Wood carving is a traditional Chinese folk craft that was inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2008. This design carves the 12 zodiac wood into the form and then engravs it with traditional patterns, which are extracted from the graphics of ancient artifacts or murals, and innovatively designed. The bottom graphic is displayed in the form of traditional compass woodcuts, and then uses the technique of layered reconstruction to present a sense of space on the watch. When turned, it seems to open the mysterious door of traditional culture.
