The Nexus is built on the belief that good design does not announce itself. It settles. Inspired by Japanese modernism and early architectural experimentation, the watch is shaped by proportion, light, and restraint rather than trend or spectacle. Its layered case architecture creates depth without weight, presence without noise. Over time, it reveals more to those who live with it. This is not a watch meant to impress quickly, but one that stays.

Living in Nexus: On the Dial, Between Intentions
In this chapter, I want to focus specifically on these two dials. Both take their cues from the calm waters of Yanagawa’s canals in Fukuoka, the same prefecture that informed the Nexus case profile. Their surfaces flow with a quiet rhythm, echoing the slow passage of a donkobune drifting past weathered wooden buildings. Finished with a soft satin sheen, the dials respond gently to light.
A Traveller's Companion
The Meguro series strikes a perfect balance between the bustling energy of city life and serene moments of introspection. It epitomizes sophisticated casualness, making it an exceptional GMT sports watch for travelers who seek both adventure and peace. For many Japanese watch enthusiasts, the collection may evoke memories of a specific Seiko grail: the Grand Seiko’s first GMT Spring Drive, Ref. SBGE001.

For a sub $400
watch, I’d expect
competent finishing,
but Hitori has gone above
and beyond. Every edge is crisp.
- The Time Bum
"A watch that makes me feel Japan more than Japanese" that shakes my heart at the scene that Japanese people take for granted, and shapes that emotion with its own expression... That was the "Nexus" I saw."
