SEVEN WINDOWS Leather model [VM15-CDBNWH-SSD]

The clearest way to understand the SEVEN WINDOWS is to hold one and turn it slowly. Light keeps arriving from somewhere new, and a white dial shows every one of those arrivals.

MINASE cuts the outer case as a square with six facets and splits the crown into two on the flank, which totals seven sapphire panels. Their job is not decorative: light enters through the sides and the back as well as the front, so a dial that is already three-dimensional is lit from several directions and changes as the angle changes.

This reference pairs that white textured dial with a leather strap, which brings the wearing weight down to around 89 grams and softens the whole proposition. The steel case measures 37.4 by 46.5 mm and 13 mm thick with the crystal, its planes mirror-polished by hand and its ridges left deliberately sharp.

The movement is the self-winding KT7002, a Swiss ETA 2892 and Sellita SW300 base finished and decorated by MINASE, with a date. Water resistance is 5 atm, which is splash and rain protection rather than anything more.

Perfect for: white dial leather watches, lightweight luxury watches, collectors who value hand finishing over complications.
