Time seems to accelerate in Tokyo, a city with a vibrant urban panorama, where skyscrapers sparkle like jewels in the night sky, while its streets brim with incessant energy.
At the heart of this turbulence, art, tradition, and nature intermingle to create a scene of mesmerising beauty.
Mount Fuji rises on this canvas full of contrasts, like an eternal and majestic protector guarding the city and its inhabitants. The flowering cherry at its feet add a touch of tenderness and ephemeral beauty to the urban horizon. In the midst of this symphony of city and nature is the origami, the art of folding paper, which epitomizes the traditional and cultural values of Japan.
“Travelling to Tokyo was tantamount to total immersion in a culture that blends deep tradition in a very modern and dynamic city. The venerable aura of Mount Fuji and the delicate Origami creations are both perfect symbols of Tokyo’s contrasting aspects.”

The backstory
Real origami
At the heart of this horological masterpiece is an origami made from a piece of metallic paper. It represents a crane, a symbol of longevity and happiness, and illustrates the extraordinary skill of the dial-makers.
The aventurine evokes a starry night and serves as a backdrop to Mount Fuji and the delicate cherry blossoms, all hand-painted with remarkable precision.
This composition captures the very essence of the great city of Tokyo, where time seems suspended in a poetic atmosphere. It incarnates the perfect harmony between the métiers d’art in watchmaking and the timeless treasure of Japanese traditions.
