江詩丹頓Métiers d'Art系列Tribute to Traditional Symbols腕錶
「海水江崖紋」這種山水相依、波濤澎湃的裝飾紋樣是中國傳統文化標誌的一部分，北京故宮博物院前副研究館員宋先生對該紋樣甚有研究，在這四款時計傑作的創作過程中，宋先生親自對江詩丹頓的工藝大師進行了指導。四款腕錶配有直徑38mm的18K粉紅金或白金錶殼，由2460機芯驅動腕錶的中心指標，錶盤以極具衝擊力的設計語言和工藝表達，傳遞中國傳統文化豐富悠久的意涵。這種標誌性紋飾也經常使用在瓷器、家具和衣物上，尤其是常見於龍袍的刺繡中。精美華貴的刺繡點綴於絲質龍袍之上，其紋樣展現了中國傳統文化標誌的悠久傳承。
中國傳統紋飾歷史悠久，早在新石器時代，表現山水的紋樣就出現在各種不同的藝術品上；到了宋元時期，山紋和水紋的形態越來越清晰傳神，逐漸湧現兩者共同組成的山水紋；到了明朝，萬曆皇帝(1573-1620年)欽點命名這種懸崖峭壁伴著浪花澎湃的紋樣為「海水江崖紋」，「海水江崖紋」由此誕生，並於明清期間漸漸發展成熟。「海水江崖紋」代表着帝王任憑萬般險阻依然巍峨不動的威嚴天尊，呈現出波濤洶湧但高山巋然不動的自然意象。
