Crafted by the Shinshu Watch Studio based in Shiojiri in Japan’s Shinshu region, the dial is inspired by the theme of “the moon drifting through clouds.” Nanoparticle metal multilayering technology*1 is used to express the clouds spreading across the dial’s surface and stars shimmering from within. The variations in intensity and gradation of colour create a distinctive sense of depth and shifting light, evoking slender clouds crossing a clear autumn sky and moonlight filtering through the gaps between them. The dial depicts the tranquil passage of time beneath a quiet night sky. * The granted patent related to nanoparticle metal multilayering technology: Japan: patent no. 7639981.

The moon phase display visible through the clouds on the dial features a new, patent-pending three-layered construction comprising a lustrous metal plate adorned with scattered stars against the backdrop of a night sky, a mother-of-pearl moon motif plate, and a moon phase drive wheel. The unique iridescence of the mother-of-pearl is used to exquisitely portray the moon’s gentle radiance.

The in-house calibre F8A62 is a slim hand-winding movement with moon phase and power reserve displays, equipped with an in-house silicon escape wheel that offers over 70 hours of power reserve. The movement features a carefully designed bridge shape that allows the blue escape wheel, Geneva stripes evoking star trails, and a crescent-shaped window to be viewed through the see-through caseback, reflecting meticulous attention to detail throughout.
