The “Most Handmade” HITOTOKI Clock

To emphasize the handmade nature of HITOTOKI’s crafting products, Dentsu Japan created a delightful stop-motion clock with each of the 1,440 minutes in a day constructed in real-time during one 24-hour take.

Ryosuke Miyashita, art director at Dentsu Japan: “In a world where everything is so hectic and efficient, we wanted to bring the value of ‘handmade’ to life. We created different combinations of small HITOTOKI brand items to express each and every minute.

“At our official website, we released a real-time version of the clock – creating a new kind of branded content that is actually useful in daily life.”
