Commentary: A Gemstone That Captivates All Who See It
This design is inspired by the large, boldly cut gemstones that were worn during the Art Deco era. The edge of the case has been made as thin as possible, and the case back is curved to fit the wrist, with a cut that integrates the case and sapphire glass into a single form. To fully embody the image of a 'boldly cut gemstone' down to the smallest detail, the hands are asymmetrical, and the clasp cover also features cut sapphire glass. Beautiful from every angle, the ever-changing appearance exudes an enchanting allure that makes you want to keep gazing at it.

Crystal of Light

At first glance, you might be tempted to answer "Is it a watch or a jewel?" with the latter, as this model completely breaks away from the conventional appearance of a watch. The bold design fully embodies the concept of "wearing light." The crown is made extremely small, the case is chamfered, and even the clasp is boldly adorned with sapphire, thoroughly expressing the concept. The dial is minimized to the limit without losing balance, fitted with hands inspired by crystals, and the finishing touch is a glass thicker than the center of the case, giving the side profile an impressive presence. Unconstrained by the boundaries of wristwatches, its pursuit of beauty is exhilarating.
