A fine art

Intricate enamel pieces used in top-quality watches are being produced in China, and the nation's watchmakers want consumers to know that their work is just as good as the top artisans in Europe. Wang Kaihao reports.

In a village in Huoxian town, a one-hour drive from downtown Beijing, there is an unremarkable looking warehouse. It seems incredible that this inconspicuous place is where delicate enamel creations of the highest craftsmanship are produced.

Xiong Songtao, 38, was born in a cabin adjacent to the workshop.
