RIKI Alarm Clock by Watanabe Riki: Brown

This round, wooden framed alarm clock is designed by Watanabe Riki in collaboration with specialist timepiece makers Lemnos. Watanabe was one of Japan’s famed design pioneers, known especially for his work on clocks and watches as well as for opening Japan’s first design office in 1949. This alarm clock is named after its celebrated maker, yet each one is unique owing to the natural grain of the wood used for the frame. The clock face is modern yet timeless, with easily readable hands and numbers, mixing the practicality of everyday use with the beauty of craftsmanship.

Chūbu

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.
