RIKI Black Steel Clock
A timeless art piece or a clock, or both?
This RIKI design features a stick index arranged around an extra-fine needle with exquisite balance on the dial plate to be simple & delicate. They are excellent pieces produced with fine details such as the subtle matte painting of the frame body, and the second hand is the same color as the clock board.
After advocating the concept of a personal clock among the public as a “small wall clock,” our viewpoint further changed to look at its practicality. Quartz clocks are more precise, typically with an error of only a few seconds in a month. What kind of personality is suitable for them? If it is made smaller, the visibility will decrease. So it’s better to scale down the image than to reduce the actual size.
In 1977, those clocks were designed based on a theme of balance between “the power concentrating inside and spreading outside” and created one of the completed versions of the personal clock, which can appear larger or smaller using an ideal combination of lines toward twelve different directions and Arabic numerals. You can experience it by getting close and then stepping slightly back.
