The essent clock (エッセント), designed by Daisuke Kitagawa, was created through a careful exploration of the essential function and materials of a wall clock.

Time is expressed through two systems: the 12-hour scale for hours and the 60-minute/second scale for minutes and seconds. While most clocks display only the numbers 1-12, essent presents both systems clearly by using two sets of numerals and two distinct colours, allowing the hour, minute, and second scales to be recognised more intuitively at a glance. A custom typeface was also developed to ensure clarity while maintaining a calm, balanced appearance.

Inspired by traditional letterpress printing, the dial is crafted from thick paper and finished with foil stamping and blind embossing, creating subtle depth and texture rarely seen in wall clocks.

  • Size: φ 256 x D46 mm
  • Materials: Aluminium, Paper Dial, UV-Protective Acrylic
  • Movement: Sweep second (silent movement)

Thoughtfully balancing function, material, and form, essent offers a clock that is clear, refined, and easy to read for both children and adults. Its understated design fits naturally into modern interiors and also makes a thoughtful gift for design lovers or housewarmings.

Carefully crafted in Japan, Essent reflects the precision and quiet refinement of contemporary Japanese design.

What’s in the box?

Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
