Extra Normal Turntable Watch - Silver Case/Black Dial/Silver Milanese Loop

Time—it records our past, present, and future, and it pauses for no one. "What time is it?" is a question that busy modern people often ask. Japan's renowned watch brand, Normal Timepieces, extends the act of "telling time" into a realm of aesthetic creativity and design. The "Extra Normal Turntable Watch" released by the brand features a watch face where the movement of hour and minute hands is not visible, transforming the timepiece into a beautiful piece of decorative art. Unlike typical watches that display numbers from one to twelve, the "Extra Normal Turntable Watch" is designed to draw your attention to the "current moment." Whether it's seven in the morning or midnight, the entire day is hidden beneath the black and white turntable, revealing only the present number, signifying the importance of focusing on the now. At first glance, the Extra Normal Grande appears to be an elegant, minimalist wristwatch. However, the details are not so simple. As time passes, elusive numbers move in and out of view, creating a subtle effect. The hour hand is, in fact, the circular disk that forms the watch face. This disk has a window, within its hour, through which the numbers on the dial below are displayed. Designer Ross McBride imbues his creations with his personal vision. The clock resembles a turntable, and the second hand acts like a stylus, smoothly sweeping across each track in a clockwise direction, operating with a regular and steady rhythm. Life is not monotonous; instead, each day is a solid foundation for creating a beautiful life melody. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Normal is deeply interested in the history of digital watches. Over the years, we have dedicated ourselves to refining electronic watches, aiming to introduce them into the market for modern aesthetic timepieces. This series represents the foundation of the Normal brand and is one of our earliest and most iconic designs. Its understated concept, minimalism, and genuine materials form the basis of our approach to lifestyle aesthetics. ▎**Product Specifications** Movement: Miyota 2035 Battery: SR626SW (3-year lifespan) Dimensions: Ø38 x 8 mm / Ø1.26 inches x 0.374 inches Case: 316 Stainless Steel Crystal: Mineral Crystal Strap: Milanese Loop Strap Weight: 50g / 1.23oz.
