WabiFace Ruri Karakuri sets a rose gold skeleton movement into a dial of lapis stone, maple leaves and flowing water.
⚙️ 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.
🍁 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.
🕐 HANDS AND MARKERS
Gold baton hands over applied gold hour markers, with a seconds hand that sweeps rather than ticks.
⌚ FOUR WINDOWS
- Battery, with a ring that fills as the charge does (top)
- Steps (left)
- Heart rate (right)
- Day of the week (bottom)
🎨 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.
📅 DATE
The day of the month sits in the dial's own ivory aperture at three o'clock.
🌙 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.
