A mysterious pattern that is both geometric and organic. It is a unique shape found only in meteorites, called the Widmanstätten structure. It is something that slowly crystallized over an eternity, and it is said that it is impossible to reproduce it by human hands. No two are the same, which makes them all special.

The material used was the Muonionarsta meteorite, which was discovered in Sweden in 1906. According to research, the meteorite collided with the Earth 1 million years ago, and it is estimated that the meteorite itself has existed for 4.6 billion years, the same year as the Earth. It is believed to be the oldest of its kind discovered on Earth.

The insatiable spirit of exploration that resides in the submersible The “discovery” of meteorite was fate. “Picard” is a collection inspired by the submersible that Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard sailed on.The super dome-shaped sapphire crystal lens, also known as a “bubble lens,” is used on submersibles with excellent water pressure resistance. It was inspired by portholes. It was only natural that the insatiable spirit of exploration within our collections led us to Meteorite.

[What is a spinniker]
“Spinika” is designed with the concept of “a watch that transcends the sea and lives with the sea” as a wristwatch for people involved in sea sports such as yachting and free diving.
The brand name “Spinniker” comes from the large hemispherical sail that hangs in front of a yacht’s mast and is used when there is a tailwind. The brand name was chosen to represent the “adventure spirit” that drives humans to the sea. This symbolizes that a person is at the helm and sailing. The illustration of a spinniker is also expressed in the logo, and its elegant image is firmly engraved on the rotor of the drive unit.
“Spinika” released its vintage collection in 2016, and in 2018 it began selling at Galeries Lafayette, considered the most famous department store in Paris. It gained a lot of fame. Furthermore, the name has spread further due to the “vintage design boom” and “diver’s design boom” that spread in 2019, and it is now available in Italy, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Hong Kong. It has grown into a popular brand that sells over 40,000 bottles a year. [About the Ueni trade]
