"The calm heart of a Japanese garden with a leaf of Momiji
The Japanese garden is a well-known and much admired aspect of Japanese culture and provides the inspiration for this new Presage collection. The dial has the depth and rich texture of a Karesansui or Zen garden in which gravel is raked into serene, following patterns like wavesor rippling water. The deeply pressed pattern on the dial creates dramatic shadows as do the furrows of gravel in the Karesansui garden.
In addition, in this model, the number XII on the dial is in red, as if it were the Momiji leaf fallen in the garden, and the moving seconds and 24-hour hands are also in red symbolizing the leaves that are falling from the tree."
