Grand Seiko and BCXSY present The Journey of Birch
The connection between the dial of the SLGH005 and the birch forests of northern Japan, once a private conversation between watch and wearer, is now writ large with The Journey of Birch. Panoramic murals set the scene of a birch forest while framing the centrepiece of the installation: a three-ring clock that spans the height of the installation. Reminiscent of watch hands traversing the dial to tell the time, each ring has its own distinctly finished metal-rod that moves at its own rate, by the hour, minute, and second, marking the time by drawing circles in the sand at the base of the clock.
