Lemnos WR12-03 L Hibiya Clock for Wall

The challenge lay in addressing the issue of heavy architecture. This concern has been masterfully tackled by renowned architects Yosaku Matsumoto (known for his "First Service for Life" concept), Yoshiro Taniguchi, and Mr. Katumi. A prominent example of their work can be found at the Hibiya intersection, where the Daiichi Headquarters Pole Clock, unveiled in 1972, stands as a significant piece that reflects their architectural brilliance. The clock is not only a representation of Mr. Katumi’s talent but is also highly regarded in the architectural community.

The design of the clock is striking in its simplicity and strength, perfectly encapsulated to its essentials. This masterpiece serves as a public clock, making it both functional and a work of art. In 2012, to commemorate its 40th anniversary, the clock was reimagined to fit a more personal scale, subsequently integrating into the "Hibiyani Watch" collection. This new version of the watch promises to be a prominent conversation starter.

Specifications of the Hibiyani Watch include a diameter of 10.0 inches (256 mm) and a depth of 1.8 inches (4.6 mm), with a total weight of 25.1 oz (740 g). It is constructed from high-quality aluminum and glass, ensuring durability and a striking aesthetic. Manufactured in Japan, this timepiece not only showcases fine craftsmanship but also embodies the elegance of modern design.

Included with the watch are wall mounting wood screws and a required 1 AA battery for operation. The movement mechanism features a step movement, necessitating batteries for functionality. With its combination of artistic design and practicality, the Hibiyani Watch stands out as a testament to innovative clock design.
