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.

Christopher ★★★★★

The orange face is exactly the pop of color my desk needed—it’s tiny but the hands are still easy to read from across the room. I love that it’s a design from the 1970s yet feels totally modern sitting next to my monitor.

Robert E. ★★★★★

I was a little worried a clock designed in the 1970s would feel dated, but the minimal orange face actually fits perfectly on my modern desk. It's so small and unobtrusive that I barely notice it, yet I can still catch the time with a quick glance.

Adam ★★★★★

It’s been sitting on my desk for a week and I still catch myself glancing at it just for the design—that 70s silhouette is timeless. The orange is even richer in person, and the ticking is so quiet I forget it’s running until I check the time.
