Keep it long, treasure it long.

Unobtrusive, but with a solid presence

This is a reprint of the "Small Wall Clock" released in 1970 by Japan's leading product designer, Riki Watanabe. In the 1970s, there were many clocks with flashy decorations, but this clock, which showed a strong personality while eliminating unnecessary decoration, was highly praised by many designers and architects around the world.
The small clock is small in size, about 12 cm in diameter, and was reprinted in 2007 as the Riki Watanabe model, with a new mold and a revised design while retaining the atmosphere of the time, such as the relief letters and hand stopper.

Passion for Clocks
The main feature of this small clock is the three-dimensional letters, which are made by one piece molding and create a beautiful shadow. Although it does not have a retro feel, the unique font gives the design a nostalgic atmosphere.
The convex numbers are small but make a strong presence as an interior decoration, so please choose from the wide variety of frame colors to match the interior of your room. At first glance, it may look ordinary, but its calculated design is unlike any other watch design, and it is no wonder that it has been reissued over time.

Master of Industrial Design

Designer Watanabe Riki was a pioneer who brought innovation to the dawn of postwar Japanese design.
In the 1940s, when design was not yet common, he released many masterpieces that were based on the origin of design, function. Watch design is almost Watanabe Riki's life work, and he has created many watches that are loved throughout the ages, based on the design base that no matter how thick the letters or hands are, they must look light.
In addition, we often come into contact with Watanabe Riki's designs in our daily lives, and in addition to watches, he was involved in many product designs for service facilities and public places, such as hotel interiors, chairs, and furniture.

"It is entirely conceivable that interior design can enter the world of "fiction" like a stage set. However, the space and time created by the stage and the actors must be "something" that transcends fiction for the audience. If the fiction is too obvious, it becomes boring." These are the words of Watanabe Riki, a designer Japan is proud of. Watanabe Riki's items, created by this designer who remained active throughout his life until his death at the age of 101, are clearly imprinted with Watanabe Riki's signature "Riki" and his passion for design.
