[LAYERS of TIME]
In 1924, we created our first product, a pocket watch. The theme of the cross-sectional project that will appear in this milestone year, 100 years since then, is “LAYERS of TIME”. Using Fujifilm Corporation's structural color ink, the dial is decorated with a design reminiscent of the beautiful interior scenes created by the Earth over time, such as geological formations and minerals.
[ATTESA continues to advance the next generation with titanium]
Black is layered in a gradation pattern using inkjet on the structural color film dial, creating the image of a beautiful and fantastic underground scene where brilliance peeks out from the darkness. The rings surrounding the sub-dials at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock are intentionally left transparent with a step. In addition to taking advantage of the brilliance of the structural colors, the fine circle pattern on the surface brings about various changes in the appearance of the structural colors depending on the angle.
[Citizen's radio-controlled clock that keeps accurate time at all times]
Equipped with Citizen's proprietary light-powered Eco Drive technology that eliminates the need for regular battery replacement. A world time radio clock that synchronizes to accurate time no matter where you are. It is packed with radio-controlled clock technology that Citizen has been challenging for 30 years.
