The aim is to present this unique world view that Spring Drive has already achieved in this art installation space.
With an enormous visual screen that transforms the transience of time into space as a background, 12 clear objects are lined up neatly.
Coming closer and looking through the objects, you can see over 200 watch parts integrated with the constantly moving scenery, creating its own microcosm.
The small twinkling spots of light surrounding the parts, demonstrate the existence of small electricity generated by the parts themselves in silence.
As you walk along the 12 objects, the parts are formed into a watch movement, and complimented with the moving scenery, they further evoke the visitors emotions.
The complete watch movement will continue to display time though it is sealed inside the object: this is where the flow of time never ceases to exist.
The creation process of the watch movement and how it is complimented with the moving scenery shows time in transience. This shows the coexistence of high precision and enriched feelings. The combination of the moving scenery and the object that was created by a special method is an enormous spatial device, where you can experience the philosophy of Grand Seiko embodying the essence of time.
