In collaboration with iconic Japanese fashion leader Issey Miyake, product designer Naoko Fukasawa created this timepiece. Be sure to check out the gallery photos of its uniquely shaped bezel. Its trapezoidal shape, along with its simple wristband and assertive colors, make it a unique watch, and an interesting contrast from the reductionist Fukasawa Twelve, their other collaboration. Given its origins and manufacture, we are pleased with the price point of this collection.
Here's what Fukasawa says, "As the name TRAPEZOID suggests, I first had the image of a trapezoid form in rotation. So, the bezel is cut steeply, and a tachymeter is provided on it. Numbers are proportioned like speed limits painted on a road surface - stretched in height to be readable normally when viewed from the front, despite their steep angles around the circumference. It's a familiar scene and effect, and I've used it now in combination with chronograph functions. In the same way, fashion and motor sports are unified via the use of strong color contrasts; for example, yellow numbers against a red face, and yellow-green against a blue face."
