Infusing a playful element, a clever play on words revolves around the lucky number 8 (發), symbolising wealth, while the numeral at 12 artfully resembles 'noon' (中).
Further enhancing the design, a green date window (白板) is strategically positioned at 6pm. Collectively, these three elements come together to form the dragon tile set in a mahjong game.
The jade green ceramic bezel is delicately etched and infused with luminescent material, showcasing the four cardinal directions: 東 (East), 南 (South), 西 (West), and 北 (North).
Beyond their directional significance, these elements also symbolise a winning combination in the game.
