Besides the masterpieces in the Forbidden City, Qing also wants to cover locally manufactured Western-style clocks in the Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

"I am sure someone will write better books than me in the future," he says. "But at least for now I can lead a new way."

And, with Ke, his old friend in the rock band, also now collecting watches, Qing can be sure that he is moving in the right direction.
