Kehai Clock by Koizumi Makoto: White

“Kehai”(気配) embodies a slightly ambiguous sign of time. This minimalist wall clock features frosted glass and showcases a distinctive, enigmatic design by the renowned designer Koizumi Makoto.

The movement of the dimly visible hands softly conveys an ambiguous sign of time through the translucent glass. The red dot on the second hand slowly turns without ticking, like an objet d’art, allowing the passing of time to appear subtle and more relaxing than on a typical clock face.. The thin, delicate, yet strong aluminum frame is manufactured by Takata Factory using casting technology..

This calming clock is named ‘Kehai’ (気配), which translates as hint or suggestion, and conveys the purpose of this clock, which is to allow time to be more ambiguous and less defining in our lives.

''We sometimes find the presence of a clock unpleasant. And sometimes the existence of time is also unpleasant. So a slightly ambiguous sign of time is just fine.''

Made in Chūbu, Japan

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
