HORIZON

The ultimate handmade watch

Nature presents recurring instances of the golden ratio, which is said to be the divine proportions that underpin beauty.
MINASE is constantly pushing the boundaries of its handmade timepiece technology to achieve such level of beauty present in nature.
As its name suggests, the curvature of the HORIZON watch case evokes the infinitely vast horizon.

When the watch is viewed from either side, one notices that the fulcrums of the hour and minute hands are positioned higher than the four corners of the case.
The watch’s overarching crystal is made of pure sapphire glass that is cut and polished on both surfaces.

The case and lugs are also made of separate parts. The lugs combine parts having either a hairline or mirror finish, thereby achieving a brilliant appearance that no conventional single-case design watch can mimic. While more and more products are manufactured in uniform fashion using digital technology, MINASE leverages the full potential of humans’ delicate senses to achieve the level of beauty present in nature.
HORIZON is the ultimate handmade watch that epitomizes such philosophy.

Thinner. More massive.

Horizon, which is designed with the motif of an endless horizon, is characterized by its highly curved dome windshield formed by cutting and polishing the front and back sides of solid sapphire glass and the sense of tension like that of a water surface when viewed from the side.

The hollow in the side of the case looks stately like a Japanese sword, representing subtle yet bold Japanese beauty in contrast with the satin-finished surface.

FEATURES

The hollow in the side of the case gives the HORIZON a tense and beautiful appearance. It is moderate but includes a beauty that appeals to men. Every face of the crown is provided with an attractive luster by sallaz polishing. The logo is engraved with pride.

A design that naturally fits your wrist with a supremely comfortable feel that results from the lug positioned boldly low while narrowing the shape and arranging the angle. HORIZON perfectly fits your wrist even when you put it on for the first time, marking the start of a lifetime partnership.

We provide two types of strap: stainless steel and rubber. The rubber strap is perfect for men who lead an active life. It is made of heat-, cold-, and sweat-resistant ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM). Without changing HORIZON’s sophisticated design, this strap adds a casual character befitting adult men.

What attracts men may be the massive, powerful solidity of the dial plate of HORIZON. It conveys a sense of strong will hidden beneath the tense water surface, a sense of pride in oneself. Note that the hands curved along the windshield are positioned higher than the case.
