HKDI Student Christine Yip won Champion at the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition
Yip Yuen Sze (Christine Yip), a student of the Higher Diploma in Jewellery Design and Technology at the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), has won the Champion and the Made-to-Sell Award in the Student Group of the 43rd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design Competition with her design entitled Traces of Storm.
Christine explains that true, limitless possibilities begin with the courage to summon storm clouds, the breakthrough of unleashing lightning to forge a new path, and the strength to embrace the resulting tornado. Her design expresses the notion of allowing the storm to sweep through and reshape the self. When the wind subsides, it leaves traces of erosion that are not scars but the textures that define an individual’s uniqueness.
The winning piece showcases Christine’s ability to combine conceptual storytelling with innovative watch design, and her achievement has been warmly recognised by the industry.
