Chiisana Tokei means tiny clock in Japanese. Designed by renowned industrial designer Riki Watanabe and crafted by Lemnos, the Chiisana Tokei made its debut in the 1970s. It quickly established itself as a leader in personal clocks, which at the time were typically ornate and larger in size. The stand included with the clock allows for it to be mounted to the wall or set on a table. The color of the raised numerals matches that of the dial. The clock does not feature a second hand and has no ticking sound.

Celebrated post-war industrial designer Riki Watanabe established Japan's first design studio in 1949. Lemnos has been making clocks since 1947. The Chiisana Tokei clock has been included in the permanent collection of the JIDA Design Museum.

The blue dial changes color slightly depending on the light, which makes it feel alive on my desk. It’s been keeping perfect time for three weeks now, and the sweep second hand is so silent I forget it’s there.

The clean white face is easy to read from across the room, and the gentle tick is just loud enough without being distracting. The only thing I'd change is making the alarm a bit louder for heavy sleepers.
