Capturing the mesmerising blue-grey  sheen of tantalum, the case and bracelet are finished in concave and  convex edges. To amplify the beauty of the metal, it is also executed in  a high degree of finishing of varied alternations of brushed, frosted  and mirror-polished surfaces.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese contrasting variants of  alternate edges and mixed finishing exhibit the harmonious duality in  the watch, inspired by the Chinese philosophical concepts of 阴 (yīn) and  阳 (yáng).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA masterpiece by China's premier dial enameler\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInflection features a grand feu enamel dial crafted by Koncise Enamel - one of China’s foremost enamel ateliers.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e渊 (Yuān), the permanent edition, showcases a deep midnight blue grand feu enamel on a 925-silver dial base.
