HALOGRAPH's Mecha Mechanical Appearance and battery-less secrets can be found by looking at the following movies.


HALOGRAPH is different from ordinary watches, numbers are written only in the upper half of the dial.


The tip of the long hand and the short hand are rounded, and the design which can see the number written on the dial is transparent. The hour hand and the dial showing "hour" are located near the center.


The minute hand representing the "minute" and the dial are located outside the circle.


To know the time, just read the numbers visible from the tip of the needle OK. For example this is at 7:10. Because the long hand and the short hand are not rotated about the center of the parts as a fulcrum, the dial is made to indicate "minutes" from the outside and two "hours" on the inside.


This represents 10:35. The teardrop type part that shaped "X" in the center is the second hand, there is no dial showing seconds, but the part playing the role of the needle plays once in 60 seconds.


In the lower half of the watch, there is a peeping window with a glimpse of the internal mechanism.


The part where the number on the dial is written is a design with a great rise.


The tip of the crown models a brand name "X" of XERIC.


The band is also embossed with "X".


The back of the watch is rounded and green parts are fitted in.


When wearing the wrist watch and moving the arm, the parts in the middle swing to the left and right, creating the power of the watch.
