WabiFace Ruri Karakuri sets a rose gold skeleton movement into a dial of lapis stone, maple leaves and flowing water.
βοΈ THE MOVEMENT
Six brass wheels turn continuously in the openwork plate at the centre. They are laid out under the bridges rather than on top of them, so a wheel runs beneath a bridge and out the other side, the way a movement is actually built. Each wheel turns at its own speed, and neighbouring wheels turn opposite ways.
π LAPIS, MAPLE AND WATER
Frosted silver and copper maple leaves drift across a deep lapis ground. Below them the water carries the low gold of late light. Maple leaves on flowing water is one of the oldest pairings in Japanese design.
π HANDS AND MARKERS
Gold baton hands over applied gold hour markers, with a seconds hand that sweeps rather than ticks.
β FOUR WINDOWS
- Battery, with a ring that fills as the charge does (top)
- Steps (left)
- Heart rate (right)
- Day of the week (bottom)
π¨ ACCENT COLOUR
Five accent colours - Gold, Amber, Ice Blue, Rose Gold and Silver - recolour the readouts and the battery ring, so the instrumentation can be warmed or cooled against the blue.
π
DATE
The day of the month sits in the dial's own ivory aperture at three o'clock.
π AMBIENT MODE
Built for always-on display. The wheels stop and the readouts rest to save power, while the gold hour markers, the outer rim and the hands stay legible.
