One Balance

After completing Design Management at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom in 2023. Ming wanted to start a new venture in the timepiece industry. He registered ONE BALANCE trademark in the Intellectual Property Office in London.

Due to the UK’s climatic characteristics, Ming found that reading timepieces in low-light conditions can be challenging, especially in places where the weather is frequently rainy and cloudy as well as the nights are long, and the days are short. Even, the lands where the sun doesn’t rise, such as Polar Night (1-3 months per year).

For hundreds of years, clockmakers and watchmakers have been dedicated to solving low-light visibility to expand timepiece capability in the dark. The majority of luxury brands equip their products with luminous features, such as Chromalight, LumiNova, Tritium Gas Tubes, etc. However, these coated luminescent materials and gas tube have physically limited performance in low-light conditions.

One Balance introduces The Hubble Traveller, a device that reshapes our understanding of clocks and their place in everyday life. This approach leaves behind the relentless ticking and rigid indicators that have defined timekeeping for generations. Instead of following old conventions, The Hubble Traveller expresses hours, miuntes and seconds as subtle shifts in smart perpetual glowing light, encouraging a more reflective relationship with each passing moment.
