“RIKI MARINE CLOCK”, designed by Riki Watanabe
Released March 1, 2024

A dignified appearance. This clock exudes a presence that quietly resonates with Riki Watanabe’s admiration for the sea. Watanabe’s fondness for distinctive nautical marine clocks led him to collect several of them. In 1979, he translated his interpretation of the genre into a design for an interior clock.
The frame, forged from stainless steel, features a stepped finish that gives off a subtle glow. Carefully crafted details include the aluminum machined inside, original brass decorative screws, and beveled acrylic winds, creating a classical image with a modern twist. With a particular focus on the Didoni typeface Arabic numerals, we conducted multiple experiments to evaluate their compatibility and balance with the frame shape and materials. The journey to achieve this refined state was time-intensive. Choose from a version featuring Arabic numerals with a second hand, reminiscent of a marine clock, or a more subdued version with Roman numerals without a second hand.
