7 Windows Hakose Minase wanted to create a watch that would showcase its vision, by embracing geometric designs seldom seen in watchmaking. In Japan, mathematics and geometry are not just for academics, but are utilized to emphasize aesthetic dimensions of beauty. The 7 Windows leather collection is available in stainless steel or in 18K rose or yellow gold. A square watch The rectangular case symbolizes the imperfection of our earthly world, while the round shape of the dial symbolizes perfection, infinity, calm. The 7 sapphire crystal windows reveal the dial through the watch case from five different angles. The top sapphire crystal is spherical on both of its axis and has an antireflective coating. The polyhedric crown bears the brand’s logo, a drill head that pays homage to the origins of the parent company, Kyowa.   Handmade in Japan As every Minase watch, the 7 Windows leather Collection is manufactured in Japan. All Minase timepieces bear the registered label “HiZ“, a concept inspired by the Japanese words Hizu (exceptional) and Hi Izuru Kuni (Land of the rising sun).
