Lemnos Thomson Paper

Wall clock that skilfully combines different materials and rounded shapes for a final product with a vintage flavour. The plywood frame encloses a dial made with a particular “Mermaid Paper” and ash hands. The numbers indicating the hours are made with a special die-cutting machine used to create precise, rounded shapes that leave soft shadows on the wood underneath with a three-dimensional effect.

Characteristics

Takata Lemnos was founded in 1947 in the city of Takaoka as a brass foundry for the production of Buddhist ritual objects. Thanks to the collaboration with the current Seiko, it also launched itself into the production of watches, thus gaining ever greater recognition at an international level, winning numerous awards and starting further collaborations with world-famous designers.

Lemnos watches are carefully crafted by specialized craftsmen who over time have refined Japanese production techniques with the aim of enhancing the beauty of the materials to create fine products with an ever-present design. The company's concept, in fact, focuses not only on the practical purpose of the watch, but also on its aesthetic value to offer timeless and cutting-edge beauty.
