SEVEN WINDOWS Yuki-hira Dial Model
2025年3月21日
A New Dial Design Added to the SEVEN WINDOWS watch line, Artistic Timepieces with Seven Apertures.
The Yukihira dial, which expresses Japan’s time-honored aesthetics since antiquity, is crafted by a unique method called electroforming to achieve its exquisite, pristine, luminous design reminiscent of a snowfield. Available in four different colors of blue, green, ice blue, and white, the new Yukihira-dial model exhibits mesmerizing hues however viewed. The dial’s design, which has received high acclaim both in Japan and globally, changes its expression in myriad ways depending on the angle of light falling upon it from one moment to the next.
The SEVEN WINDOWS is named for the seven glass apertures that comprise the six surfaces of its rectangular case, with the side adjoining the crown split into two. The SEVEN WINDOWS may be described as a seven-faceted skeleton watch. The clean view of the dial’s exceptional three-dimensionality and texture can be enjoyed from all angles: through the wide-open crystal, the case back, and the seven windows placed all around the case. This is a feature made possible by the watch’s case-in-case structure.
MINASE’s original, overwhelming presence is embodied in this case-in-case structure of its watches. The structure creates the illusion that the inner case, which holds the movement, the sculpted dial, and the three-dimensional indexes on the ring, are all floating in space.
Another distinctive feature of the SEVEN WINDOWS is the ridgelines of its case, which resemble the edge of a Japanese sword. This exquisite finish is the product of the finest artisanship using Sallaz polishing, a technique of manual burnishing that results in the optimal smoothness and sharpness, which are diametrically opposed aesthetic qualities.
In Japan, the belief that brilliance resides in the divine has been passed down through generations since ancient times. The SEVEN WINDOWS watches manifest this unique Japanese quality of beauty, and have received acclaim around the world.
