FIVE WINDOWS

Ultimate presence

MINASE’s case-in-case structure originated from its vision to create a multifaceted case with diverse surfaces that showcase the watchmaker’s signature technique of advanced Sallaz polishing.

During development, each time one of the facets of the watch was designed, it produced a new reflection of light, eventually culminating in multiple layers of light that reflect off the watch.
This persistent design process naturally led to the birth of the case-in-case design embodied by FIVE WINDOWS, a timepiece of pure uniqueness.

MINASE artisans spend as much as 30 minutes to make the single part of a crown, and 90 minutes to craft the single part of a dial ring that also functions as indices.
They apply Sallaz polishing to every cut surface, no matter how small it may be, taking as much time and effort as the work requires, to achieve the consummate beauty of FIVE WINDOWS.
MINASE was determined to create and bring to the world a true masterpiece of a watch that only it could do, thanks to its origin as a tool manufacturer. MINASE poured its heart and soul into making FIVE WINDOWS, giving the watch brand name recognition on the world stage.

FIVE WINDOWS

The case-in-case structure is like a microcosm enclosing time.

You can enjoy the overwhelming solidity and massiveness of the dial plate through the five windows in the windshield, back lid, and case sides.

The views through the five sapphire glass windows are silent like the snowy view of a Japanese garden through a sliding paper door or circular window, representing the delicate beauty that varies with the time.
