewelry industry.

Leveraging independently developed AI agents, integrated AI chips, biosensor arrays, and multiple structural design patents, the products build a new ecosystem integrating AI intelligent office assistant, healthy life management, and fashionable trend wearing, achieving a full-scenario service closed loop of "Device + Cloud + AI."

The smart jewelry can be deeply connected with smartphones, accurately recording exercise trajectories, sleep status, and heart rate data while generating professional analysis reports, allowing intelligent technology to accompany users closely.

From the industrial hub of Shenzhen Shuibei to the national intangible cultural heritage art museum in Beijing, HIPINE offers time as a gift, bringing the profound memories of thousands of years of intangible cultural heritage and oriental beauty into daily life, and conveying wearable and resonant cultural imprints.
