Category: The Desktop

Designer Morito Yoshi recognized plywood's warmth, its grain, its quiet unpretentiousness — and let those qualities speak. The face is the wood itself, unstained and unadorned, entirely at ease with what it is. Crisp aluminum hands. A silent sweeping second hand.

In continuous production for over twenty years, it has outlasted trends by ignoring them entirely.

Plywood sourced from West Virginia, assembled by hand in Japan. Recipient of Japan's Good Design Long Life Award — design that endures because it was conceived to last.

Takata Lemnos, Japan.

Part of our Clocks and Japanese Minimalism collection.

Richard X. ★★★★★

The unstained plywood face gives it this warm, organic feel that changes with the light — it’s the first thing guests comment on. The grain lines are so distinct up close, and the quiet ticking is barely there, which I love for my desk. Only wish the hands were a touch longer for reading at a glance

Grace ★★★★★

It’s honestly refreshing to find a clock that doesn’t try to be anything but wood—the unstained face sits quietly on my desk and somehow makes the whole room feel calmer. The visible grain catches the afternoon light differently every hour, which is a small thing but exactly why I keep glancing over

Emily H. ★★★★★

The grain on this one is gorgeous—it’s like having a tiny piece of furniture that just sits there quietly, no fuss. Every time I glance over, the unstained wood catches the light differently, and it’s somehow both calm and characterful. Exactly the vibe I wanted for my desk.
