7 Windows

The 7 Windows was born from Minase's wish to apply to the dial a geometric language rarely seen in watchmaking, inspired by the aesthetic principles of Japanese mathematics. The name comes from the five sapphire windows visible on the dial — placed at 12, 3 (in pairs), 6 and 9 o'clock — which are joined, in effect, by the double spherical crystal enclosing them, composing a multi-layered design in which contemporary geometry and traditional craftsmanship coexist. The line's more elaborate versions, identified by the "HiZ Label" designation, bring together the brand's three most representative elements: the patented "case-in-case" construction, the rare hand-applied Zaratsu polishing on the steel parts, and the "MORE" (Minase Original Rebuild Equation) construction principle, designed to allow repeated disassembly and repair over time.
