First about the watch:
This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (ζ΅·ιΈ₯) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.
Nice silver pie pan dial.
The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (倩ζ΄₯ζ葨ε).
That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 葨 at the right place for the photo.
Now for your Chinese lesson:
The character 葨 biΗo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.
Examples:
葨带 biΗo dΓ i watchband
ζ葨 shΗubiΗo wristwatch
ι葨 zhΕngbiΗo clock
εε葨 yΔlΓ¬ biΗo pressure gauge
ι«εΊ¦θ‘¨ gΔodΓΉ biΗo altimeter

A protective structure for border security built during the Ming Dynasty (1386-1644) in northern China.
The complex was built in sections at different times using different construction techniques.
Wide, walkable walls in northern Beijing dating from the second half of the 16th century form the iconic image of the Great Wall of China and have become emblematic of China.
The length of the protective structure is currently (even longer! ) given as 6260 Km.
I took this picture during Chinese New Year celebrations in Paris. I like the color mix going on here.
