A Reversal of Thinking
Taking advantage of the structural constraints of the ring solar system, where the solar cell is placed on the inner surface of the case, this model features a ring shape inside the case that appears to float in midair. The visual effect makes the inner dial and the separate outer ring appear as if they are a single, three-dimensional dial with varying heights. The same stamped pattern is applied from the dial to the separate outer ring, and the indexes are arranged radially, which plays an important role in enhancing this effect. The wide-opening case, freed from the constraints of the dial opening, achieves a surprisingly thin appearance from the side by boldly trimming the back, creating an unexpected effect that differs from the impression from the front.
