Hare's Clock, Ke's Clock.
MONTHLY JOURNAL Dec. 2021 Gift for You

Hare's Clock, Ke's Clock.

If we want to know the time, our smartphones are more than enough. Despite this, the appeal of watches and clocks shows no sign of fading. Why do we continue to seek out watches? There are two possible reasons. One is the so-called status symbol. A watch is and always has been an icon. The other is to spice up a look. A watch peeking out from the sleeve of a coat is one of the few accessories that men are allowed to wear. Here we focus on the latter, and have selected watches that fit both the "hare" and "ke" styles of today.

The Hare watch is required to have a by-player appearance.

The watches are perfect for suits and suit-qualified dress-up styles. From tied-up suits, to jackets with high-gauge knitwear, to the more formal look of a Chesterfield coat, these models blend in with any "Halle" style, yet make a statement. The models we have selected will blend in with any "Halle" style, yet still make a statement.

SEIKO
Seiko Presage
Arita porcelain dials are the ultimate in modern classicism.

Arita porcelain covers the dial of SARW049, one of the Seiko Presage watches, which claims to be a watch brand that transmits Japanese aesthetics and inherits more than 100 years of watch-making tradition. The bluish luster comes from the oak ash (Isubai) glaze, which has been used in Arita-yaki for a long time. The large curves on the dial surface and the soft indentation on the sub-dials give the dial a three-dimensional effect that only porcelain can give. Porcelain, which was once used for pocket watch dials, is prone to cracking, but there is no need to worry with this piece.

CITIZEN
Citizen's Series 8
It sparkles like an aurora borealis.

The 830 Mechanical is part of the "Citizen Series Eight," a brand of mechanical watches introduced in 2021 under the design theme of "subtractive aesthetics. The eye-catching feature is the aurora borealis-like dial made of white butterfly shells and metal. The process of setting a white butterfly shell on top of a metal dial and then stacking a grid of metal plates and indexes on top of the white butterfly shell is truly a dial suitable for a special occasion. The masculine crown guard and bracelet complement the beauty of the dial. The movement, Cal. 0950, is Class 2 antimagnetic resistant to the effects of smurfotons and tablet magnetism. The average daily difference is -5 to +10 seconds.

HAMILTON
Hamilton's Ventura Quartz
Elvis Presley loved the Triangle.

The iconic "Ventura" watch from Hamilton. When it was introduced in 1957 as the world's first battery-powered wristwatch, it quickly became a collector's item. It was designed by Richard Arbib, also known as the designer of Cadillac. The asymmetrical triangular case with a shield motif attracted Elvis Presley. Presley replaced it with a bellows-style bracelet and used it both publicly and privately. The "Ventura" watch introduced here is a model that uses a flex bracelet in honor of Presley's style. It is a Presley model.
