Wabi–Sabi: Wabi = simple quietude, Sabi = elegant simplicity
It is the quintessential Japanese aesthetic. It is a beauty of things modest, humble and unconventional. The aesthetic is sometimes described as beauty that is imperfect and incomplete. It is a concept derived from Buddhism. The inner complexity is only equaled by the understatement of the timepiece.
Time is displayed by a flush mounted revolving dial that contains all the graphical elements in one plane. This innovative way to represent time avoids superimposed information like hands covering an underlying dial. It visually prioritizes time scales and enhances readability. Graphically, time seems to be displayed on the outer skin of the watch.
The SeriesOne Collection comes in a range of colors, most notably the 1005 Browny. The strap and dial combine a brown and grey color into the perfect hue for sophistication. Limited to 150 pieces for the SeriesOne, each watch is made exclusively.
The patented display system features a revolving dial module driven by a Swiss caliber. The revolving dial plate points out the minutes, the lunatic sub-dials inside the main dial plate indicate the hour, minute, second and am/pm. The sub-dials orbit around a virtual axis similar to the moons around Saturn. Every hour sketches a different layout of the time represented on the dial.
