At Geya, we've always felt that a watch is much more than a device worn to keep an eye on the time. A watch embodies a story on your wrist, a symbol of craftsmanship, and is an expression of one's individual taste. Recently, we were delighted to have our vision and work recognized on an international level with 2A Magazine (for which we were over the moon to collaborate with) in a truly beautiful article, "Geya Automatic Watch Being A Harmonization of Elegance and Precision in Timepieces," featuring Geya's Stellar Navigator Tourbillon Automatic Watch, dedicated to showcasing the watch's original design, technicalities, and the philosophy of the Geya brand.
Of course, this acknowledgement is not only a proud moment for Geya, but also a meaningful connection between East and West, between timeless heritage and contemporary design. In this blog, we'd like to share with our community what this international coverage means to us, highlight important points portrayed in the article, and provide some added history about the magazine that has given Geya this global nod as a craft.

Its mission is to create and showcase a platform to connect global design thinking, a talented group of creatives and colleagues from around the world. 2A features thought from those who are often truthfully unconcerned by trends, focusing instead on eternal aesthetics, ground-breaking innovation and consideration beyond form and function.
This is not just about trends; but about meaning. This is why we are especially grateful to be featured in 2A Magazine-- our watches are not based on trends or even beauty; they are purposeful, precise and passionate. Being seen as one of the best alongside some of the best companies and creators in the world, confirms our thought that Geya automatic watches have a meaning behind them that is worth stretching beyond borders.
What They Said About Us
The article focuses on one of our standout models: the Geya Stellar Navigator Tourbillon Automatic Watch. Here are some of the highlights from the article that truly captured the essence of our work:
-
“Harmony of Elegance and Precision” – The feature title itself speaks volumes. Geya’s philosophy has always been about finding the balance between artistic design and technical mastery. 2A Magazine recognized our watch not just for its looks, but for the harmony it creates between design heritage and engineering innovation.
-
Vintage Inspiration, Modern Flair – The article beautifully explained how our barrel-shaped design pays tribute to vintage wine casks and historic architecture, while still embracing a contemporary edge. This duality is at the heart of the Geya brand.
-
Transparency with Purpose – The hollow dial was highlighted as a visual and philosophical element. 2A called attention to how this transparent face gives wearers a rare and mesmerizing look into the heart of the movement—a poetic nod to openness and mechanical brilliance.
-
Craftsmanship That Tells a Story – According to the article, our watch offers more than timekeeping; it tells the story of tradition, design, and cultural elegance. Every gear, curve, and component is a result of years of dedication.
It’s both humbling and inspiring to see our values and designs reflected so clearly in another voice—especially one with such a broad, international audience.
Why This Feature Matters
In the world of watches, recognition from a respected publication means more than just visibility—it’s validation. When an organization like 2A Magazine, known for celebrating true design excellence, chooses to spotlight our brand, it strengthens our credibility and broadens our reach.
For years, Geya has committed itself to blending history with innovation. Our in-house R&D, decades of watchmaking experience, and a deep appreciation for mechanical artistry are what make our automatic watches exceptional. To have that effort acknowledged by design experts outside of our industry is both a reward and a motivation.
It also brings more global attention to the story of Chinese craftsmanship. At Geya, we proudly represent China’s growing reputation for quality, originality, and dedication in the world of horology. This feature opens new doors and allows more people to discover that behind every Geya automatic watch is a rich legacy and a bold vision for the future.
