A perfect example of how this passion for light and shadow is translated into the home is Karesansui, the uniquely Japanese style of garden in which landscapes of mountains and water are evoked using only rocks and sand. The illusion of water is expressed in white sand, and even when a dim light shines on the surface, a wave-like pattern emerges from the contrasting planes of light and the shadow formed by the deep grooves. The dial of this Grand Seiko eatures a delicately embossed pattern of gently curving lines that radiate out from the center. As the angle and intensity of the light alters, the dial presents an ever-changing aspect, just as does the sand in a Karesansui garden. The watch features the manual-winding Spring Drive Caliber 9R31. As the seconds hand moves silently, smoothly and gracefully across the textured dial with the unique glide motion of Spring Drive, it evokes the same sense of the natural and serene passage of time that one feels when gazing at a Karesansui.
