Taking advantage of the structural constraints of the ring solar system, where the solar cell is placed on the inner surface of the case, this model features a ring shape inside the case that appears to float in midair. The visual effect makes the inner dial and the separate outer ring appear as if they are a single, three-dimensional dial with varying heights. The same stamped pattern is applied from the dial to the separate outer ring, and the indexes are arranged radially, which plays an important role in enhancing this effect. The wide-opening case, freed from the constraints of the dial opening, achieves a surprisingly thin appearance from the side by boldly trimming the back, creating an unexpected effect that differs from the impression from the front.
The boldly placed ring inside the case serves as a strong accent, and the indexes arranged across the ring create an effect that makes the dial appear more expansive.
Unlike the impression from the front, the side view of the case is extremely thin, showcasing the ingenuity of the design.
A ring with a floating presence is placed inside the case, visually connecting the inner dial and the separate outer ring, creating an effect that eliminates the sense of constraint from the dial opening.
By applying the same stamped pattern to both the dial and the separate ring, and arranging the indexes to connect radially, the dial appears larger.
The combination of the triangular shapes at the tip of the lugs and on both sides of the single-leg lugs gives a sharp and modern touch.
The back of the case is boldly trimmed, and together with the finish, the side view appears extremely thin.
By raising the inner ring section of the case, a visual effect is created that makes the dial and the separate outer ring appear as a single dial.
ENGINEER'S EYE
Energetic Composition
Designed as a youth-oriented model with an eye toward advanced styling. By adopting a ring solar system that draws light from the rehaut slope for power, the dial is made of metal.
This model was created by a Hong Kong–based designer and is filled with an energetic sense of form, as if reflecting the vibrant local atmosphere.
The most notable example is the 17-facet composition on the top of the case, whose polishing process is extremely challenging and requires complex masking. Even so, with ingenuity befitting a watch for young people, we achieved the intricate multi-faceted design—endowed with the brilliance the designer envisioned.
