TACS “Color Lens” – Japan Exclusive Design Watch (Model TFO, Ref. TS11012)

This exceptional TACS design watch is a prime example of Japanese design language: a minimalist dial with an optical depth effect and a delicate color gradient from rose to violet tones, encased in a matte black stainless steel case.
The curved glass makes the watch resemble a camera lens – a characteristic trademark of the TACS brand.

The original leather strap with TACS embossing underscores the overall high-quality impression. The watch is in very good condition with only minor signs of wear.

Brand background (TACS)

TACS (Tokyo, Japan) was founded in 2010 by designer Yoshiaki Motegi , who previously worked for Casio and Citizen.
The brand stands for conceptual watches with a focus on Japanese minimalism, photography and architecture .
Each model is designed in Japan and manufactured using a Japanese quartz movement.
TACS officially sells only through selected boutiques in Japan and Hong Kong, making its models highly sought-after collector's items outside of Asia.

Well-known series such as Lens , Day & Night or AVL II are strongly inspired by camera and optics design – this watch also belongs to this design typology.
