In this manner, one can define a sort of taxonomy of social networks that can be built by the simple comparison of their statistical properties. The repertoire available of statistical measures of social networks increases as far as this procedure is applied to different cases. Introducing these concepts to the social sciences implies that we can build social networks from sets of observable sociological relations, such as individual interactions, associations of human groups, Internet’s social networks, etc. Given these structures, some patterns can be associated with networks measures which determine their classification. As the study of objects advances under the network’s paradigm, some classes of networks arise as a function of their statistical structures. Such areas include physics, social sciences, communication, economy, financial market, computer science, internet, World Wide Web, transportation, electric power distribution, molecular biology, ecology, neuroscience, linguistics, climate networks and so on. This process is accomplished as far as the fundamental concepts of complex network theory are applied to problems that may arise from many areas of study. We operate free deliveries worldwide on all our watches in addition to a 30-Day No-Questions-Asked return policy.The paradigm’s shift from reductionism to holism stands for a stepping stone that is taking researcher’s interests to the interdisciplinary approach. Simply get in touch at and we will arrange for your watch to be picked up, serviced and returned to you as new. In addition, we offer a 24-months warranty on all our pieces to make sure you are covered whatever happens. Similarly, our goal with Atelier Wen is to break down false dichotomies and combine the experiences of East and West into a greater whole.Īll our watches are tested for several weeks and regulated in five positions to ensure their accuracy and durability.

Rather than being separate entities, Kun and Peng are just two sides of the same element. Said to be a colossal bird (Peng) with the ability to turn into an aquatic being (Kun), it is used as an allegory of the concept of Yin Yang. It represents a deeply-embossed figure of an animal of Chinese legend, Kunpeng. the entire date mechanism has been removed) and +/- 10 s/d accuracy - on par with its Swiss counterparts.įinally, the case-back is certainly one of the most striking aspects of the collection. It is a custom-made SL-3006 automatic mechanical movement with bi-directional winding, no phantom click (i.e. The movement is among the very best in China. The dial is complemented with a handcrafted set of heat-blued leaf hands that beautifully fit the watch's overall aesthetic and can be fully appreciated thanks to a transparent double-domed sapphire crystal. These serve as a reference to an ancient time-measurement system called the “12 Earthly Branches” within which each branch represents a two-hour segment. The characters in the top left, You (酉), and bottom right, Mao (卯), represent the hours from 5PM to 7PM and 5AM to 7AM respectively. Noteworthy here is the subdial using Chinese patterns with a gripping asymmetry.

The result is a model with a strong personality, harking back to a millenary art and combining a solid structure with subtle aesthetics. From a structural perspective, it draws for inspiration on vintage « chronometre » dials from the 1940s/1950s. "Hao" (皓), denotes a white that is pure and without blemish, much like the dials of this model. Hao is a limited edition of 250 uniquely-numbered pieces. With its blue and white porcelain, this model is an homage to traditional Chinese Qinghua ceramics (青花瓷). Hao is one of the two models of the Porcelain Odyssey collection.
