  • How does the MAEN Mahjong 36 special edition blend cultural symbolism with refined watchmaking?

Swedish watch brand MAEN announces the launch of the MAHJONG 36 Limited Edition,created in collaboration with Hong Kong and Macau horology media platform Horoverse as its creative partner. Following their highly regarded neon light-inspired project, MAEN once again embraces Horoverse’s local cultural insights to highlight another fading oriental heritage:hand-carved Mahjong tiles. More than just a game,Mahjong is a cultural bridge connecting global Chinese communities and the East and West, historically serving as a crucial medium for social bonding. Through this timepiece, MAEN translates the profound dedication of traditional craftsmanship into the design language of horology.

To achieve a harmonious blend of vintage and elegance, this special edition is built upon the perfectly symmetrical MAEN Brooklyn 36 Triple Calendar. The MAEN and Horoverse teams consciously stepped away from common flashy aesthetics, going through eight rigorous iterations to perfect a color palette that echoes the classic Mahjong colors (green, red, blue, and white) while maintaining the watch's understated texture. The dial features clever cultural details: replacing the model name with "MAHJONG" and, in a groundbreaking move, using Traditional Chinese characters for the month and day of the week displays. Hidden within is an Easter egg: the first lunar month (Zhengyue) deliberately corresponds to the Gregorian January. This subtle displacement nods to the historical shifts of the Chinese New Year, embodying the philosophy that change is the only constant. The custom Mahjong date wheel serves as the crowning touch—revealing the "1-Bamboo" (the Bird) on the 1st of the month, and the Green Dragon "Fat" (發), symbolizing wealth, on the 8th, injecting anticipation and surprise into the wearer's daily life. Additionally, a specially selected strap presents the unique tactile feel of a traditional Mahjong table. Embracing the fascinating thrill of the unknown in a Mahjong game, the caseback of each watch operates as a blind box. One of the three 'Dragon' tiles—Chung (中), Fat (發), or Bak (白)—is randomly laser-engraved, becoming a unique lucky charm for the wearer. Furthermore, the first 288 customers will be gifted an authentic Mahjong tile hand-carved by a local Hong Kong master, along with an illustrated poster detailing the tiles' history, perfectly completing this cultural journey. The MAHJONG 36 will be available globally as a strict 24-hour Time-Limited Edition on MAEN's official platform, starting March 22nd at 8:00 PM (HKT). The first 150 pieces are scheduled for delivery at the end of June, inviting watch and culture enthusiasts worldwide to witness this timekeeping art that bridges East and West.
