In order to satisfy the need of watch-lovers, the skeletal design of “spider rest” (equipment used in snooker game) is used not only to show its precise pieces of subassembly module and operation, but also matches the theme of snooker, which has shown the passion of Marco Fu towards snooker. When the watch is winded up, the modules and gears drives the movement moving, just like a ball collides with another one on snooker table.
