ntroducing new dials on the Windows collection is what Minase brings next. Until now, the dials were made of steel and treated with PVD. They are now available in electroformed copper material, lacquered in white, blue, green and ice blue colours.

The Yukihira pattern, as it now appears on the dials, originates from a hammering process. It reflects light beautifully and creates a sense of depth and shadow. It is enhanced by the beautiful indexes and case, treated with Minase’s exclusive handmade Sallaz polishing.

The Windows collection showcases Minase’s vision of geometry; a mean to emphasise aesthetic dimensions of beauty. The geometric design of the watch is something never seen in watchmaking. Each one of the 7 sides of the case is adorned with a sapphire window enabling a 360° view upon the movement. The Windows collection is available in stainless steel or in 18K rose or yellow gold. The watch features a stunning interplay of brushed and sallaz polished areas, creating a captivating visual appeal.

Each Windows is equipped with a top-execution Swiss ETA 2892-2 movement customised for the brand with a bespoke rotor attached with ceramic bearings. Minase combines both Swiss precision and Japanese traditional know-how. The brand’s logo, a drill head, pays homage to Kyowa, Minase’s parent company, a supplier of high-end watch components and tools since 1963.
