Chiisana Tokai Clock: Red
Small enough to hold in your palm, large enough to change a room. Chiisana Tokei means tiny clock in Japanese — and Riki Watanabe meant every word of it. In 1970, he quietly upended an era of oversized, overdecorated timekeeping with this compact, confident circle of a clock.
The red here is the red of a good omen, a ripe tomato, a front door you notice from down the street. Unapologetically cheerful.
Relief numerals rise from the cream dial in quiet unity — tactile, considered, calm. Time, kept softly and silently.
Crafted by Lemnos, the Japanese clock house making timepieces since 1947, and part of the permanent collection of the JIDA Design Museum.
The best things come in small packages — and occasionally in red.
4.75”⌀ x 3” - The clock does not feature a second hand and has no ticking sound.
