Visual Presentation

While thinning a watch can have a significant technological impact when it "fulfills its functions," it also imposes design limitations due to the need to "eliminate elements." This model overcomes the strict dimensional constraints of being the thinnest light-powered watch, achieving a form that fully embodies both functionality and decorative appeal. The case uses a composite material called cermet, and both the bezel and case back are sandwiched with binderless cemented carbide, which is hard and highly corrosion-resistant. The joining surfaces of the parts are designed with recesses and protrusions. This structure suppresses the overall thickness while increasing strength, and by adding slopes to the upper and lower side surfaces of the case and the tips of the lugs, it creates a visual effect that makes the watch appear even thinner. The indexes and radial pattern printing on the dial are thin and long, with the top and bottom of the print tapering, creating an effect that blurs the outline of the outer and inner diameters. This design symbolizes that the watch is powered by "light" and also helps prevent a decrease in light transmittance due to increased printed area. The hour and minute hands feature both polished and matte finishes, utilizing the blackout effect of the polished surface to make them appear thinner than their actual width, creating a smart look that matches both visibility and the case design. This is a thin model where you can sense the effort to "captivate" in every detail.
