Calm, clean, and inspired by the Japanese flag. The white face features a bold red center circle ” an unmistakable visual reference to the Hinomaru ” surrounded by black Kanji characters standing in for the hour positions. The stark contrast of white, red, and black gives this clock a graphic power that works beautifully at larger sizes. It reads as both a functional timepiece and a deliberate design object. A wonderful choice for a contemporary living room, a home office, a minimalist bedroom, or any space that draws inspiration from Japanese aesthetics. Made in the USA, available in 8 sizes, ultra-quiet mechanism.
