About Just Karaka Ringa

He karaka ringa a Just i hoahoatia mō te pānui wawe me te ngāwari o te wā. He papatahi, he koki te take, ā, kia mātotoru ake i te taha tekau mā rua karaka, kia anga tonu ai te mata ki te kaimau. Ka taea te pānui i te wā me te kore huri i te ringaringa, hei tauira i te wā e taraiwa ana, i te wā rānei e mahi ana ki ngā taputapu. Kua whakanohoia he anga pou-wiri mārō ki te tuarā o te take, hei whakakapi mō ngā taupā paerewa, ā, ka pupuri kia mau pai te whitiki 22 mm. Nā te tūnga o te whīra, ka taea te mau i te ringaringa mauī, i te ringaringa matau rānei. E rima ngā momo mata e whakakotahi ana i ngā nama Arapi me ngā tohu rakau. Ko te take he 42 mm te whānui, 42 mm te roa, 15 mm te mātotoru.

Unique Properties: From a wrist presence perspective, the watch has unique and minimalistic styling. It has the size and weight to grab the attention of those around it without being intrusive. The casing is flat and angled to your face. In fact, it is much thicker at the 12 oclock side of the watch. This has the effect of positioning the watch face at such an angle that allows the wearer to look at the time without needing to turn the wrist.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 42 mm x Depth 42 mm x Height 15 mm
Tags: watch, kibardin, limited edition, fashion, just watch, unique
Production Technology: Unique Lugs construction means the right fit.
A man should never wear his wristwatch loose. A separate solid screw-in frame is fitted to the back of the watch case, and fulfils the role of the standard watch lugs with a 22 mm width. The strap is attached reliably to the frame for a perfectly snug fit.
Design Challenge: When choosing a watch, it is important to consider the type of dial, its aesthetic and functionality. The dial is the first thing people notice, and is the focal point for the watchs style. The five watch faces contain the hour and minute markers and were created in five classic arabic numeral and stick combinations. The natural affinities between the five dials are based on the main visual representations of the Just watch style.
Research: The new watch collection is based on numerous values, a passion for achievement, and the quest for technical and aesthetic excellence. We hope to give rise to a collection of exceptional watches that will have success among connoisseurs and devotees of future-oriented watches. The Kibardin timepieces line is shifting up a level with new watches endowed with high quality technology and designs.
Inspiration: Dedicated to the world of the brave, the independent, and the strong, the JUST watchs powerful and refined aesthetic pays homage to the various reliability and design hallmarks of vehicle dashboards and lifesaving apparatus.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2015 in Prague and finished in August 2017 in Hong Kong, new improved limited edition was initiated in January 2021.
Operation Flow: Your watch is with you whenever you need time functions - you are face to face with it every time you slide behind the wheel. Its shape is integral to its function. A watch should be easy and pleasing to look at, as well as look cool in your car.

Due to the crowns novel position, the watch can be worn on the left or right wrist, and you can read the time without needing to turn your wrist while your hands are on the steering wheel, on the desk during a business meeting or rendezvous, or working hard with tools.
