This is yet another piece of Chinese unique way of naming a
watch. The brand is Xiangshan (象山) or Elephant Hill. This hill is
also known as Xiangbishan (象鼻山) or Elephant Trunk Hill. It looks
like a gigantic elephant dipping its trunk into the river. This is an icon of
Guilin (桂林),
one of the most scenic park in China about which there is an ancient saying:
"桂林山水甲天下
" (Guilin is the most scenic park on earth).
In the logo, there is a knob on top of Elephant Hill. It actually depicts Puxian Pagoda (普贤塔) which is situated on the hill top. It is an ancient pagoda built during Ming dynasty (1368-1644). See picture below:
