Sino-Japanese

There are two ways of writing numerals in Japanese, Arabic ( 1,2,3 ) or Sino-Japanese, numerals from Chinese origins.

Small in scale, rich in character.

The Sino-Japanese Collection offers a distinctive interpretation of time through characters of Chinese origin, creating an elegant alternative to familiar Roman or Arabic numerals. Set against a hand-painted black face, the gilded characters form a carefully balanced composition that feels both historic and strikingly contemporary.

The dial is formed from 2 mm solid brass, giving this compact clock a reassuring sense of quality and substance. Its face is painted black before the chapters and detailing are finished by hand in gold leaf, creating a deliberate contrast between the deep, quiet background and the warm metallic elements that catch the light. Solid brass, traditional gilding and restrained detailing come together to give the clock far more presence than its scale might suggest.

At just 180 mm in diameter, Sino-Japanese is designed to sit on a desk, console or shelf, displayed on its clear stand. A high-powered quartz movement provides dependable battery-operated timekeeping while adjustments are made discreetly from the rear, leaving the carefully finished face uninterrupted. Its compact proportions make it particularly suited to considered interiors where material, craftsmanship and individual detail can be appreciated at close quarters.

Each numbered Sino-Japanese Collection clock is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and discreet engraved brass plaque recording the individual details of the piece and its date of completion.
